The Check Vent alert is a feature available for Automatic cycles only. This alert 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 if it detects a blocked vent or low pressure it will display “Check vent. Clean lint screen or vent for better performance.”

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. Modifiers 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 rated voltage (Electric, 240 V; Gas, 120 V).
