CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW

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 the Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good airflow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce airflow and dryer performance.

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. To clean or repair venting, contact a venting specialist.

Maintain good airflow by:

nCleaning your lint screen before each load.

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

nUsing the shortest length of vent possible.

nUsing no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces airflow.

Good Better

nRemoving lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

nRemoving 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.

nClearing away items from the front of the dryer.

EcoBoost™ option

Touch to activate the EcoBoost™ option, which allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. For automatic cycles, the EcoBoost™ option will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes; the display will reflect this time.

EcoBoost™ is only available on the Regular/Normal cycle and defaults on for that cycle. For optimal energy, turn on the EcoBoost™ option. For optimal time, turn off the EcoBoost™ option. Not available on all cycles and settings.

Use automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Using automatic (not timed) cycles, the drying air temperature and moisture levels are sensed in the load. This sensing process occurs throughout the entire drying cycle and turns off once the load reaches your selected dryness level. Using the Normal dryness level provides the optimal energy savings.

When using Timed Dry/Quick Dry, the dryer runs for the amount of time you select, which can result 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

nResults 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.

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

nCycles that use steam are not recommended for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using a cycle that uses steam.

nThe 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.

CYCLE GUIDE

Your dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load. The “What to Dry” “How to Dry” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:

1.First determine what items are in the load that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your “What to Dry” selection.

2.Then determine how you want the dryer to dry them by selecting the appropriate “How to Dry” selection. Modifiers are preset for the items being dried, but can be changed if desired.

To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the automatic cycles. These cycles measure the drying air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. Dryer performance and results may vary with service voltage less than 240.

DRYER CARE

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airfl 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.Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth.

2.Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.

3.Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum OR

Use a microfi ber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfi ber towel to dry.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid transfer of dye.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT

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 qualifi ed appliance servicer or ventilation system cleaner.

From the exhaust vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Every-load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1.Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your fi ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push fi rmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

nDo 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.

nIf lint falls off 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 off 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 off the screen with your fi 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.

4.Rinse screen with hot water.

5.Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen in dryer.
