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:
■■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
■■ Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■■ |
Use the shortest length of vent possible. |
|
■■ |
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; |
|
|
each bend and curve reduces air flow. |
|
|
Good |
Better |
■■ Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■■ Remove 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.
■■ Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
USE SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Sensor Dry/Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Dry/Automatic Dry cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level is sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. The Energy Preferred cycle will 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.

WRINKLE CONTROL Feature (on some models)
The WRINKLE CONTROL feature will run after your drying cycle is complete. It periodically starts and stops the dryer, tumbling the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.
On some models, WRINKLE CONTROL automatically starts at the end of the cycle. Opening the door will stop this feature.
NOTE: A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE CONTROL setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle signal is also selected.
3WRINKLE CONTROL option (on some models)
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE CONTROL option periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming.
■■ Get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Turn the WRINKLE CONTROL knob to select OFF or 90 min. at any time before the cycle has ended.
4PUSH TO START/END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the dryer location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the air flow 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, nonflammable 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
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 qualified servicer.
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 dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1.Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly 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.”
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 fingers.
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.
