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

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

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 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. blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce air flow and dryer performance.

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. To clean or repair venting, contact a venting specialist.

Maintain good air flow by:

• Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
  Replacing plastic 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 sensing cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Sensing Cycles to get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensing 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 Timed Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying. Use Timed Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Cleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, 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 a damp cloth.

Cleaning the dryer interior (cont.)

1. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum OR

Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.

NOTE: Items 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 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 off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

1. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

• 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.
  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.

Cleaning the lint screen (cont.)

To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
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.

1. Rinse screen with hot water.
2. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen in dryer.

Vacation, storage, and moving care

Steam models only: 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, clothes are balling or tangling, or drying times are too long (cont.)	The load is too large and heavy to dry quickly.	Separate the load to tumble freely.
	The dryer is located in a room with temperature below 45°F (7°C).	Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F (7°C).
	The dryer is located in a closet. Closet	oors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.
Cycle time is too short The	load may not be contacting the sensor strips on Sensing Cycles.	Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor.
	Clothes are coming out of the Steam Refresh cycle with damp or wet spots.	If you are doing a Steam Refresh cycle of 1 or 2 items you can add a towel to the load to help avoid uneven spraying from the steam valve. Then select the appropriate time based on the load to be refreshed.
	The sensing cycle is ending early. Change	e the dryness level setting on Sensing Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early, see also "Changing the Sensing Cycle settings to increase or decrease drying time."
Lint on load Lint screen is dlogged with lint. Clean lint screen before		each load.
Stains on load Improper use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric sofener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with steam cycles.
Stains on drum Loose dyes in clothes. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer at the end of the cycle.		Select Steam Refresh cycle to tumble the load with water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics. NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only garments are not recommended.

Refer to the Installation Instructions for details. ·Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer. If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.
