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.
Use Automatic Dry 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 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. With Timed Drying, the dryer runs the amount of time set
and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use Timed Drying for the occasional damp load
that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.
