CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
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.
- Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
- Use the shortest length of vent possible.
- Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air flow.
- 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 Sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
- Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor 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 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.
CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.
- POWER
- Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time.
2. CYCLE CONTROL KNOB
- Use your dryer’s cycle control knob to select available cycles on your dryer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
3. START/PAUSE
- Touch and hold to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.
4. TIMED DRY ADJUST
- Use “+” and “–” with Timed Cycles to increase or decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Rapid Dry cycle.
5. LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
- When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining (for Sensor Cycles) or actual time remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed.
- Touch the setting names next to the display to adjust settings. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.
- Temperature: When using Timed Cycles, you may select a dry temperature based on the type of load you are drying. Use the warmest setting safe for the garments in the load. Follow garment label instructions.
- NOTE: Sensor Cycles allow temperature adjustment. At most, 3 of available temperatures (not including Air Only) are allowed.
- Dry Level: You may adjust the Dry Level on Sensor Cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired. NOTE: Dryness level is for use with Sensor Cycles only.
- Wrinkle Prevent: If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch Wrinkle Prevent to add either 60 or 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling.
6. OPTIONS
- Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
- Drum Light
- Select DRUM LIGHT to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. When touched during a cycle, or when the dryer is not running, the Drum Light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is touched again, the door is opened and closed, a cycle is started, or the door is left open for 5 minutes.
- Touch DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light on or off.
- Damp Dry Signal
- Touch to set the Damp Dry Signal to ON or OFF. When selected, a series of beeps will sound when the load is damp but not completely dry. This will allow you to remove clothes that do not need to dry completely. This signal can also be used as a signal to rearrange the load when drying bulky items that do not tumble well, such as comforters. This option is not available on Sanitize or the Timed cycles.
- Audio Level
- Touch AUDIO LEVEL to change end beep and button sounds simultaneously to Low, High, or Off.
7. CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
The indicator bar on the right side of the control will let you know what stage of the drying cycle is in process.
- Sensing: The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent.
- Damp: This indicator shows that the load is partially dried and items that you may wish to hang up or iron while still damp may be removed.
- Cool Down: The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.
- Done: This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if the Done indicator is lit.
- Check Lint Screen: The Check Lint Screen indicator light will flash as a reminder to clean the lint screen. It will flash until the door is opened or a cycle is started. It will turn off when the dryer is turned off.
CYCLE GUIDE
SENSOR CYCLES
Senses moisture in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. The dry temperature shown is the default temperature. This setting can be modified on some cycles but is not retained for future drying with this cycle. The dryness level shown is the default dryness setting. This setting can be changed on some cycles and will be retained for future drying with this cycle. Available options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.
Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
- To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Sensing cycles. These cycles measure the drying air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. For electric models, dryer performance and results may vary with service voltage less than 240.
* Extended high-heat drying cycle intended to help sanitize items such as sheets and towels. This cycle is not recommended for all fabrics. For best results, this cycle should be run to completion to ensure sanitization and do not interrupt cycle.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle.
Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more than 1/4 full.
