CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
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.
n
n
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.
Good

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.
n
n
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.
n
Clear away items from in front of 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
n
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 the Steam Cycle.
The Auto Refresh cycle is best for reducing light wrinkles in
small to medium-sized loads of dry garments. For the Auto
Refresh cycle, dry time automatically adjusts as the load
size is sensed. Cycle run time cannot be manually adjusted.
n
n
n
Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with
Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
The Custom Refresh cycle (on some models) is best
for reducing wrinkles and odors in dry garments. For
the Custom Refresh cycle, cycle times change depending
on the number of garments you select to be refreshed.
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.

cycles on your dryer. Turn the knob to select a cycle
for your laundry load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed
descriptions of cycles.
When using Timed Cycles or Auto Refresh, you may
select a dry temperature based on the type of load
you are drying. Use the warmest setting safe for the
garments in the load. Follow garment label instructions.

actual time remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed.
Use these buttons to select available options for your
dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all
models.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the display to adjust
settings. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each
cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.
Wrinkle Prevent™/Wrinkle Prevent™ with Steam
(on some models)
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately,
press Wrinkle Prevent™ to add up to 150 minutes of
periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On models
with Wrinkle Prevent™ with Steam, a short steam cycle
is added after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.
Drum Light
Press to turn the drum light on or off. The light will
also turn on when the door is open, and turn off
automatically after about 5 minutes.
Damp Dry Signal
When selected, a signal will sound during the drying
cycle when the load is damp but not completely dry.
This will allow you to take clothes out of the load that
do not need to dry completely. This option is available
on Heavy Duty, Normal, Denim, Bulky, Wrinkle
Control, Sheets, Active Wear, Towels and Delicate
cycles.
Steam model shown
Airflow
NOTE: The Damp Dry signal defaults to “ON” when
using the Bulky cycle.
This indicator will show the status of airflow through
the dryer during Sensor cycles. The Detecting light comes
on during the sensing phase at the beginning of cycle.
The Good light will come on if no major vent blockage is
detected. The Check Vent light will come on if a blocked
vent or low airflow issue is detected. For more information
on maintaining good airflow, see “Check Your Vent System
for Good Airflow”. The Airflow sensing feature is available
for Sensor cycles only.
Cycle Signal
Use this button to turn the signal indicating the
end of a drying cycle on or off, or to adjust the
volume of the signal.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound
when a button is pressed. Press and hold the Cycle
Signal button for about three seconds to turn button
sounds on or off.
NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the
Airflow indicator will not light up. See “Dryer Displaying
Code Message” in “Troubleshooting”section.
Reduce Static (on some models)
Press to add the Reduce Static option to selected
Sensor cycles (see Cycle Guide). The dryer will
automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small
amount of moisture into the load to help reduce static.
This option adds approximately 8 minutes to the total
cycle time.
Steam (on some models)
This indicator will light when the Steam function is active.
NOTE: Steam options are not available on all models
or on all cycles.
Done
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and
the load may be removed from the dryer. If the Wrinkle
Prevent option has been selected, the dryer may continue
to tumble the load, even if the DONE indicator is lit.
Steam Boost (on some models)
Steam Boost adds steam to the end of the Heavy Duty,
Bulky, Normal, Sheets, Towels, or Denim cycle to help
smooth wrinkles.
Check Lint Screen
The Check Lint Screen indicator will light when the drying
cycle is complete as a reminder to clean the lint screen.
Wrinkle Prevent™
This indicator will light if the Wrinkle Prevent™ option
has been selected and is running. The dryer will continue
to periodically tumble the load for up to 150 minutes
(depending on model and selected settings) after the
cycle has ended.
