drying performance
• Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help to achieve the best drying performance.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from
the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge
of the dryer.

for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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. Pull 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.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
19
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."
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 the screen.
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 fingers.
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. Replace screen
in dryer.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue
jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor 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.
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 qualified person.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage.

Select the right temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See "Additional Features."
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Cycle time too short
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Is the automatic cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Change the dryness level setting on Auto Cycles. Increasing
or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of
drying time in a cycle.
Do not use a dryer rack with an Auto Cycle.
Lint on load
• Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Stains on load or drum
• Was dryer fabric softener properly used?
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can
stain your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
• Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
• Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that can
tumble freely.
Odors
• Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in
the area where your dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

II vous faudra
• Un emplacement permettant une evacuation appropriee. Une
secheuse au gaz dolt _tre evacuee a I'exterieur. Voir
"Exigences concernant I'evacuation'.
• Une prise electrique avec liaison a la terre situee a moins de
2 pi (61 cm) de I'un des c6tes de la secheuse. Voir

Un plancher robuste capable de soutenir le poids total de la
secheuse de 127 Ib (57,6 kg). II faut aussi prendre en compte
le poids combine d'un appareil menager voisin et des
piedestaux.
Un plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de
1" (2,5 cm) sous I'ensemble de la secheuse. (Si la pente est
superieure & 1" [2,5 cm], installer I'ensemble de pieds longs
n° de piece 279810.) Si la secheuse n'est pas d'aplomb, le
linge peut ne pas culbuter convenablement et les
programmes commandes par des detecteurs automatiques
peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement.
Pour I'installation dans un garage, vous devez placer la
secheuse a au moins 18" (46 cm) au-dessus du sol. En cas
d'utilisation d'un piedestal, il faudra 18" (46 cm) jusqu'au fond
