CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Good airflow
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently 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 airflow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce airflow 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.
Maintaining good airflow
nCleaning your lint screen before each load.
nReplace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
nUse the shortest length of vent possible.
nUse no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces airflow.
Good Better
nRemove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
nRemove 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 final product check.
nClear 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 reflected 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)
nResults may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after cycles that use steam.
nUse of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
nCycles 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.
nThe 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.

1POWER
Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time.
2WHAT TO DRY/HOW TO DRY
Once a “What to Dry” is selected, the dryer automatically selects the recommended or last-used “How to Dry” option, as well as the recommended/last-used modifiers. Both the “How to Dry” and modifiers can be changed if desired. See the “Cycle Guide” for details.
3START/PAUSE
Touch and hold until LED counts down “3-2-1” and the dryer starts; then let go to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.
4MODIFIERS
Use to select available modifiers for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
Temp
When using Timed Dry/Quick Cycle, you may select a dry temperature based on the type of load you are drying. Use the warmest setting that is safe for the
garments in the load. Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: Automatic Cycles will give you up to four temperatures to adjust, depending on the model and the “What to Dry” or “How to Dry” selections that have been made.
Dryness
You may adjust the Dryness on Automatic Cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.
NOTE: Dryness is for use with Automatic Cycles only.
More Time/Less Time Timed Dry Adjust
Touch MORE TIME or LESS TIME with the Timed Dry/ Quick cycle to increase or decrease the length of the cycle.
5OPTIONS
Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
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.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds to turn sounds to low, medium, high, or off.
