Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Auto Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated
cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness
level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the display shows
the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without h
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle
and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on
the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This
could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased
shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Auto or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the
“Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■ Drying temperature and Dryness are preset when you
choose an Auto Cycle. You can choose a different dryness
level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS
button to select MORE DRY or LESS DRY.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
you must press TIMING Up or Down. Adjust the
temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP
ADJUST until the desired temperature is selected.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A
screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean
1. P
ull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
3. W

lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace screen
in dryer.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT:
■ Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■ If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen
is in the dryer.
