CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Maintain good airflow by:
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
Replacing plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
Using the shortest length of vent possible.
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.
Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
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.
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)
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.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles
that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
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.
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.

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 fingertip, not your fingernail. When
selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed.
See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle.
Not all settings are available with all cycles.
More Time/Less Time
Touch MORE TIME or LESS TIME with Timed Cycles
to increase or decrease the length of a Timed Dry
or Quick Dry cycle.
Temp
When using any cycle except Sanitize, 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.
Dryness
When using Sensor Cycles (except for the Sanitize
cycle), you may select a Dryness level based on the
type of load you are drying.
NOTE: Dryness is for use with Sensor Cycles only.

OPTIONS
5
Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles
and options are available on all models.
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 steam
models, on some cycles, you may select the “+Steam”
setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes
to help smooth out wrinkles.
Reduce Static (steam models only)
Touch to add the Reduce Static 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 3 minutes to the total cycle time.
Steam (steam models only)
Steam adds steam to the end of certain Sensor Cycles
to help smooth wrinkles. It is not available on Sanitize,
Delicates, Steam Refresh, or Timed Cycles (Timed Dry,
Quick Dry). Steam can be used with High or Medium heat
settings. This option adds approximately 15 minutes to
the total cycle time.
Cycle Signal
Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying
cycle on or off. Touch CYCLE SIGNAL to turn sounds
on or off.
Control Lock
Use to lock the controls of the dryer and avoid
an accidental change in cycle options or preferences
during a drying cycle. Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK
for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the controls of the dryer.
During this time, the LED Display will count down “3-2-1.”
Once the controls are locked, the Control Lock icon
will illuminate.
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when
recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control,
touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds.
Extra Power
The Extra Power option can be used with both Sensor
and Timed Dry Cycles. Press the Cycle Control Knob
to activate the Extra Power option, which provides an
additional 10 minutes of cycle time (including additional
heat and tumbling, where applicable). When Extra Power
is activated, the Cycle Control Knob will illuminate and
the estimated time remaining on the display will show an
additional 10 minutes.
CYCLE STATUS INDICATORS
6
:
Sensing
Cool Down
Check Vent
Appearance may vary.
The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle.
Not all indicators are available on all models.
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.
Wet
The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.
Damp
The load still has moisture remaining, a good point
in the cycle to remove a garment to air dry or iron.
Cool Down
The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling
the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.
Check Vent
The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Sensor
Cycles only. This indicator will show the status of airflow
through the dryer and the dryer vent system for the dryer’s
life. During the sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle,
the Check Vent light will come on if a blocked vent or low
airflow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire
cycle. Should the Check Vent light illuminate, refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section for potential solutions to the issue.
The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching
Power, or opening the door. It will continue to illuminate during
the cycle unless the root cause is resolved.
NOTE: The dryer will continue to operate even while the
indicator is lit, but poor airflow can impact dry times and overall
performance. For more information on maintaining good airflow,
see “Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow.” If there are
other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will
not light up. See the “Troubleshooting” section.
Wet
Damp
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 “End” is showing in the display.
Control Lock
This will illuminate when the controls are locked.
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when
recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch
and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds.
