DRYER SAFETY

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Good air ow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently

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 ow.

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 ow by:

Good Better

USE SENSOR DRY/AUTOMATIC DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE

AND ENERGY SAVINGS

Use the SENSOR DRY/Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During

SENSOR DRY/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 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.

n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

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 ow.

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 nal product check.

n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

“Assistance or Service” on the back cover of the manual or

contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

Part Number Accessory

3406839 Drying rack - ts 29" Super Capacity Plus

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 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 off 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:

n 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.

n If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting

Requirements.”

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 off

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.

To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.

Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue

buildup.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall

screen in 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.

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

NOTE: Garments 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.

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.
