Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow Maintain good airflow: n Clean 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 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 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 airflow. 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 of the dryer. Use Automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic 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 Drying, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying. Use Timed Drying for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack. 5
