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.
Energy Saver
Touch to activate the Energy Saver option, which allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. Energy Saver will increase drying time by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect this time.
Energy Saver will default on for Normal and is only available for that cycle. For optimal energy, turn on the Energy Saver option. For optimal time, turn off the Energy Saver option.
NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads.
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 and Rapid 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.

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 until the LED comes on 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
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.
6SETTINGS
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
Timed Cycles: 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.
Sensor Cycles: Sensor Cycles allow temperature adjustment. At most, 4 of available temperatures (not including Air Only) are allowed.
Dry Level
You may adjust the Dry Level on Sensor Cycles only (except for the Sanitize and Steam Refresh cycles), if desired.
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.
NOTE: If the Wrinkle Prevent option is selected, it is active even if the done indicator is lit. If you open the dryer door prior to the end of the Wrinkle Prevent option, the dryer will go into Pause mode. You will need to touch Power
to turn off or touch Start/Pause to continue the Wrinkle Prevent option. If the Wrinkle Prevent option is paused, it will discontinue after 5 minutes of inactivity and turn off.
Audio Level
Touch AUDIO LEVEL to move the volume of the end signal and button sounds between 5 different settings, including OFF.
7OPTIONS
Use to select available options for your dryer.
My Cycle
If you have a favorite cycle with custom settings that you use frequently, you can use the My Cycle feature to keep your preferred settings ready to use. To save the cycle, press and hold MY CYCLE (approximately 3 seconds) until a beep sounds and My Cycle LED is lit. Once a configuration has been saved, you may power on the machine and briefly press MY CYCLE to load your saved cycle and settings.
Energy Saver
Activate the ENERGY SAVER setting to increase your energy savings. This setting uses a lower heat level and extends cycle time. Turn on for optimal energy savings. Turn off for optimal cycle times. ENERGY SAVER is only available for the Normal cycle and will default on.
NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads.
Static Reduce
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 will repeat and adds approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time.
Steam Boost
Steam Boost adds steam to the end of the cycle to help smooth wrinkles. See “Cycle Guide.”
5
Damp Dry Signal
Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal to On 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 signal can also be used as a signal to rearrange the load when drying large bulky items that do not tumble well, such as comforters. This option is not available on Sanitize, Steam Refresh, and the Timed Dry cycles.
Drum Light
Select DRUM LIGHT to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. When touched during a cycle or when the dryer is not running, the Drum Light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is touched again, the door is opened and closed, a cycle is started, or the door is left open for 5 minutes.
Touch DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light on or off.
8CYCLE 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. The sensing indicator will light during timed cycles to show the dryer is functioning. It will not light during options like wrinkle prevent.
Check Vent
The Check Vent indicator will light if there is a blocked vent or low airflow.
Good Airflow
This indicator will light if there is no major vent blockage.
Steam
This indicator will light when a steam function is active.
NOTE: Steam is not available 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 turn on when the dryer is powered on as a reminder to clean the lint screen. It will stay on until the door is opened or a cycle is started. It will turn off when the dryer is turned off.
