Check Your Vent System For Good Air Flow - Whirlpool Duet Steam WED94HEX Use And Care Manual

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 Auto cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Auto 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. Use the NORMAL DRY dryness level to 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.
Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer
Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton
n
garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results
than those without. 100% cotton items may require
additional touching up after the Steam Cycle.
Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with
n
Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that
n
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments
prior to using a Steam Cycle.
The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
n
and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four
dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend,
common knits, and synthetic garments.
Maintain good air flow by:
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material
n
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
n
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
Good
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system
n
at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be
sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with
your dryer for final product check.
Clear away items from the front the dryer.
n
The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out
n
wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too
long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.
On some models, the Quick Refresh Cycle time is set for 15
n
minutes and is not adjustable. Under certain environmental
or installation conditions, you may experience under drying
with the Quick Refresh Cycle. Select Enhanced Touch Up
Cycle which can be customized to select High Temperature
and/or additional cycle time by pressing the Timed Dry
Adjust More Time button.
