CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW

Good airow

Maintaining good airow

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ow.

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.

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.

Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently

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 airow. Blocked or crushed vents as well

as improper venting installation will reduce airow 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.

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 reected on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch ECOBOOST

to turn off this option.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Timed Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used

with Automatic cycles.

To use the drying rack:

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen.

1. Open dryer door.

USING THE DRYING RACK (cont.)

2. Align the two hooks on the front of the drying rack

with the holes in the dryer door opening and press

down fully into holes. Rest the rear support on the

dryer back ledge.

3. Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space

around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does

not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave

adequate clearance between items and the inside of

the dryer drum. Make sure items do not hang over the

edges or between drying rack grille.

4. Close the door.

5. Select a Timed Dry/Air Only, or Low Temperature cycle.

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried

on a clothesline or by using the Air Only setting.

6. When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time

Remaining display shows the default time. You can

change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or

decreasing the cycle time.

7. Start the dryer.

NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint

accumulated from items dried on the drying rack

after the cycle is nished.

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 “Check Lint” 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. Roll lint off the screen

with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove

lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push rmly 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.

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 ngers.

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.

DRYER CARE

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would

block the airow 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

Use a microber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle

to clean the drum and a second microber 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

qualied appliance servicer or ventilation system cleaner.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under the

outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel

air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust

vent with heavy metal or exible metal vent. See the Installation

Instructions.

The exhaust vent is not the correct

length.

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too

many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.

See the Installation Instructions.

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Dryer Results (cont.)

Drying times are too

long and clothes are not

getting dry (cont.)

The dryer is not level. Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Automatic

cycles. See “Level Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.

The Air Only temperature setting has

been selected.

Select the correct temperature for the types of garments being

dried. See “Cycle Guide.”

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 Automatic Cycles.

Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer

feet should be in rm contact with the oor.

Steam models only: Clothes are

coming out of the Steam Refresh

cycle with damp or wet spots.

Under certain environmental or installation conditions, you may

experience underdrying.

The automatic cycle is ending early. Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles.

Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the

amount of drying time in a cycle.

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.

Steam models only: Select Steam Refresh cycle to tumble

the load with water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing

out wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads consisting of

wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits,

and synthetics.

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. Results may also vary

depending on fabric type.

Steam models only: For steam

cycles, the water is not properly

connected with the dryer.

Steam models only: 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.

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.
