DRYER SAFETY

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Maintain good air ow by:
n
n
n
n
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 ow.
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
n
n
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 nal 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 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 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.

CYCLE KNOB
Use Cycle Knob to select available cycles on your dryer. Turn
the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See “Cycle
Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
TIMED DRY
Will run the dryer for the specied time on the control.
On models with a selectable temperature knob, you may
choose a setting based on the fabrics in your load. On some
models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.
Drying time and temperature will depend on your dryer
model.
SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY
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 will vary based
on fabric type, load size, and temperature setting.

Appearance may vary.
TEMPERATURE / FABRIC
2
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.
PUSH TO START/END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
3
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
drying cycle is nished. Promptly removing clothes at the end
of the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Turn the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL knob to select the desired
setting (On or Off). Press the PUSH TO START knob to start
the dryer.
3
WRINKLE PREVENT Feature (on some models)
The WRINKLE PREVENT 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 PREVENT automatically starts
at the end of the cycle. Opening the door will stop this
feature.
NOTE: A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE
PREVENT setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle
signal is also selected.

Setting the Drying Temperature
If your dryer has multiple heat settings:
A High Heavy temperature setting may be used for drying
heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.
A Low Delicate to Medium Casual temperature setting may be
used for drying medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses,
dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
Use the Air Fluff (no heat) 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.

USING YOUR DRYER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this dryer.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth
to remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Clean the lint screen
Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen out of
its holder. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or
wash screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen rmly back into
place.
For additional cleaning information, see “Dryer Care”.
2. Load the dryer
Place laundry in the dryer. Close the door.
NOTE: Your model may have a different door than the one shown.
Some models have drop down doors.
Do not tightly pack the dryer; clothes should be able to tumble
freely.

3. Select the desired cycle
Select the desired cycle for your load. See the Cycle Guide for
more information about each cycle.
SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY Cycles
You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load,
by turning the knob to dryness level.
Selecting Very or More Dry, Energy Preferred, or Less Dry
automatically adjusts the dryness level of the fabrics at which
the dryer will shut off.
SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY cycles give the best drying in
the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load
size, and dryness setting. Choose Energy Preferred for optimal
energy savings. Less Dry removes less moisture and is used for
loads you may want to put on a hanger to complete drying.
Very or More Dry removes more load moisture. Energy Preferred
is used for a starting point for SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY
cycles.
5. Select End of Cycle Signal (if desired)
Turn the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL knob to select the desired
setting (On or Off). The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible
sound when the drying cycle is nished. Promptly removing
clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.
6. Press PUSH TO START to begin cycle
Push and hold the PUSH TO START knob to begin the cycle.
4. Set temperature (on some models)
Select temperature by turning the knob to the desired position or
select the Automatic Dry Cycle that has the temperature included
in the cycle selections.
NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles.
TEMPERATURE / Fabric
Turn the TEMPERATURE / Fabric knob to change the drying
temperature setting. See “Setting the Drying Temperature”.
DRYING RACK

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the dryer location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block
the air 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. Apply a liquid, nonammable 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 qualied 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 ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove
lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n
Do 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.
n
If 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 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.
