Check Your Vent System for Good Airow
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.
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:
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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
Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic 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 Manual Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Manual Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a
dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping
the cycle.
Automatic Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.
Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and
dryness setting. Drying time is estimated and may change
throughout the cycle. Drying time can not be changed on
Automatic Cycles.
NOTE: Automatic cycles use a preset temperature that is not
adjustable.
Manual Cycles:
When you select a Manual Cycle, the default
time appears in the display. Touch +and –
to increase or decrease the time in 1-minute
increments. Touch and hold to change the
time in 5-minute increments.

number and the purchase date. Remove and discard
any packing material before use.
Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to
tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you
use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack
remains stationary.
The drying rack is intended for use with the Manual Dry/
Time 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.
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 Time 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.
