CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

USE AUTO DRY CYCLES FOR

BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS

Use the Auto Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During 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 o 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.

Maintain good air ow by:

n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

n Using the shortest length of vent possible.

n Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air ow.

n Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

n 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 nal product check.

n Clearing away items from the front the dryer.

Good Air Flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to e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.

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

DRYER CYCLE KNOB

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.

Auto Dry

Auto Dry cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.

Drying time will vary based on fabric type, load size, and

dryness setting.

Air Only

Use the Air Only setting to dry foam, rubber, plastic,

or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Wrinkle Guard™ function (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 GUARD™ function periodically tumbles,

rearranges, and us the load without heat to help keep

wrinkles from forming, for up to 40 minutes at the end

of a cycle.

12Dry Temp (on some models)

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. See “Cycle Guide.”

Cycle Signal/PUSH TO START

time you dry a similar load.

CYCLE GUIDE – AUTO DRY CYCLES

Not all cycles and settings are available on all models. Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

AUTO DRY – Senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts o when the load reaches the selected dryness level.

Depending on model, temperature may be selected on cycle knob or be a separate control. Choose Normal to save energy.

CYCLE GUIDE – TIMED DRY CYCLES

Not all cycles and settings are available on all models.

TIMED DRY – Will run the dryer for the specied time on the control. Depending on model, temperature may be selected on cycle

knob or be a separate control.

Setting the Drying Temperature

If your dryer has multiple temp settings:

A High Cotton temp setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

A Low Delicates or Medium Casual temp setting may be used for drying medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses,

underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

Use a Air Only (no heat) setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

Signal is on, the tone will sound every 5minutes until the clothes

are removed, or the Wrinkle Guard™ function ends.

Appearance may vary.

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 o

the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash

screen to remove lint.

2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

n 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.

n If lint falls o the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See

“Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.

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

o 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 o 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: 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 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

Changing the drum light (on some models)

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.

2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the

back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips head screwdriver,

remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner

of the cover. Remove the cover.

3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with

a 10-watt appliance bulb only. Replace the cover

and secure with the screw.

4. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.

Vacation, storage, and moving care

Non-Use or Storage Care
