CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Good Air Flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air fl ow to efficiently 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 fl ow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce air fl 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:

nCleaning your lint screen before each load.

nReplacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

nUsing the shortest length of vent possible.

nUsing no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air fl ow.

Good Better

nRemoving lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

nRemoving 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 fi nal product check.

nClearing 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 off 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 dryer location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the air fl 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, nonfl 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.

Cleaning the dryer interior (cont.)

3.Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum

OR

Use a microfi ber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfi 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 qualifi ed servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1.Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the screen with your fi ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen fi rmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

nDo 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.

nIf lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting

Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.

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 off 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.

10

Cleaning the lint screen (cont.)

To wash:

1.Roll lint off the screen with your fi 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.

4.Rinse screen with hot water.

5.Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen in dryer.

Vacation, storage, and moving care

Steam models only: Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non-Use or Storage Care

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:

1.Unplug dryer or disconnect power.

2.Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”

3.Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid unintended fl ooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

Moving Care

For power supply cord-connected dryers:

1.Unplug the power supply cord.

2.Gas models only: Close shut-off valve in gas supply line.

3.Gas models only: Disconnect gas supply line pipe and remove fi ttings attached to dryer pipe.
