CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
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.
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.
Good Better
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 the dryer.
Good Air Flow
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.
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. 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.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or re.

CONTROL PANEL & FEATURES
POWER BUTTON
Press to turn the dryer on and off.
DRYER CYCLE KNOB
Use your Dry Cycle Knob to select available cycles on your
dryer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
Timed Dry
Will run the dryer for the specied time on the control.
On models with a selectable temperature knob, you may
choose a setting based on the fabrics in your load. Drying
time and temperature will depend on your dryer model.
ACCUDRY™ Control
Senses moisture in the load and air temperature and shuts
off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Gives
the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time will vary
based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start a cycle, or press once while a cycle is in
process to pause it.
OPTIONS AND SETTINGS
Temp
Select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your
load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a
load, select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.
NOTE: The Air Dry Temp Feature is not available on the
Automatic Cycles.
Wrinkle Shield™ Feature
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the
1

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.
n Get up to 60 or 150 minutes for models with two
choices, 90 minutes for models with only one choice of
heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Press
the WRINKLE SHIELD™ button to turn ON or OFF at any
time before the cycle has ended.
Cycle Signal
The Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
drying cycle is nished. Promptly removing clothes at the
end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft,
or None) is selected.
NOTE: When the Wrinkle Shield™ setting is selected
and the Cycle Signal is on, the tone will sound every
20 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the Wrinkle
Shield™ setting ends.
DAMP DRY SIGNAL (for use with Automatic
Cycles only)
Selecting the Damp Dry Signal will alert you when your
clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful when
you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to
avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may
need ironing.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
Lights indicate the progress of the drying cycles.
