Check Your Vent System for Good Airow
Good air ow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently
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. 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.
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.
GoodBetter
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 in front of the dryer.
Use Eco Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Eco Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Eco 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 dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Timed Dry Cycles 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 Enhanced Touch Up cycle is best for reducing odors
and light wrinkles in small to medium-sized loads of dry
garments. For the Enhanced Touch Up cycle, dry time
automatically adjusts as load size is sensed. Cycle run
time cannot be manually adjusted.
n
The Quick Refresh (on some models) cycle is best for
reducing wrinkles and odors in dry garments, including
loads left in the dryer. For, Quick Refresh time is selectable
in ve minute increments based on the load to be refreshed.

Dryer Care
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would
block the air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes
clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum
1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with
a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may
discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are
not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads
of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid
transfer of dye.
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From inside the dryer cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done
by a qualied appliance servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.
The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to
clean the lint screen after each load. A screen blocked
by lint will increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen
with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove
lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n
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.
n
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See
“Venting Requirements”.
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.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with
hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush
to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
