Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

Worksurface

The worksurface bridges the washer and dryer, and provides a convenient working and storage area.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Maintain good air ow by:

n

Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n

Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

n

Use the shortest length of vent possible.

n

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 Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good air ow.

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.

n

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

n

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.

n

Clear away items from the front the dryer.

Use Auto cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Auto Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic 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 DRY dryness level to provide optimal energy savings. 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.

Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

n

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 the Steam Cycle.

n

Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

n

It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using a Steam Cycle.

n

The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.

n

The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.

n

On some models, the Quick Refresh Cycle time is set for 15 minutes and is not adjustable. Under certain environmental or installation conditions, you may experience under drying with the Quick Refresh Cycle. Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle which can be customized to select High Temperature and/or additional cycle time by pressing the Timed Dry Adjust More Time button.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

USING THE DRYING RACK

To obtain a drying rack for your dryer, follow the instructions included in your dryer drum. Remove and discard any packing material before use.

Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack remains stationary.

The drying rack is intended for use with the Manual Dry/ Timed Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used with Automatic cycles.

Check Lint Screen The Check Lint Screen indicator will light when the drying

cycle is complete as a reminder to clean the lint screen.

Sensing The Sensing indicator will light during Eco Auto Cycles to

indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Manual Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Shield

™

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 removed.

Cool Down The dryer has nished drying with heat, and is now tumbling

the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.

Steam (on some models) This indicator will light when the Steam function is active. NOTE: Steam is not available on all models or on all cycles.

Static Reduce (on some models) This indicator will light when the Static Reduce function is

active.

NOTE: Static Reduce is not available on all models or on

all cycles.

To use the drying rack:

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen.

1. Open dryer door.

2. Align the two hooks on the front of the drying rack with

the holes in the dryer door opening and press down fully into holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back ledge.

Done This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the

load may be removed from the dryer. If the Wrinkle Shield option has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if the Done indicator is lit.

Wrinkle Shield This indicator will light if the Wrinkle Shield option has been

selected and is running. The dryer will continue to tumble the load for up to 150 minutes after the cycle has ended.

™

3. Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space

around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave adequate clearance between items and the inside of the dryer drum. Make sure items do not hang over the edges or between drying rack grille.

4. Close the door.

5. Select a Timed Dry/Air Only, or Low Temperature cycle.

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using the Air Only setting.

6. When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time

Remaining display shows the default time. You can change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or decreasing the cycle time.

7. Start the dryer. NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint

accumulated from items dried on the drying rack after the cycle is nished.
