CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Good air flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and
improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role
in good air flow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper
venting installation will reduce air flow 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.
Maintain good air flow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
Good
Better
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 air flow.
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 final product check.
n
Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
Energy Saver
Touch to activate the Energy Saver option, which allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. For
automatic cycles, Energy Saver will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect this time.
Energy Saver will default on for Normal. For optimal energy, turn on the Energy Saver option. For optimal time, turn off the Energy
Saver option.
NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads and cycles.
Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer
n
Results 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.
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 cycles that use steam.
n
The Steam Refresh cycle is best for reducing light wrinkles
from loads left in the dryer too long.
Use Sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Cycles, drying air
temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the
load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results 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.

DRYER CARE
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the
air flow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles
of laundry in front of the dryer.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum
1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with
a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
rear of 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.
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
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 appliance servicer or ventilation system cleaner.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.
The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean
the lint screen after each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen straight up and out. Press tab down on
front and open lint screen. 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.
IMPORTANT:
n
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.
n
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
n
Clean space where lint screen
is located, as needed. Using a
vacuum, gently remove any
lint that has accumulated
outside of the lint screen.
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
while the screen is in the dryer.
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.
Reinstall screen in dryer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long
The load is too large and heavy to dry
quickly.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking
the grille.
The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen.
Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet.
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
The dryer is located in a closet. Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom
of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 mm)
of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires
5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.
Cycle time is too short The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensor Cycles.
Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet
should be in firm contact with the floor.
Clothes are coming out of the Steam
Refresh cycle with damp or wet spots.
If you are doing a Steam Refresh cycle of 1 or 2 items you can add
a towel to the load to help avoid uneven spraying from the steam
valve. Then select the appropriate time based on the load to be
refreshed.
The Sensor Cycle is ending early. Change the dryness level setting on Sensor Cycles. Increasing
or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying
time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early, see also
“Changing the Sensor Cycle settings to increase or decrease drying
time.
Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load.
Stains on load Improper use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your
garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with steam cycles.
Stains on drum Loose dyes in clothes. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
Select Steam Refresh Cycle (on some models) to tumble the load
with water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from dry loads consisting of one to 9 dry items
of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and
synthetic garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only
garments are not recommended.
The dryer was tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. When using the Steam
Refresh cycle (on some models), adjust the garment number
based on the load size. Results may also vary depending on fabric
type. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads
consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common
knits, and synthetics.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water inlet
hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet valve.
Check that the water supply is turned on.
Odors Recent painting, staining, or varnishing
in the area where your dryer is located.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area,
rewash and dry the clothing.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water inlet
hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet valve.
Check that the water supply is turned on.
Odors are left in garments after
wearing.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Steam
Refresh (on some models). This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles
and odors from dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-
polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.
Steam did not occur
during Wrinkle Prevent
Wrinkle Prevent does not enable Steam
on all cycle/option combinations.
Refer to Cycle Guide to verify which cycles and settings enable
Steam.

CURITÉ DE LA SÉCHEUSE
IMPORTANT : Pour mettre l’ancienne sécheuse au rebut ou pour la remiser, enlever la porte.

RIFICATION D’UNE CIRCULATION D’AIR ADÉQUATE POUR LE
SYSTÈME D’ÉVACUATION
Circulation d’air adéquate
Une sécheuse a besoin de chaleur et d’une circulation d’air
adéquate pour sécher efficacement le linge. Une ventilation
adéquate réduit les durées de séchage et accroît les
économies d’énergie. Voir les Instructions d’installation.
Le système d’évacuation fixé à la sécheuse joue un rôle
important dans la circulation de l’air. Des conduits d’évacuation
bloqués ou écrasés, ainsi qu’une installation inadéquate de
l’évacuation diminuent la circulation d’air et les performances
de la sécheuse.
Les interventions de dépannage causées par une ventilation
incorrecte ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie et seront à
la charge du client, quel que soit l’installateur de la sécheuse.
Pour nettoyer ou réparer l’évacuation d’air, contacter un
technicien qualifié dans l’évacuation d’air.
Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air
en effectuant les opérations suivantes :
n
Nettoyer le filtre à charpie avant chaque
charge.
n
Remplacer le matériau de conduits
d’évacuation en plastique ou en aluminium
par des conduits d’évacuation lourds et
rigides de 4" (102 mm) de diamètre.
Bonne
Meilleur
n
Toujours employer les conduits d’évacuation les plus courts
possible.
n
Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes à 90° dans
un circuit d’évacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe
réduit le flux d’air.
n
Retirer la charpie et les résidus du clapet d’évacuation.
n
Retirer la charpie sur toute la longueur du circuit
d’évacuation au moins tous les 2 ans. Après le
nettoyage, veuillez suivre les instructions d’installation
fournies avec la sécheuse pour une vérification finale
de l’appareil.
n
Dégager tout article qui se trouverait devant la sécheuse.
Energy Saver (économie d’énergie)
Appuyer pour activer l’option Energy Saver (économie d’énergie), qui permet d’accroître vos économies d’énergie en utilisant un niveau
de chaleur légèrement plus faible. Pour les programmes automatiques, l’option Energy Saver ajoute environ 40 minutes à la durée de
séchage, qui est mise à jour sur l’affichage DEL.
L’option Energy Saver est activée par défaut pour le cycle Normal. Pour une consommation d’énergie optimale, activer l’option Energy
Saver. Pour une durée de séchage optimale, désactiver l’option Energy Saver.
REMARQUE : Les économies d’énergie peuvent varier selon les charges et les programmes.
Conseils pour obtenir la meilleure performance de votre sécheuse avec vapeur
n
Les résultats peuvent varier selon le tissu. Il est possible que
les vêtements 100 % coton avec fini infroissable donnent de
meilleurs résultats que les autres. Il est possible que les articles
100 % coton nécessitent un rafraîchissement supplémentaire
après le programme à vapeur.
n
L’emploi d’une feuille d’assouplissant de tissu n’est pas
recommandé avec les programmes à vapeur. Ceci pourrait
causer des tâches temporaires sur les vêtements.
n
L’utilisation de programmes à vapeur n’est pas recommandée
pour des articles amidonnés. Laver les articles amidonnés ou
neufs avant d’utiliser un programme avec vapeur.
n
Le programme Steam Refresh (rafraîchissement vapeur) est
idéal pour la réduction des faux-plis dans les charges laissées
dans la sécheuse pendant trop longtemps.
Utiliser les programmes de détection pour un meilleur soin du tissu et davantage
d’économies d’énergie
Utiliser les programmes de détection pour que la sécheuse permette de réaliser davantage d’économies d’énergie et d’apporter un soin
supérieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes de détection, la température de séchage de l’air et le niveau d’humidité sont détectés dans
la charge. Cette détection se produit tout au long du programme de séchage et la sécheuse s’éteint lorsque la charge atteint le degré
de séchage sélectionné. Utiliser le niveau de séchage NORMAL (normal) pour pouvoir réaliser un maximum d’économies d’énergie.
Avec l’option de séchage minuté, la sécheuse fonctionne pendant la durée réglée, ce qui peut parfois entraîner le rétrécissement ou le
froissement du linge, et l’accumulation d’électricité statique due au séchage excessif. Utiliser le séchage minuté pour une charge encore
humide nécessitant un peu de temps supplémentaire ou lorsqu’on utilise la grille de séchage.
