CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Maintain good airflow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replacing plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
n
Using the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system.
Each bend and curve reduces airflow.
Good
Better
Good airflow
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow 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 airflow.
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
Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
Removing 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.
n
Clearing away items from the front of the dryer.
Use Sensor Cycles for optimal fabric care and energy savings
Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the optimal 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. You can also use the Extra Power option with Sensor Cycles for harder-to-dry or mixed loads.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying.
Use Timed Dry 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 finish may yield better results than
those without. 100% cotton items may require additional
touching up after cycles that use steam.
n
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles
that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
n
Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments
prior to using cycles that use steam.
n The Steam Refresh cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from loads consisting of dry items of
wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits,
and synthetics.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
DRYER CARE
USING THE DRYING RACK
To purchase a drying rack for your dryer, see “Accessories” for
more information. You will need your model and serial number
and the purchase date. 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 cycle
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

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the
airfl 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 microfi ber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microfi ber 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 cycle. Items containing foam, rubber,
or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using the
Air Only setting or AirDry cycle, depending on model.
6. When the cycle is selected, the 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 fi nished.

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 qualifi ed appliance servicer.
From the exhaust vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
Page 13
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
AS NEEDED CLEANING
Every-load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.
Clean the lint screen before each load. 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 fi ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint.
Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen fi 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” in the Installation Instructions.
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 fi 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.

Page 14
NON-USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your
dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather,
winterize it.
Non-Use or Storage Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be
on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of
time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid
unintended fl ooding (due to a water pressure surge) while
you are away.
Moving Care
For power supply cord-connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Gas models only: Close shut-off valve in gas supply line.
3. Gas models only: Disconnect gas supply line pipe and
remove fi ttings attached to dryer pipe.
4. Gas models only: Cap the open gas supply line.
5. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet.
6. Disconnect the water inlet hose from faucet, then drain the
hose. Transport hose separately.
7. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
8. Use tape to secure dryer door.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR STEAM MODELS
Water Inlet Hose
