Check Your Vent System For Good Air Flow

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 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.

By answering these questions, you can achieve the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer. Using these 

automatic cycles, the drying air temperature and moisture levels are sensed in the load. This sensing process occurs throughout 

the entire drying cycle and turns off once the load reaches your selected dryness level. Using the NORMAL dryness level provides 

the optimal energy savings.  
If Timed Dry is your answer, the dryer runs for the amount of time you select, which 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. 

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 a cycle that uses steam.

n

The Steam Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles 

and reducing odors from loads consisting of dry items of 

wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, 

and synthetics.

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.

Touch to activate the EcoBoost™ option, which allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. 

For automatic cycles the EcoBoost™ option will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect 

this time.
The EcoBoost™ option will default on for Normal. For optimal energy turn on the EcoBoost™ option. For optimal time turn off
