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.

n The Custom Refresh Cycle (on some models) is best for

smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads

consisting of one to 9 dry items of wrinkle-free cotton,

cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic

garments.

time remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed.

Touch the setting names next to the display to adjust settings.

See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle.

Not all settings are available with all cycles.

Temperature

When using Timed Cycles or Custom Refresh, you may

select a dry temperature based on the type of load you are

drying. Use the warmest setting safe for the garments in

the load. Follow garment label instructions.

NOTE: Sensor Cycles use a preset temperature that is

not adjustable.

Dryness Level

You may adjust the Dryness Level on Sensor Cycles

(except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.

NOTE: Dryness Level is for use with Sensor Cycles only.

Wrinkle Prevent

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch

Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 120 minutes of periodic

tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On some cycles, you

may select the “With Steam” setting to add a short steam

cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.

Garments

This setting allows you to enter the number of items you

are placing in the dryer for the Custom Refresh cycle.

The number of items determines the cycle time.

OPTIONS

Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles

and options are available on all models.

Drum Light

Touch to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light

will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off

automatically after about 5 minutes.

Reduce Static

Touch to add the Reduce Static option to selected

Sensor cycles (see “Cycle Guide”). The dryer will

automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount

of moisture into the load to help reduce static. This option

adds approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time.

5Steam Boost

Steam Boost adds steam to the end of the Heavy Duty,

Bedding, Normal, or Garments cycle to help smooth

wrinkles. Steam Boost can be used with High or

Medium heat settings.

Damp Dry Signal

Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal. When selected, a

series of beeps will sound when the load is damp, but not

completely dry. This will allow you to take clothes out of

the load that do not need to dry completely. This option is

available on Heavy Duty, Normal, Bedding, and Delicates

cycles.

Cycle Signal

Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying

cycle on or off.

NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when

a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch and hold

Cycle Signal for about one second to turn sounds on

or off.

USING YOUR DRYER

1. Clean the lint screen

Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen straight

up. Roll lint off the screen with your ﬁngers. Do not rinse or wash

screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove. Push the lint

screen ﬁrmly back into place.

For additional cleaning information, see “Dryer Care.”

2. Load the dryer

Open the door by pulling on the handle. Place laundry in the dryer.

Add a dryer sheet to wet load, if desired. Close the door.

IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack the dryer. Items need to tumble

freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor drying performance and may

increase wrinkling and tangling.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this appliance.
