CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Maintain good air flow 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 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. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper
venting installation will reduce air flow and dryer performance.
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. To clean or repair venting, contact a
venting specialist.
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 final product check.
n
Clear away items from the front of 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 dryness level to 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.
Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer
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 fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles
that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
4
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 reducing light wrinkles
from loads left in the dryer too long.
CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered,
touch the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.
1
POWER
Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel
a cycle at any time.
CYCLE CONTROL KNOB
2
Use your dryer’s cycle control 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.
3
START/PAUSE
Touch and hold to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle
is in process to pause it.
4
TIMED DRY ADJUST
Use “+” and “–” with Timed Cycles to increase or
decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Rapid Dry cycle.
LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
5
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and
the Estimated Time Remaining (for Sensor Cycles) or actual
time remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed.
Touch the setting names next to the display to adjust settings.
See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all
settings are available with all cycles.
Temperature
When using Timed Cycles, you may select a dry
temperature based on the type of load you are drying.
Use the warmest setting safe for the garments in the load.
Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: Sensor Cycles allow temperature adjustment. At
most, 3 of available temperatures (not including Air Only)
are allowed.
Dry Level
You may adjust the Dry Level on Sensor Cycles (except
for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.
NOTE: Dryness level is for use with Sensor Cycles only.
Wrinkle Prevent
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch
WRINKLE PREVENT to add up to 150 minutes of periodic
tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On some cycles, you
may select the “With Steam” setting to add a short steam
cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.

OPTIONS
Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles
and options are available on all models.
Static Reduce (on some models)
Touch to add the Static Reduce option to selected Sensor
cycles (see “Cycle Guide”). The dryer will automatically
tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture
into the load to help reduce static. This option adds
approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time.
Damp Dry Signal
Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal to Low, High, or Off.
When selected, a series of beeps will sound when the
load is damp but not completely dry. This will allow you
to take clothes out of the load that do not need to
dry completely. This option is not available on Sanitize,
Steam Refresh, and the Timed Dry cycles.
Audio Level
Touch AUDIO LEVEL to change end beep and button
sounds simultaneously to Low, High, or Off.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
The indicator bar on the right side of the control will let you
know what stage of the drying cycle is in process. For more
information on each stage, see “Cycle Status Indicators.”
Sensing
The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to
indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating.
This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options
such as Wrinkle Prevent.
Steam
This indicator will light when a steam function is active.
NOTE: Steam is not available on all models or
on all cycles.
Done
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended
and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle
Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to
tumble the load, even if the Done indicator is lit.
Check Lint Screen
The Check Lint Screen indicator light will flash as a
reminder to clean the lint screen. It will flash until the door
is opened or a cycle is started. It will turn off when the
dryer is turned off.
