CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Good airow
Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently 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ow.
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ow:
■ Clean your lint screen before each load.
■ Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■
4"
(102 mm)
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
■ Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces airow.
■ 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 nal product check.
■ Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
Good Better
Use Automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic
Dry cycles, drying air temperature or 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.
With Timed Drying, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
overdrying. Use Timed Drying for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time.
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.
