Dryer Safety

Check Your Vent System for Good Air Flow

Good air ow

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 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.

Maintain good air ow by:

Good Better

Use ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry Cycles for Better

Fabric Care and Energy Savings

Use the ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles to get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During

ACCUDRY™/Automatic 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.

■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

■ Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

■

Use the shortest length of vent possible.

■ Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air ow.

■ Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

■ 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.

■ Clear away items from the front the dryer.

Control Panel & Features

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature (on some models)

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the

dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE

SHIELD™ feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and uffs

the load to help keep wrinkles from forming.

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:

■

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.

■

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, nonammable 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: Items 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 qualied servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

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

depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the dryer location

Non-Use, Storage, and Moving Care

Non-Use or Storage Care

Troubleshooting cont.

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Cycle time too short ACCUDRY™ or Automatic Dry cycle

ending early.

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the

dryer.

Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level

setting on ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles.

Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change the

amount of drying time in a cycle.

Lint on load Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum Dryer fabric softener not properly

used.

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain

your items.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled Load not removed from dryer at the

end of the cycle.

Select Wrinkle Shield™ feature to tumble the load without heat

to avoid wrinkling.

Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely and reduce formation of

wrinkles.

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 You have recently been painting,

staining, or varnishing in the area

where your dryer is located.

If so, 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.

The electric dryer is being used for

the rst time.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor

will be gone after the rst cycle.

Load is too hot Laundry items were removed from

the dryer before the end of the cycle.

Allow Cool Down cycle to nish before removing laundry from

dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make

it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel

very warm.

A high temperature cycle was used

or a separate temperature control

was set to high.

Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.

These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the

load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.

This reduces overdrying.

Sécurité de la sécheuse

Vérication d’une circulation d’air adéquate pour le système

d’évacuation

Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air

en effectuant les opérations suivantes :

■ Nettoyer le ltre à charpie avant chaque charge.

■ 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.

■

Toujours employer les conduits d’évacuation les plus

courts possible.

■

Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes à 90° dans un

circuit d’évacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe

réduit le ux d’air.

■ Retirer la charpie et les résidus du clapet d’évacuation.

■ 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 vérication nale

de l’appareil.

■ 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 efcacement 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. 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 qualié dans l’évacuation d’air.

Utilisation des programmes de séchage automatique/ACCUDRY™

pour un meilleur soin du tissu et davantage d’économies d’énergie

Utiliser les programmes de séchage automatique/ACCUDRY™ pour que la sécheuse puisse réaliser davantage d’économies

d’énergie et apporter un soin supérieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes de séchage automatique/ACCUDRY™, 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

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 de chaleur High (élevée) pour

sécher les articles lourds tels que les serviettes et les

vêtements de travail.

Un réglage de chaleur Ex Low (extra basse) ou Low (basse)

à Medium (moyenne) peut être utilisé pour sécher les articles

moyennement lourds tels que draps, chemisiers, robes, sous-

vêtements, tissus à pressage permanent et certains tricots.

Utiliser un réglage Air Dry (séchage à l’air) ou Fluff Air (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.

REMARQUE : Si les charges ne semblent pas aussi sèches que désiré, sélectionner More Dry (plus sec) ou Very Dry (très sec)

la prochaine fois que l’on sèche une charge semblable. Si les charges semblent plus sèches que désiré, sélectionner Less Dry

(moins sec) la prochaine fois que l’on sèche une charge semblable.
