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.
Maintain good air flow by:
[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
[] Replace plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
[] Use the shortest length of vent possible.
[] Use no more than four 90 ° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
[]
[]
[]
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
Remove 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.
Clear away items from in front of the dryer.
Use Eco Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Eco Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Eco 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 dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Timed Dry Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying
rack.
