CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW

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.
Use Sensor Dry cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Sensor Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor 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. The Energy Preferred cycle will provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and 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.

USING LESS WATER AND ENERGY

This washer is designed to use less water and energy, and complies
with all 2011 energy standards. Wash cycles with controlled
temperatures are designed to maintain cleaning performance while
using less water and energy compared to older traditional washers.
As a result, water levels will be lower, and hot and warm wash
temperatures may not be as warm as you are used to.
