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
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.
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.
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 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 to save energy.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.
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.
