Amana NED5800DW Manual

Check Your Vent System for 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.

n

Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n

Replace plastic or foil vent material  

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid  

vent material. 

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 airflow.

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.

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.
