15" Pedestal

Color-matched pedestals raise the washer and

dryer to a more comfortable working height.

The large drawer provides convenient storage.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the

dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

Worksurface

The worksurface bridges the washer

and dryer, and provides a convenient

working and storage area.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

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.

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.

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 air ﬂow.

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 Sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor 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 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.

Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

n Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton

garments with wrinkle-free ﬁnish may yield better results than

those without. 100% cotton items may require additional

touching up after cycles that use steam.

n Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles

that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

n Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that

have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior

to using cycles that use steam.

n The Refresh Cycle is best for reducing light wrinkles from loads

left in the dryer too long.
