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:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
Good
Better
n
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
n
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
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.
n
Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
Energy Saver
Touch to activate the Energy Saver option, which allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. Energy
Saver will increase drying time by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect this time.
Energy Saver will default on for Normal and is only available for that cycle. For optimal energy, turn on the Energy Saver option. For
optimal time, turn off the Energy Saver option.
NOTE:
Energy savings may vary across loads.
Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer
n
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 cycles that use steam.
n
Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles
that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
n
Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior
to using cycles that use steam.
n
The Steam Refresh cycle is best for reducing light wrinkles
from loads left in the dryer too long.
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 and Rapid 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.
