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.
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 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.
Good
Better
■
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 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 DRY dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Timed Cycles 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 (on some models)
!"
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.
!"
Use of dryer sheet is not recommended with Steam Cycles.
It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
!"
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.
!"
The Custom Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out
wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of
small numbers of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-
polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.
!"
The Auto Refresh 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.
