Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow
Maintain good airflow by:
n Cleaning your lint screen before each load. n Replace plastic or foil vent material
with 4″ (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

n Use the shortest length of vent possible. n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces airflow.

Good airflow
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow 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 airflow. Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid for by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer.

n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood. n 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. n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use Automatic Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Automatic 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 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 (on some models)

n Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after cycles that use steam.
n Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

n Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using a cycle that uses steam.
n The Steam Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetics.

Dryer Care
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean: 1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen
with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum 1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth. 2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel. 3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum OR Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry. NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid transfer of dye.
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified appliance servicer. From the Exhaust Vent Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT: n Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,
damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics. n If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions. As needed cleaning Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup. To wash: 1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. 2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water. 3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water. 5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.

13

NON-USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.
Non-Use or Storage Care Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should: 1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power. 2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.” 3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to
avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
Moving Care For power supply cord-connected dryers: 1. Unplug the power supply cord. 2. Gas models only: Close shut-off valve in gas supply line. 3. Gas models only: Disconnect gas supply line pipe and
remove fittings attached to dryer pipe. 4. Gas models only: Cap the open gas supply line. 5. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet. 6. Disconnect the water inlet hose from faucet, then drain

with Steam cycle selected (depending on model) on dryer is

(on some models)

running.

Thumping noise Rattling or vibrating noise

Dryer hasn’t been used in a while. A small object caught between the edges of dryer drum.

The water pump or water inlet valve on the dryer is used during the Steam function. If the dryer has just been installed or unused for an extended period, the pump or valve may be louder and run longer. This is normal. NOTE: The valve may make this noise even with no water line connected. This is due to temporary flat spots on the drum rollers. The thumping sound will diminish after a few minutes.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.

Dryer isn’t properly leveled.

Clothing is balled up in dryer.

Clicking noise Loud humming or increased noise during cycle

Gas valve operating. Load is packed tightly or exhaust vent is blocked.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor. When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer. On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens and closes. This is normal. Reduce load size to recommended load size in “Cycle Guide.” Run the dryer for 5­10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement or air movement is minimal, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation Instructions.

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips on Automatic Cycles. Steam models only: Clothes are coming out of the Steam Refresh cycle with damp or wet spots. The automatic cycle is ending early.

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1″ (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5″ (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions. Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor. Under certain environmental or installation conditions, you may experience underdrying.
Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early, see also “Changing the Automatic Cycle settings to increase or decrease drying time.”

Lint on load

Lint screen is clogged with lint.

Clean lint screen before each load.

Stains on load Stains on drum

Improper use of fabric softener. Loose dyes in clothes.

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with steam cycles. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

The load was not removed from dryer at the end of the cycle.
The dryer was tightly packed. Steam models only: For steam cycles, the water is not properly connected with the dryer.

Steam models only: Select Steam Refresh Cycle to tumble the load with water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics. NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only garments are not recommended. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary depending on fabric type.
Steam models only: Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.

Vérification d’une circulation d’air adéquate pour le système d’évacuation

Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air en effectuant les opérations suivantes :
n Nettoyer le filtre à charpie avant chaque charge.
n Remplacer le matériau de conduits d’évacuation en plastique ou en aluminium par des conduits d’évacuation lourds et rigides de 4″ (102 mm) de diamètre.

n Toujours employer les conduits d’évacuation les plus courts possible.
n Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes à 90° dans un circuit d’évacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe réduit le flux d’air.

Bonne

Meilleur

Circulation d’air adéquate
Une sécheuse a besoin de chaleur et d’une circulation d’air adéquate pour sécher efficacement le linge. Une ventilation adéquate réduit les durées de séchage et accroît les économies d’énergie. Voir les Instructions d’installation. Le système d’évacuation fixé à la sécheuse joue un rôle important dans la circulation de l’air. Les interventions de dépannage causées par une ventilation incorrecte ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie et seront à la charge du client, quel que soit l’installateur de la sécheuse.

n Retirer la charpie et les résidus du clapet d’évacuation. n Retirer la charpie sur toute la longueur du circuit
d’évacuation au moins tous les 2 ans. Après le nettoyage, veuillez suivre les instructions d’installation fournies avec la sécheuse pour une vérification finale de l’appareil. n Dégager tout article qui se trouverait devant la sécheuse.

Utiliser les programmes automatiques pour un meilleur soin du tissu et davantage d’économies d’énergie
Utiliser les programmes automatiques pour que la sécheuse permette de réaliser davantage d’économies d’énergie et d’apporter un soin supérieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes automatiques, la température de séchage de l’air et le niveau d’humidité sont détectés dans la charge. Cette détection se produit tout au long du programme de séchage et la sécheuse s’éteint lorsque la charge atteint le degré de séchage sélectionné. Utiliser le niveau de séchage NORMAL (normal) pour pouvoir réaliser un maximum d’économies d’énergie. Avec l’option de séchage minuté, la sécheuse fonctionne pendant la durée réglée, ce qui peut parfois entraîner le rétrécissement ou le froissement du linge, et l’accumulation d’électricité statique due au séchage excessif. Utiliser le séchage minuté pour une charge encore humide nécessitant un peu de temps supplémentaire ou lorsqu’on utilise la grille de séchage.

Conseils pour obtenir la meilleure performance de votre sécheuse avec vapeur
(sur certains modèles)

n Les résultats peuvent varier selon le tissu. Il est possible que les vêtements 100 % coton avec fini infroissable donnent de meilleurs résultats que les autres. Il est possible que les articles 100 % coton nécessitent un rafraîchissement supplémentaire après le programme à vapeur.
n L’emploi d’une feuille d’assouplissant de tissu n’est pas recommandé avec les programmes à vapeur. Ceci pourrait causer des tâches temporaires sur les vêtements.

n L’utilisation de programmes à vapeur n’est pas recommandée pour des articles amidonnés. Laver les articles amidonnés ou neufs avant d’utiliser un programme avec vapeur.
n Le programme Steam Refresh (rafraîchissement avec vapeur) est idéal pour aplanir les faux-plis et réduire les odeurs des charges composées d’un ou quatre articles en coton infroissable, en mélange de coton et polyester, de tricots ordinaires et de vêtements synthétiques.
