Worksurface

The worksurface bridges the washer and dryer, and provides a convenient working and storage area.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

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.

Maintain good air flow by:

νCleaning your lint screen before each load.

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

νUse the shortest length of vent possible.

νUse no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air flow.

Good

Better

νRemove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

νRemove 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.

νClear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use Sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor 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. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

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.

Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

νResults may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after cycles that use steam.

νUse of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

νCycles that use steam are not recommended for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using cycles that use steam.

νThe Refresh Cycle is best for reducing light wrinkles from loads left in the dryer too long.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Appearance may vary

You may adjust different settings, depending on whether you have selected a Sensor Cycle, Timed Cycle, or Steam Cycle (on some models). See the “Cycle Guide” for detailed information.

NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles. Not all cycles are on all models.

Sensor Cycles:

You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by touching DRYNESS LEVEL to scroll to More, Normal, or Less. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

Sensor cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.

Timed Cycles:

When you select a Timed Cycle, the default time appears

in the display. Touch + and – to increase or decrease the time

in 1-minute increments. Touch and hold to change the time in 5-minute increments.

The default temperature may be changed by touching Temperature until the desired dry temperature is lit.

Steam Cycles:
