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.
[] Repiacing piasfic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
[]
[] Using the shortest length of vent possible.
Using no more than four 90 ° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
[] Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
[] Removing 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.
[] Clearing away items from the front the dryer.
USE AUTO MOISTURE SENSINGTM/AUTO DRY CYCLES FOR
BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Auto Moisture SensingTM!Auto Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer.
During Auto Moisture SensingTM!Auto Dry 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. Choose Normal cycle to
save energy.
With Time Cycle, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying.
Use Time Cycle for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
fCleaning the dryer interior
To clean dryer drum
1. Apply aliquid, 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 adamp cloth.
3. Tumble aload 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 cleanlng
The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked

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 cleanlng
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 6months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
