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 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. Use the NORMAL DRY dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Timed Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.
Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer (on some models)
n
Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton
garments with wrinkle-free nish may yield better results
than those without. 100% cotton items may require
additional touching up after the Steam Cycle.
n
Use of dryer sheet is not recommended with Steam Cycles.
It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
n
It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments
prior to using a Steam Cycle.
n
The Custom Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out
wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of
small numbers of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cottonpolyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.
n
The Auto Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
from clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. For
best results, do not overload the dryer.

5. Adjust cycle settings, if desired
Steam model shown
You may adjust different settings, depending on whether
you have selected a Sensor Cycle, Timed Cycle, or Steam
Cycle (on some models). See the “Cycle Guide” for detailed
information.
NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles.
Not all cycles are on all models.
Sensor Cycles:
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 Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.
Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and
dryness setting.
Timed Cycles:
When you select a Timed Cycle, the
default time appears in the display.
Use the More Time and Less Time
buttons to increase or decrease the time
in 1 minute increments. Press and hold to
change the time in 5 minute increments.
The default temperature may be changed
by pressing the Temp Level button until the desired dry
temperature is lit.
Steam Cycles (on some models):
Steam cycles add an extra boost of steam to help reduce
odors and loosen wrinkles.
Custom Refresh: Use to reduce odors and light wrinkles from
small loads of 3-4 items.
Auto Refresh: Use to reduce wrinkles, including from loads left
in the dryer too long.
7. Remove garments promptly
after cycle is nished
Steam model shown
Promptly remove garments after cycle
has completed to reduce wrinkling. If
you will be unable to remove the load

DRYER CARE
USING THE DRYING RACK
To obtain a drying rack for your dryer, follow the instructions
included in your dryer drum. Remove and discard any
packing material before use.
Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to
tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you
use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack
remains stationary.
The drying rack is intended for use with the Timed Dry
cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used with
Sensor cycles.
To use the drying rack:
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen.
1. Open dryer door.
2. Align the two hooks on the front of the drying rack with
the holes in the dryer door opening and press down fully
into holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back ledge.
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. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with
a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may
discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are
not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads
of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid
transfer of dye.
3. Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space
around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does
not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave
adequate clearance between items and the inside of
the dryer drum. Make sure items do not hang over the
edges or between drying rack grille.
4. Close the door.
5. Select a Timed Dry/Air Dry, or Low Temperature cycle.
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using the Air Dry setting.
6. When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time
Remaining display shows the default time. You can
change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or
decreasing the cycle time.
7. Start the dryer.
NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint
accumulated from items dried on the drying rack
after the cycle is nished.
