Determine vent path

■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors.

■ Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and

turns.

■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as

possible.

■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance

■ Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

■ NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in

the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

■ Shorten the life of the dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance.

1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint

Screen.”

2. Place laundry in dryer and shut door.

3. Press the POWER button. Then rotate the dial or press a

Timed Cycles button to select the desired Auto or Timed Cycle. The indicator light for the selected Auto or Timed cycle will glow green. The preset modifiers for the selected cycle will glow green. Selectable options will glow amber. If an option or modifier is unavailable with the selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. The estimated or actual cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.

To use an Auto Cycle NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the

feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.

■ Select an Auto Cycle.

WARNING

Fire Hazard No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils). Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried

on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

■ Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the

load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level.

NOTE: Most loads may be dried using Normal dryness level, which is shown in bold letters on your control panel. Normal is the energy preferred dryness level and will use the least energy.

■ Select the desired Options.

To make changes during an Auto Cycle:

■ Press STOP once.

■ Adjust Dryness Level.

NOTE: Dryness Level selections can be made only while using Auto Cycles. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness Level and choosing More Dry, Normal or Less Dry. Selecting More Dry, Normal or Less Dry automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.

How Auto Dry works

SmartHeat™ improves drying performance with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

To use a Timed Cycle NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the

feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.

■ Press a Timed Cycles button or, to select Air Fluff, rotate

the control knob to the desired cycle.

■ Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying

time is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME, and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold MORE TIME or LESS TIME, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

NOTE: The More Time and Less Time buttons can be used only with Timed Cycles.

■ Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature

glows.

NOTE: During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temperature, WRINKLE GUARD

and End of Cycle Signal. Press STOP twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings. Select another cycle or option.

4. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more

details, see “Options.”

5. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, set the

End of Cycle Signal

. Select LOUD or SOFT by pressing the Cycle Signal button to alert you when a cycle ends.

Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Auto Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time, which is determined by your dryer automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle or SteamCare Cycle is running, 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 Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. 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 desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package

instructions.

■ To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon

as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.

This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

■ Refer to the Auto, Timed or SteamCare Cycles Preset

Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.

■ Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when

you choose an Auto Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness Level and choosing More Dry, Normal or Less Dry.

NOTE: You cannot use the Timed Cycle Adjust and you cannot modify temperature with the Auto Cycles.

■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle,

press More Time or Less Time. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot use the Dryness Level with Timed or SteamCare Cycles.
