Check Your Vent System for Good Airow
Good airow
Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently 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 airow.
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 airow 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.
Good
Better
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 airow.
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 nal 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 Manual Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Manual Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.
