CHECKINCYOURVEHC

Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and

shorten drying times. Install your dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always

above 45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions

for more information.

2. Use a 4” exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase

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 fire.

If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it

will not be covered under the warranty.

NOTE:

Service calls caused by improper venting

will be paid for by the customer, whether it was

paid installation or self-installed. For paid installa-

tion, call the company that installed the vent for

adjustment.

Four-inch heavy metal or flexible metal vent must

- be used.

Do not

use

plastic vent or flexible

metal foil vent. Do not

kink or crush flexible

The following pages describe the drying cycles

on your dryer. The descriptions include suggested

temperature settings and drying times for various

loads.

Cycleandtemperaturetips

0 Make sure you have selected the correct cycle

and temperature for your load.

0 Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred

Automatic Setting (*).

0 Use the Fluff Air cycle, or line dry rubber, plastic,

delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics.

0 If some types of loads in the cycle descriptions

on the following pages have more than one

suggested temperature setting, choose the

lowest setting available on your dryer.

0 The last few minutes of all cycles are without

heat to make the load cooler to handle.

Dryingtips

0 Always follow care label directions when they are

available.

If you use fabric softener sheets, always use

softener sheets that are labeled as dryer safe and

follow package instructions carefully.

0 Remove the load from the dryer as soon as

tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is

especially important for permanent press, knits,

and synthetic fabrics.

:YClIDESCRlPllONS

Automaticcycle(s)

Use an Automatic cvcle to dry most loads.

Depending on your

model, the Automatic

cycle uses either an

electronic or automatic

DRY-MISER@ control

that senses the mois-

ture in the load and

shuts off the dryer

when the selected

dryness is reached.

L The Cycle Control Knob

does not move until the load is almost dry. After the

cool-down, the Knob automatically turns to an Off

area and tumbling stops.

0 If the load is drier than you like, select a setting

closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a

similar load.

0 If the load is not as dry as you like, complete

drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting closer

Very

Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

Drying time with an Automatic cycle varies accord-

ing to the type of fabric, size of load, and dryness

setting. Your model may not have all heat settings

listed. Some general guidelines are:

0 Use a high heat setting for drying heavyweight

items, such as towels and work clothes.

0 Use a medium heat setting for drying medium-

weight items, such as sheets, underwear,

permanent press clothes, and some knits.

0 Use a low heat setting for drying lightweight

items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses, and

some knits.

NOTE: If you have any questions about drying

temperatures for various loads, refer to care label

directions.

Timedcycle(s)

Use a Timed drying cycle to complete drying if some

items are damp after the

Automatic cycle. A Timed

drying cycle is also

useful for:

0 Heavyweight and bulky

items, such as bed

spreads and work

clothes, and large loads

that require a long drying

time. Set your dryer for

High heat.

0 Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and

knits that require a short drying time. Set your dryer

for Low heat.

0 Drying time and temperature will depend on your

dryer model.

FluffAircycle

(onsomemotlels)

Use the unheated Fluff Air cycle for items that require

drying without heat.

Thechartonpage12

includes examples of

items that require air

drying.

NOTE:

If your model

does not have the Fluff

Air cycle, line dry heat-

sensitive items.

HeavyDrycycle

(onsomemodels)

Use the Heavv Drv cycle to drv large items or items

that are thicker or

heavier than a regular

load (such as heavy

cotton bath towels

or robes.) Set your

Cycle Control Knob to

Heavy Dry and your

Temperature selector to

High heat.
