CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to eciently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times
and improve your energy savings. See Installation
Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role
in good air ow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as
improper venting installation will reduce air ow and
dryer performance.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered
by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless
of who installed the dryer. To clean or repair venting, contact
a venting specialist.
Maintain good air ow by:
■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
■ Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■ Using the shortest length of vent possible.
■ Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air ow.
Good Better
■ Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■ Removing lint from the entire length of the vent system
at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete,
be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied
with your dryer for nal product check.
■ Clearing away items from the front of the dryer.
USE SENSING CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Sensing Cycles to get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensing Cycles, drying
air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts o
when the load reaches the selected dryness. Choose Normal cycle to save energy.
With Timed Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
overdrying. Use Timed Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

You may choose a temperature setting based on the
fabrics in your load. Drying time and temperature will
vary depending on your dryer model.
Sensing Cycles
Sensing cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.
Drying time will vary based on fabric type, load size,
and dryness setting.
LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

SENSING
CYCLES
SENSING CYCLES: Senses moisture in the load and shuts o when the load reaches the selected dryness level. The dry temperature
shown is the default temperature. This setting can be modied on some cycles but is not retained for future drying with this cycle. The
dryness level shown is the default dryness setting. This setting can be changed on some cycles and will be retained for future drying with
this cycle. Available options in bold are default settings for that cycle.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Sensing Cycles. These cycles measure the drying
air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer o once the load reaches the selected dryness level. For electric models, dryer
performance and results may vary with service voltage less than 240.

Guard™ option, the dryer will go into Pause mode. You will
need to touch POWER to turn o or touch START/PAUSE
to continue the Wrinkle Guard™ option.
You may adjust dierent settings depending on whether you
have selected a Sensing Cycle or Timed Cycle. See the “Cycle
Guide” chart for detailed information.
NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles.
Sensing Cycles:
You can select a dierent dryness level, depending on your
load, by touching DRY LEVEL to scroll to More, Normal, or
Less. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts the
dryness level at which the dryer will shut o. Dry Level can be
changed in the rst 5-8 minutes of the cycle. Sensing cycles give
the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on
fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.
NOTE: More Dry removes more load moisture. Normal Dry is
used for a starting point for Sensing Cycles. Choose Normal
to save energy. Less Dry removes less moisture and is used for
loads you may want to put on a hanger to complete drying.

7. Touch and hold START/PAUSE
to begin cycle
Touch and hold the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle.
Promptly remove items after cycle has completed to reduce
wrinkling. Use the Wrinkle Guard™ option to avoid wrinkling
when you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon
as it stops.
Changing the Sensing Cycle settings to increase
or decrease drying time
If all loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry
or more dry than you would like, you may change the default
settings to increase or decrease the default dryness level.
Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to
dierent installations, environmental conditions, or personal
preference. This change is retained and will aect all of your
Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are
ve drying settings, which are displayed using the time display:
0 Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time.
1 Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.
2 Factory preset dryness level.
3 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
4 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.
DRYER CARE
