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. 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 Airflow
� 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 airflow.
� 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 for final product check.
� Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
Nonuse, Storage, and Moving Care
Nonuse or Storage Care
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.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
3. Steam Models Only: Turn off the water supply to the dryer.
This helps to avoid flooding (due to a water pressure surge)
while you are away.
Moving Care
For power supply cord-connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet. Disconnect the
water inlet hose from faucet; then drain the hose. Transport
hose separately.
3. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
4. Use tape to secure dryer door.
5. On models with base trim, remove base trim before moving
dryer. See “Install and remove base trim (on some models)1”
for details.
For direct-wired dryers:
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
1. Turn off power at fuse or breaker box.
2. Disconnect wiring.
3. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet. Disconnect the
water inlet hose from faucet; then drain the hose. Transport
hose separately.
4. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
5. Use tape to secure dryer door.
