CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW

Maintaining good airow

■

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ow.

Good

Better

Good airow

Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See the Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good airow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce airow 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 nal product check.

■

Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

EcoBoost option

drying times by approximately 40 minutes, which will be reected on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch ECOBOOST to turn off this option.

Use automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Using automatic (not timed) cycles, the drying air temperature and moisture levels are sensed in the load. This sensing process occurs throughout the entire drying cycle and turns off once the load reaches your selected dryness level. Using the NORMAL dryness level provides the optimal energy savings.

When using Timed Dry/Quick Dry, the dryer runs for the amount of time you select, which could result 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 (on some models)

■

Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free nish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after cycles that use steam.

■

Use of 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 a cycle that uses 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 nger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your ngertip, not your ngernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch the appropriate button.

STEAM MODELS

POWER

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

WHAT TO DRY/HOW TO DRY

Once a “What to Dry” is selected, the dryer automatically selects the recommended or last-used “How to Dry” option, as well as the recommended/last-used modiers. Both the “How to Dry” and modiers can be changed if desired. See the “Cycle Guide” for details.

START/PAUSE

Touch and hold until LED counts down “3-2-1” and the dryer starts; then let go to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.

MODIFIERS

Use to select available modiers for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

Temp

When using Timed Dry/Quick Cycle, you may select a dry temperature based on the type of load you are drying. Use the warmest setting that is safe for the garments in the load. Follow garment label instructions.

NOTE: Automatic Cycles will give you up to four temperatures to adjust, depending on the model and the “What to Dry” or “How to Dry” selections that have been made.

Dryness

You may adjust the Dryness on Automatic Cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.

NOTE: Dryness is for use with Automatic Cycles only.

More Time/Less Time Timed Dry Adjust

Touch MORE TIME or LESS TIME with the Timed Dry/ Quick cycle to increase or decrease the length of the cycle.

OPTIONS

Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

Wrinkle Shield Option

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch WRINKLE SHIELD to add up to 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. You may select the “+ Steam” setting (on some models) to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.

NOTE: If you open the dryer door prior to the end of the Wrinkle Shield option, the dryer will go into standby.

Steam Refresh (steam models only)

This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from dry items. Cycle time will increase, depending on number of items. This is an independent cycle that cannot be combined with any other cycle.

Cycle Signal

Use this option to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying cycle to low, medium, high, or off. The volume you select here will also be applied to the Damp Dry Signal.

NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds to turn sounds to low, medium, high, or off.

3 6

Damp Dry Signal

Touch to turn the Damp Dry Signal 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 option is available on some cycles. The Damp Dry signal is selected as a default for the Bulky Items/Normal, Bulky Items/Wrinkle Control, and Bulky Items/Heavy Duty cycles, as a reminder to manually reposition bulky loads midway through the cycle.

Reduce Static (on some models)

Touch to add the Reduce Static option to selected Automatic cycles. 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.

Control Lock

Use this option 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 or DAMP DRY SIGNAL (depending on the model) 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 LED Display will display “Loc.”

NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK or DAMP DRY SIGNAL (depending on the model) for at least 3 seconds.

EcoBoost Option

The EcoBoost option will default on only for the Regular/Normal cycle and is only available on that cycle. This option allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. The EcoBoost option will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes, which will be reected on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch ECOBOOST to turn off this option.

Wet

The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.

Damp

This indicator shows that the load is partially dried and items that you may wish to hang up or iron while still damp may be removed.

Cool Down

The dryer has nished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down.

Check Vent

The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Automatic cycles only. This indicator will show the status of airow 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 airow 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. The Check Vent light will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless the root cause is resolved.

REMEMBER: The dryer will continue to operate even while the indicator is lit, but poor airow can impact dry times and overall performance. For more information on maintaining good airow, see “Check Your Vent System for Good Airow.”

NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will not light up. See the “Troubleshooting” section.

End

This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Shield has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if “End” is displayed.

Control Lock

This will illuminate once the controls are locked.

LED DISPLAY

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining (for Automatic Cycles) will vary depending on “What to Dry” and “How to Dry” selections, or actual time remaining for Timed Dry cycles (for Manual Cycles) will be displayed.

CYCLE STATUS INDICATORS

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 periodically 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 Shield.

CYCLE GUIDE

Your dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load. The “What to Dry” “How to Dry” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:

1. First determine what items are in the load that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your “What to Dry” selection.

2. Then determine how you want the dryer to dry them by selecting the appropriate “How to Dry” selection. Modiers are preset for the

items being dried, but can be changed if desired. To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Automatic cycles. These cycles measure the drying

air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. Dryer performance and results may vary with service voltage less than 240.
