Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow

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 airflow

Along with heat, dryers require good airflow 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 airflow.

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.

Maintain good airflow by:

• Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
  Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4^ (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
- 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.
Clear away items from the front of 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. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Manual Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use Manual Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

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

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

To clean dryer drum

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 OR

Use 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 appliance 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. The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint screen after each load. 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.

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.

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.

Troubleshooting

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website at www.amana.com/help for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily or drying times are too long (cont.)	The load is too large and heavy to dry quickly.	Separate the load to tumble freely. Reduce load size to recommended load size in "Cycle Guide."
	Fabric softener sheets are blocking the grille.	The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen. Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet. Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
	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	doors 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 Automatic Cycles.		Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor.
		The automatic cycle is ending early. Change the dryness level setting on Automatic 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 Automatic Cycle settings to increase or decrease drying time."
Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.
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.		Remove load promptly from dryer at the end of the cycle. NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only garments are not recommended.
		The dryer was tightly packed.	Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary depending on fabric type.

If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
Odors Recent painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located.		Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Load too hot Load removed before cooldown portion of cycle complete.		Allow the dryer to complete the cooldown portion of the cycle before removing the load.
		Select an Automatic Cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid overdrying the load.
Dryer Displaying Code Message or Indicator Is Lit
"PF" (power failure) The drying cycle has been interrupted by a power failure.		Touch and hold START to restart the dryer. NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds.
"L2" Diagnostic Code (low or no line voltage condition)	There may be a problem with your home power supply, keeping the dryer's heater from turning on.	The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is present. Touch any pad to clear the code from the display and return to the estimated time remaining. NOTE: This error will only show during the initial installation. Try the following: Check to see if a household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Electric dryers use two household fuses or breakers. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Confirm that the power cord is properly installed. Refer to the Installation Instructions for details. Select a Manual Cycle (heated), and restart the dryer. If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.
"F# E#" (F1 E1, F3 E1, etc.) variable service codes	The dryer is in need of service. If a code beginning with an "F" appears in the display, alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has detected a problem that requires service. Call for service.
Check Vent indicator is lit	The lint screen or vent is clogged; the vent is crushed or kinked or has too many turns.	The dryer will continue to run when this indicator is lit. Try the following: • Clean lint screen. • Check to see if the vent run from the dryer to the wall is crushed or kinked. • Confirm that the vent run from the dryer to the wall is free of lint and debris. • Confirm that the exterior vent exhaust hood is free of lint and debris. • Confirm that your vent system falls within the recommended run length and number of elbows for the type of vent you are using. Refer to "Plan Vent System" in the Installaton Instructions for details. • Select a Manual Cycle (heated), and restart the dryer. • If the indicator remains lit, have your entire home venting run cleaned.
"Lc" The Control Lock is enabled. Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to unlock the controls of the dryer. During this time the LED Display will count down 3-2-1. When the Control Lock is disabled, the LED Display will clear.
