CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Good air ow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times
and improve your energy savings. See “Installation Instruc-
tions.”
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in
good air ow.
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.
Maintain good air ow by:
Good Better
USE SENSOR DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE
AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the SENSOR DRY cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During SENSOR DRY
cycles, drying air temperature or 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. The Energy Preferred cycle will 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.
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 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.

DRYER CARE
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 lint screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by
lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. 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 the lint screen 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.”
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.
Cleaning the dryer interior
To clean dryer drum
1. Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the
stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until
stain is removed.
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and
will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside
out to avoid drum staining.
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
qualied servicer.

VÉRIFICATION D’UNE CIRCULATION D’AIR ADÉQUATE POUR
LE SYSTÈME D’ÉVACUATION
Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air
en effectuant les opérations suivantes :
n
Nettoyer le ltre 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.
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 ux 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 vérication nale
de l’appareil.
n
Dégager tout article qui se trouverait devant la sécheuse.
Circulation d’air adéquate
Une sécheuse a besoin de chaleur et d’une circulation
d’air adéquate pour sécher efcacement 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 xé à la sécheuse joue un rôle
important dans la circulation de l’air.
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.
UTILISATION DES PROGRAMMES DE SÉCHAGE
PAR DÉTECTION POUR UN MEILLEUR SOIN DU
TISSU ET DAVANTAGE D’ÉCONOMIES D’ÉNERGIE
Utiliser les programmes de séchage par détection permet à la sécheuse de réaliser davantage d’économies d’énergie et
d’apporter un soin supérieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes de séchage automatique/de séchage par 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. Le programme
Energy Preferred (éconergique) entraînera des économies d’énergie optimales.
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.

Réglage de la température de séchage
Si la sécheuse comporte plusieurs réglages de chaleur :
On peut utiliser un réglage High (chaleur élevée) pour sécher
les articles lourds tels que les serviettes et les vêtements de
travail.
Un réglage de chaleur Low Delicate (délicat) à Medium
Casual (tout-aller) peut être utilisé pour sécher les articles
moyennement lourds tels que draps, chemisiers, robes,
sous-vêtements, tissus à pressage permanent et certains
tricots.
Utiliser le réglage Air Fluff (duvetage à l’air [sans chaleur]) pour
la mousse, le caoutchouc, le plastique ou les tissus sensibles à
la chaleur.
Sécher sur une corde à linge les tissus doublés ou
multicouches.
REMARQUE : Pour toute question concernant les
températures de séchage pour diverses charges, consulter les
instructions sur l’étiquette de soin.
UTILISATION DE LA SÉCHEUSE

PROGRAMMES DE SÉCHAGE PAR DÉTECTION
Selon votre charge, vous pouvez sélectionner un degré de
séchage différent en tournant le bouton sur le degré de
séchage.
Lorsqu’on sélectionne More Dry (plus sec), Energy Preferred
(éconergique) ou Less Dry (moins sec), le degré de séchage
qui commandera l’arrêt de la sécheuse est automatiquement
ajusté.
Les programmes de séchage par détection offrent un séchage
idéal en un minimum de temps. La durée de séchage varie en
fonction du type de tissu, de la taille de la charge et du réglage
de niveau de séchage. Sélectionner le programme Energy
Preferred (éconergique) pour réaliser des économies d’énergie
optimales. Le séchage Less Dry (moins sec) élimine moins
d’humidité et est utilisé pour les charges que l’on souhaite
placer sur un cintre pour qu’elles nissent de sécher.
Le séchage More Dry (plus sec) élimine davantage d’humidité
dans la charge. Energy Preferred (éconergique) est utilisé
comme point de départ dans les programmes DE SÉCHAGE
PAR DÉTECTION.
5. Sélectionner le signal de n
de programme (si désiré)
Tourner le bouton SIGNAL (signal) pour sélectionner le
réglage désiré (Off [arrêt], Low [bas] ou High [élevé]). Le signal
de n de programme est un signal sonore qui retentit lorsque
le programme de séchage est terminé. Sortir rapidement les
vêtements à la n du programme réduit le froissement.
