CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Maintaining good airow
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 airow.
Good
Better
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
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 of the dryer.
EcoBoost™ option
The EcoBoost™ option will default on only for the Regular/Normal cycle and is only available on that cycle.
This option allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. The EcoBoost™ option will increase
drying times by approximately 40 minutes, which will be reected on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch ECOBOOST
to turn off this option.
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 could result 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 (on some models)
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 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.

Wrinkle Shield™ Option
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately,
touch WRINKLE SHIELD™ to add up to 150 minutes
of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. You
may select the “+ Steam” setting (on some models)
to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help
smooth out wrinkles.
NOTE: If you open the dryer door prior to the end
of the Wrinkle Shield™ option, the dryer will go into
standby.
Steam Refresh (steam models only)
This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors
from dry items. Cycle time will increase, depending
on number of items. This is an independent cycle that
cannot be combined with any other cycle.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to turn the signal indicating the end
of a drying cycle to low, medium, high, or off. The
volume you select here will also be applied to the
Damp Dry Signal.

and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds to turn
sounds to low, medium, high, or off.
