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.
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 flow by:
nCleaning your lint screen before each load.
nReplace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
4"
(102 mm)
nUse the shortest length of vent possible.
nUse no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air flow.
Good Better
nRemove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
nRemove 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.
nClear away items from in front of the dryer.
Use Automatic cycles for Better Fabric Care and Energy Savings
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. The dryer will default to Normal Dryness Level to save energy.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
