in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exha ust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp.

2. Move dr yer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

Complete Installation

1. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an

extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

2. Check to be sure you have all of your tools.

3. Dispose of all pack ag i ng ma t er i als.

4. Check the dryer’s final location. Be sure the vent is not

remove any dust.

10. Set the dryer on a full heat cycle (not the Air cy cle) for 20 minutes. Open the dryer door after five minutes and feel for heat. If you do not feel heat, turn the dryer off and wait five minutes. You may notice a burning odor. This odor is common when the heating element is first used. The odor will go away.

Auto Temp Control

In automatic drying cycles, the temperature of the clothes is reduced by automatically turning down the heat , as the clothes become dry. This reduc es ov er dryi ng an d pro vides bett er car e o f the fabrics in your clothes.

EVENHEA T™ with Auto T emp

Control

The EVENHEAT with Auto Temp Control system for drying uses dual moisture sensing devices and SENSOR SMART™ controls. EVENHEAT with Auto Temp Control shortens drying time and dries the load at lower temperatures for optimal fabric care. The EVENHEAT with Auto Temp Control system monitors the temperature of the heated air to ensure that it is never too hot to cause fabric damage. It also terminates the cycle when the clothes are dry to reduce shrinkage.

Drying System

“SMART” Cool Down Period

When the selected leve l of dryness is reached, the dryer goes into a cool dow n p erio d las ting 2-10 minutes. Un like o t he r d rye rs that provide a fixed "SMART" cool down is based on the cycle time and selected dryness setting.

■ For small loads or loads that are dried at a lower temperature,

the cool down may be as low as 2 minutes.

■ For large loads or loads that are dried at a higher

temperature, the cool down will be closer to 10 minutes.

10 minute cool down, the length of the

Jeans Cycle

Auto T emperature Control monitors the temperature and moisture of your clothes and turns down the temperature at the right time. By sensing the temperature and moisture, jeans come out of the dryer ready to wear. You can put them on without them being damp or overdry.

DRYER USE

Properly loading your dryer can lower your utility bill and prolong the life of your garments .

Loading suggestions

■ Load the dryer by the amount of space items take up, not by

their weight.

■ Do not overload the dryer. This causes uneven drying and

wrinkling.

Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load. The display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is

automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a cycle is using Timed Dry, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.

Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Dow n makes the loads easier to handle. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.

Drying tips

■ Follow care label directions when they are available.

■ If you use fabric softener sheets, use only ones labeled as

dryer safe. Follow package instructions.

■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to

reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

Cycle tips

■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

■ Use this chart as a guide to dry various loads. Dr yi ng

temperature and Auto Dry Level (Normal Dry) are preset when you choose an Auto Dry cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load. (See “M odifiers.”)

■ For a Timed cycle, drying temperature is preset. You cannot

choose an AUTO DRY LEVEL with a Timed Dry cycle.
