CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Maintain good air ow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4” (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air ow.
Good Better
Good air ow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently
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.
n
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
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 nal product check.
n
Clear away items from the front the dryer.
Use Auto Ciclos (Auto Cycles) for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Auto Ciclos (Auto Cycles) to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Auto Ciclos
(Auto 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.
With Ciclos Manuales, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Ciclos Manuales (Timed Cycles) for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using
the drying rack.

from the dryer as soon as it stops.
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
