CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD 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.

Maintain good air flow by:

nCleaning your lint screen before each load.

nReplace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

nUse the shortest length of vent possible.

nUse no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air flow.

Good

Better

nRemove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

nRemove 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.

nClear 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

nResults 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.

nUse of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

nCycles 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.

nThe 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.

1POWER

Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time.

2CYCLE CONTROL KNOB

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.

3START/PAUSE

Touch and hold to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.

4TIMED DRY ADJUST

Use “+” and “–” with Timed Cycles to increase or decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Rapid Dry cycle.

5LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

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.

6OPTIONS

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.

7CYCLE 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.
