CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Maintain good airow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replacing plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
n
Using the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces airow.

Good airow
Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times
and improve your energy savings. See the Installation
Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big
role in good airow. Blocked or crushed vents as well
as improper venting installation will reduce airow 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.
n
Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
Removing 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
Clearing away items from the front of the dryer.

Use automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Using automatic (not timed) cycles, the drying air temperature and moisture levels are sensed in the load. This sensing process
occurs throughout the entire drying cycle and turns off once the load reaches your selected dryness level. Using the Normal
dryness level provides the optimal energy savings.
When using Timed Dry/Quick Dry, the dryer runs for the amount of time you select, which can result in shrinkage, wrinkling,
and static due to overdrying. 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 cycles that use steam.
n
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with
cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining
on clothes.
n
Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments
prior to using a cycle that uses steam.
n
The Steam Refresh cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from loads consisting of dry items of
wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits,
and synthetics.

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. Modiers 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 240.
How do you want to dry?
For best fabric care, choose the cycle that
best ts the load being dried.
