DRYER CARE

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block

the air  ow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing

piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

Cleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, non ammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until

stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

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 quali ed servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the dryer location

Changing the Sensing Cycle settings

to increase or decrease drying time

If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry

or more dry than you would like, you may change the default

settings to increase or decrease the default dryness level.

Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to

di erent installations, environmental conditions, or personal

preference. This change is retained and will a ect all of your

Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are

5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display:

0 Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time.

1 Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.

2 Factory preset dryness level.

3 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

4 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

To change the drying settings:

NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer

is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode

(power is o ) to adjust the default settings.

1. Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRY LEVEL

for 3 seconds.

2. Touch DRY LEVEL to select the dryness level shown in the

time display: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

3. Touch START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level setting.

Cleaning the dryer interior (cont.)

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum

Use a micro ber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to

clean the drum and a second micro ber towel to dry.

NOTE: Items that contain loose dyes, such as denim blue

jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer

interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will

not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out

to avoid drum staining.

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by

lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint o the screen

with your  ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove

lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen  rmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

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.

If lint falls o 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

o 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.
