CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent,
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use ametal foil vent,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
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.
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 flow by:
[] 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 flow.
[]
[]
[]
Bet
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 final product check.
Clear away items from the front the dryer.
USE AUTOMATIC DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER
FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During 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.

DRYER CARE
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum
1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable 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 qualified servicer.
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 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 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.
8

CLEANING THE LiNT SCREEN
2. Push the lint screen firmly 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 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.

VITRIFICATION D'UNE CIRCULATION D'AIR ADI_QUATE
POUR LE SYSTEME D'I_VACUATION
Risque d'incendie
Utiliser un conduit d'_vacuation en m_tal Iourd.
Ne pas utiliser un conduit d'_vacuation en plastique.
Ne pas utiliser un conduit d'_vacuation en feuille
de m_tal.
Le non=respect de ces instructions peut causer
un d_c_s ou un incendie.
Circulation d'air adequate
Une s6cheuse a besoin de chaleur et d'une circulation
d'air ad6quate pour s6cher efficacement le linge. Une
ventilation ad6quate r6duit les dur6es de s6chage et accroft
les 6conomies d'6nergie. Voir les Instructions d'installation.
Le syst_me d'6vacuation fix6 h la s6cheuse joue un r61e
important dans la circulation de I'air.
Les interventions de d6pannage caus6es par une ventilation
incorrecte ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie et seront
h la charge du client, quel que soit I'installateur de la
s6cheuse.
fMaintenir une bonne circulation d'air
en effectuant les operations suivantes :___
[] Nettoyer le filtre & charpie avant chaque charge.
[] Remplacer le mat6riau de conduits d 6vacuation en
plastique ou en aluminium par des conduits d 6vacuation
Iourds et rigides de 4 (102 mm) de diametre.
/
[] Toujours employer les conduits d'6vacuation les plus
courts possible, o
[] Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes h 90 dans un
circ_uiitId _lvacc_,as_irOncar chaque inclinaison at courbe
[] Retirer la charpie et les r6sidus du clapet d'6vacuation.
[] Retirer la charpie sur toute la Iongueur du circuit
d 6vacuation au moins tousles 2 ans. Apr_s le
nettoyage, veuillez suivre les instructions d installation
fou[,nies avec la s6cheuse pour une v6rification finale
de I appareil.
[] D6gager tout article qui se trouverait devant la s6cheuse.
fUTILISATION DES PROGRAMMES AUTOMATIQUES POUR UN MEILLEUR
SOIN DU TISSU ET DAVANTAGE D'ECONOMIES D'ENERGIE
Utiliser les programmes de s6chage automatique pour que la s6cheuse permette de r6aliser davantage d'6conomies d'6nergie
et d'apporter un soin sup6rieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes de s6chage automatique, la temp6rature de s6chage de
I'air et le niveau d'humidit6 sont d6tect6s dans la charge. Cette d6tection se produit tout au long du programme de s6chage et
la s6cheuse s'6teint Iorsque la charge atteint le degr6 de s6chage s61ectionn6. Le programme Energy Preferred (6conergique)
entraTnera des 6conomies d'6nergie optimales.
Avec I'option de s6chage minut6, la s6cheuse fonctionne pendant la dur6e r6gl6e, ce qui peut parfois entrafner le r6tr6cissement
ou le froissement du linge, et I'accumulation d'61ectricit6 statique due au s6chage excessif. Utiliser le s6chage minut6 pour une
charge encore humide n6cessitant un peu de temps suppl6mentaire ou Iorsqu'on utilise la grille de s6chage.

NETTOYER LE FILTRE A CHARPIE
Nettoyage avant chaque charge
Le filtre & charpie se trouve dans I'ouverture de la porte
de la s6cheuse. Un filtre obstru6 de charpie peut
augmenter la dur6e de s6chage.
Nettoyage •
1. Enlever le filtre _ charpie en le tirant tout droit vers le haut.
Enlever la charpie du filtre en la roulant avec les doigts. Ne
pas rincer ni laver le filtre pour enlever la charpie. La charpie
mouill6e s'enl_ve difficilement.
2. Remettre le filtre _.charpie fermement en place.
IMPORTANT :
[] Ne pas faire fonctionner la s6cheuse avec un filtre
charpie d6plac6, endommag6, bloqu6 ou manquant.
Ceci peut entrafner une surchauffe et endommager la
s6cheuse et les tissus.
[] Si de la charpie tombe dans la s6cheuse au moment du
retrait du filtre, v6rifier le conduit d'6vacuation et retirer
la charpie. Voir "Exigences concernant 1'6vacuation".
Nettoyage au besoin
Des r6sidus de d6tergent ou d'assouplisseur de tissu
peuvent s'accumuler sur le filtre & charpie. Cette
accumulation peut entraTner des temps de s6chage plus
longs, ou entraTner I'arr_t de la s6cheuse avant que la
charge ne soit completement s_che. Si de la charpie
tombe du filtre alors qu'il est dans la s6cheuse, il est
probablement obstru6.
Nettoyer le filtre a charpie avec une brosse de nylon tous
les six mois ou plus fr6quemment s'il se bouche en raison
d'une accumulation de r6sidus.
Nettoyage :
1. Enlever la charpie du filtre en la roulant avec les doigts.
2. Mouiller les deux c6t6s du filtre a charpie avec de I'eau
chaude.
3. Mouiller une brosse en nylon avec de I'eau chaude et
du d6tergent liquide. Frotter le filtre avec la brosse pour
enlever I'accumulation de r6sidus.
4. Rincer le filtre a I'eau chaude.
