Wash cycles with controlled temperatures are designed to maintain cleaning performance while using less water and energy compared to older traditional washers. As a result, water levels will be lower, and hot and warm wash temperatures may not be as warm as you are used to. Traditional washer Reduced water washer CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW Maintain good air flow 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. 4" (102 mm) 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. 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 air flow. Good Better 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 the dryer. Use Sensor Dry cycles for better fabric care and energy savings Use the Sensor Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Dry cycles, drying air temperature or 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. The Energy Preferred cycle will 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. 4
