CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Maintain good air flow by:
■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
■ Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■ Use the shortest length of vent possible.
■ 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.
■ Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■ 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.
■ Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
USE SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER
FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Sensor Dry/Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During
Sensor Dry/Automatic Dry cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level is sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout
the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
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.

Not all features and options are available on all models.
1
TEMPERATURE/FABRIC
Select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your load.
If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select
the lower setting rather than the higher setting.
2
CYCLE KNOB
Use Cycle 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.
TIMED DRY
Will run the dryer for the specified time on the control.
On models with a selectable temperature knob, you may
choose a setting based on the fabrics in your load. On
some models, temperature is included in the cycle
selections. Drying time and temperature will depend on
your dryer model.
SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY
Senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts
off when the load reaches the selected dryness level.
Gives the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time
will vary based on fabric type, load size, and temperature
setting.

WRINKLE CONTROL option (on some models)
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the
dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE
CONTROL option periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs
the load to help keep wrinkles from forming.
■ Get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at

PUSH TO START/END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end
of the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Turn the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL knob to select the desired
setting (On or Off). Press the PUSH TO START knob to start
the dryer.

WRINKLE CONTROL Feature (on some models)
The WRINKLE CONTROL feature will run after your drying
cycle is complete. It periodically starts and stops the dryer,
tumbling the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.
On some models, WRINKLE CONTROL automatically
starts at the end of the cycle. Opening the door will stop
this feature.
NOTE: A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE
CONTROL setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle
signal is also selected.

to select OFF or 90 min. at any time before the cycle has
ended.
