• Be sure the exhaust hood at the outside of the home can open and close freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint build-up. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.

• Do not overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from the load.
• Clothes load too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.

cycle.
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation manual.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on the leveling legs.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum
and exhaust system.
• Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the
load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the “Very Dry” setting if
desired.

If one hea

the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected
dr
yness le
v
el. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
• Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with
the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls
it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside. When these odors are present in the air,
v
entilate the r
oom completely before using the dryer.
• The dryer has experienced a power failure. Press “OFF,” then restart the cycle.
