CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to e ciently
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 fl ow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n
Using the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air ow.
Good Better
n
Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
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.
n
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.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the lint screen
Cleaning the dryer location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block
the air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing
piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
Cleaning the dryer interior
To clean dryer drum
1. Apply a liquid, non ammable household cleaner to the
stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until
stain is removed.
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum
OR
Use a micro ber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second micro ber towel to dry.
NOTE: Items that contain loose dyes, such as denim blue
jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer
interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will
not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out
to avoid drum staining.
Removing accumulated lint
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done
by a quali ed servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.
The control panel has a “Check Lint Screen” indicator light
to remind you to clean the lint screen before each load.
A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen straight up and out. Press tab down on
front to open lint screen. Roll lint o the screen with your
ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet
lint is hard to remove.
2. Close the lint screen and push rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
n If lint falls o the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
n Clean space where lint screen
is located, as needed. Using a
vacuum, gently remove any lint
that has accumulated outside
of the lint screen.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up
on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times
for your clothes or cause the dryer to stop before your load
is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls
o while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint o the screen with your ngers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot
water and liquid detergent. Scrub
lint screen with the brush to remove
residue buildup.
