Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently
dry laundry. Proper venting wJlJ 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.
Maintain good air flow by:
[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
[] Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy_ rigid vent material.
[]
[]
Using the shortest length of vent possible.
Using no more than four 90 ° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air flow.

Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
Removing 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.
Clearing away items from the front of the dryer.
Use Auto Dry Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Auto Dry Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Auto Dry 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. Choose Normal to save energy.
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.
