CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
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 eciently
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.

DRYER CARE
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, nonammable 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 will
not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out
to avoid drum staining.
Removing accumulated lint
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 straight out of its holder. Roll lint o
the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen
to remove lint.
2. Push the lint screen rmly 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 o 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
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.
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 qualied servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall
screen in dryer.
9
Vacation, storage, and moving care
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. 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.”
Moving Care
For power supply cord-connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
3. Use tape to secure dryer door.
Changing the drum light
(on some models)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the
back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,
remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner
of the cover. Remove the cover.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
For direct-wired dryers:
1. Turn o power at fuse or breaker box.
2. Disconnect wiring.
3. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
4. Use tape to secure dryer door.
Reinstalling the Dryer
Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level,
and connect the dryer.
3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a
10-watt appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and
secure with the screw.
4. Plug into a grounded outlet or reconnect power.
Changing the Auto Cycle Settings
to Increase Drying Time
If all your loads on all Auto cycles are consistently not as dry
as you would like, you may change the default settings to
increase the default dryness level.
Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt
to dierent installations, environmental conditions, or
personal preference. This change is retained and will aect
all of your Automatic cycles, not just the current cycle/load.
There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using
the Cycle Status lights (Wet, Damp, Cool Down LEDs)
1 Factory preset dryness level.
2 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
3 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.
To change the drying settings (on some models):
NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer
is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode
(the power button is o) to adjust the default settings.
1. Before starting a cycle, press and hold the DRY TEMP
button for 6 seconds.
2. Press the DRY TEMP button to select the dryness level
shown in the cycle status light display: Wet light
on = level 1, Wet and Damp lights on = level 2, and
Wet, Damp, and Cool Down lights on = level 3.
3. Press START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level
setting.

easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel very
warm.
Select a lower temperature, and use an Auto Dry cycle. These
cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and
shut o when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces
overdrying.
