Maintain good air flow 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 flow.

..........................Bet

Good Air Flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air flow 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 flow.

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.

[] 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 final product check.

[] Clearing away items from the front the dryer.

USE AUTO DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS

Use the Auto Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Auto Dry cycles, drying air temperature is sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts of]: when the load

reaches the selected dryness. Choose Normal cycle to save energy. With Timed Dry cycle, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

over-drying. Use Timed Dry cycle for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done

by a qualified servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years_ or more often_

depending on dryer usage.

FCleaning the lint screen

Every load cleanlng

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 fingers. Do not rinse or wash

screen to remove lint.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Cleaning the dryer interior To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable 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. NOTE: Garments 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 wJil

not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out to avoid drum staining.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. iMPORTANT:

[] 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.

[] if lint falls off: the screen into the dryer during removal_

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See

"Venting Requirements."

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.

To wash:

1. Roll lint off: the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
