F TIME AND STATUS DISPLAY
The display shows the estimated time remaining for
auto cycles and actual time for timed cycles. The
status of the cycle is also displayed. The CHECK
VENT indicator will illuminate if there is a serious
restriction in the exhaust system.

the MORE TIME button to increase the selected
manual cycle time by one minute; press LESS TIME
to decrease the cycle time by one minute.
H CHECK VENT INDICATOR
(DUCT BLOCKAGE SENSING SYSTEM)
The CHECK VENT duct blockage sensing system
detects and alerts you to blockages in the ductwork
that reduce exhaust flow from the dryer. This light
does not indicate any problems with your dryer.
If this light blinks, it indicates that your home's
exhaust system has a serious restriction, which is not
covered by your dryer's warranty. There are services
available for cleaning/maintaining the external
venting. Sears provides this service via Sears Carpet,
Upholstery, and Duct Cleaning. Call 1-800-661-6594
to schedule duct cleaning service from Sears (if it is
available in your area).
I STEAM REFRESH CYCLE
The STEAM REFRESH cycle uses the power of steam
to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics.
It also refreshes wrinkled clothes that have been
stored for an extended period of time, and it can
make heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron. STEAM
REFRESH can also be used to help reduce odors in
fabrics.
