CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Maintain good airflow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n
Using the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system. Each bend and curve reduces airflow.
Good
Better
Good airflow
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow 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 airflow.
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.
n
Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
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.
n
Clearing away items from the front of the dryer.
Use Sensor Cycles for optimal fabric care and energy savings
Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the optimal 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. You can also use the Extra Power option with Sensor Cycles for harder-to-dry or mixed loads.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying. 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 (on some models)
n
Results 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.
n
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
n
Cycles 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.
n The Steam Refresh cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from loads consisting of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetics.

:
Sensing
Cool Down
Check Vent
Appearance may vary.
The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle. Not all indicators are available on all models.
Sensing
The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent.
Wet
The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.
Damp
The load still has moisture remaining, a good point in the cycle to remove a garment to air dry or iron.
Cool Down
The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.
Check Vent
The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Sensor Cycles only. This indicator will show the status of airflow through the dryer and the dryer vent system for the dryer’s life. During the sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire cycle. Should the Check Vent light illuminate, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section for potential solutions to the issue.
The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching Power, or opening the door. It will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless the root cause is resolved.
NOTE: The dryer will continue to operate even while the indicator is lit, but poor airflow can impact dry times and overall performance. For more information on maintaining good airflow, see “Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow.” If there are other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will not light up. See the “Troubleshooting” section.
