CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or re.
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 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. 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.

you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to
avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may
need ironing.

cycle is nished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the
cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press END SIGNAL until the desired volume (High or Low)
is selected.
NOTE: When the Wrinkle Prevent setting is selected and the
End Signal is on, the tone will sound every 20 minutes until
the clothes are removed, or the Wrinkle Prevent setting ends.

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 door opening of the dryer.
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 ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint.
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.
