CHECKING YOUR VENT Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more information. 3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or straight out the back of the dryer. Space requirements are listed in your Installation Instructions.
WASHER USE Understanding Washer Cycles When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down. During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action (on some models) that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
■ Starting Your Washer To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space (see step 4). 2. Close the washer lid. 3. Turn the WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed. Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil.
■ Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive recommended by manufacturer. ■ After the 20-minute Soak cycle ends, add detergent and start a new cycle. ■ The 4-minute Pre-Wash time features high-speed agitation to loosen stains. Once the Pre-Wash period ends, add detergent and start a new cycle. Selecting a Cycle and Time This section describes the available wash cycles and will help you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads.
DRYER USE 2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (*) to dry most heavyweight and medium weight loads. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.” Starting Your Dryer Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).
Timed Dry Cycle Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load. Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle. Drying tips ■ Follow care label directions when they are available. ■ If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled as dryer safe. Follow package instructions. ■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops, to reduce wrinkling.
WASHER/DRYER CARE Cleaning Your Washer 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 fingers. 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. Cleaning the exterior Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach.
Vacation, Storage, and Moving Care TROUBLESHOOTING WASHER Install and store your washer/dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer/dryer. If storing or moving your washer/dryer during freezing weather, winterize it. Non-use or vacation care Operate your washer/dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer/dryer for an extended period of time, you should: ■ Unplug washer/dryer or disconnect power.
■ Is there excessive sudsing? Always measure detergent. Follow manufacturer’s directions. If you have very soft water, you might need to use less detergent. ■ Is your voltage low? Check your electrical source or call an electrician. Do not use an extension cord. ■ Agitator operation ■ Washer continues to fill or drain, or the cycle seems stuck ■ Is the top of drain hose lower than the water level in washer? The top of the hose must be higher than the water level in the washer for proper operation.
Load is wrinkled ■ Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Use the Permanent Press cycle or another cycle with low spin speeds (if available) to reduce wrinkling. ■ Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as soon as it stops. ■ Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely during washing. ■ Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles? If safe for the load, use warm wash water.
■ Is the load too big or too heavy? Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen. ■ Was the load overdried? Use correct dryer settings for load type. Overdrying can cause lint-attracting static electricity. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.” ■ Was paper or tissue left in pockets? ■ Is pilling being mistaken for lint? Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and laundering. ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE Before calling for assistance or service, please check “Troubleshooting.
