DRYER SAFETY

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:

nCleaning your lint screen before each load.

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

nUse the shortest length of vent possible.

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

Good

Better

nRemove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

nRemove 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.

nClear away items from the front 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. The dryer will default to Normal Dryness Level to save energy.

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.

NOTE: The Air Dry Temp Level Feature is not available on the Sensor Cycles.

Dryness Level (for use with Sensor Cycles only)

Use the Dryness option to select dryness levels for the Sensor Cycles only.

Wrinkle Prevent Feature

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE PREVENT feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming.

n Get up to 60 or 150 minutes for models with two choices, 90 minutes for models with only one choice of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Press the WRINKLE PREVENT button to turn ON or OFF at any time before the cycle has ended.

Timed Dry (for use with Timed Cycles only)

Will run the dryer for the specified time on the control. Depending on model, temperature may be selected on the cycle knob or may be located on a separate control.

6CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

Lights indicate the progress of the drying cycles.

CYCLE GUIDE — SENSOR DRY CYCLES

Not all cycles and settings are available on all models. Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

SENSOR DRY CYCLE - Senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Gives the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.

Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

Depending on model, temperature may be selected on cycle knob or be a separate control.

Setting the Drying Temperature

Select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.

Temperature Tips

If your dryer has multiple heat settings:

A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

USING YOUR DRYER

1. Clean the lint screen

A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying mediumweight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

An Extra-Low heat setting may be used for drying lightweight items such as lingerie.

Use a no heat (air dry) setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions.

2. Load the dryer

Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

For additional cleaning information, see “Dryer Care.”

Place laundry in the dryer. Close the door. Do not overload the dryer; clothes should be able to tumble freely.

4. Select the desired cycle

Select the desired cycle for your load. See the “Cycle Guide” or the display for more information about each cycle.

The default cycle settings will be shown. For some cycles,

you may select alternate settings by pressing the button for that setting. Time adjusts for Manual Cycles only.

NOTE: Not all modifiers are available with all cycles.

Temp Level (for use with Timed Cycles only)

Press the TEMP LEVEL button to change the drying temperature from the default setting. Press the (+) for more time or (-) less time and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold (+) for more time or (-) less time and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

Dryness Level (for use with Sensor Cycles only)

Normal dryness level is a good starting point for optimal energy savings.

You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing the button for 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 Dry cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.

NOTE: More Dry removes more load moisture. Normal Dry is used for a starting point for sensor drying. Less Dry removes less moisture and used for loads you may want to put on a hanger to complete drying.
