IMPORTANT: When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door.

ACCESSORIES Enhance your new washer and dryer with the following genuine Whirlpool accessories. For more information on options and ordering, call 1-800-442-9991, or visit us at: www.whirlpool.com/accessories. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777 or visit us at www.whirlpoolparts.ca. 15" Pedestal Color-matched pedestals raise the washer and dryer to a more comfortable working height. The large drawer provides convenient storage. Stack Kit If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

Worksurface The worksurface bridges the washer and dryer, and provides a convenient working and storage area. CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW Maintain good air flow 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 flow. Good Better 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. 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 final product check. n Clear away items from in front of the dryer. Use Auto cycles for better fabric care and energy savings Use the Auto 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. Use the NORMAL DRY dryness level to 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. Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer n Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after the Steam Cycle. n Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes. n It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using a Steam Cycle. n The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to 12 dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments. n The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.

6. When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time

Remaining display shows the default time. You can change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or decreasing the cycle time.

NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint accumulated from items dried on the drying rack after the cycle is finished.

1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low

concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth.

2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.

3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum

se a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry. NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid transfer of dye.

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 or ventilation system cleaner. 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 door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen straight up. 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.

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 off 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 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.

NON-USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it. Non-Use or Storage Care Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
