PREVENT FIRE

???Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

???Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

???Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materi- als such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

???Do not use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials.

???Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, and lint screen housing should be cleaned ap- proximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.

???Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, dam- aged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur.

???Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer.

???Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.

???Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

???Do not continue to use the dryer is you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

???Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.

4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PROTECT CHILDREN

???Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

???Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materi- als after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

???Keep laundry products out of children???s reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.

???Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.

???Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

PREVENT INJURY

???To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a quali- fied service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer???s reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed ground- ing procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.

6Operating Instructions

Normal Operating Sounds

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new dryer:

A.SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period, creating a temporary flat spot on the edge of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and the flat spots smooth out.

B.AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling system. In some installations there may be some sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer. This is normal and can vary with load size and type.

CAUTION

Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

IMPORTANT

If installed in a closet the dryer will not function correctly with the door in the closed position. This condensation process requires access to cool air from the room. The unit must only be operated with the door in the open position to allow correct air circulation.

(Mesh bag not included.)

Operating Instructions 7

Operating Your Dryer

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.

1Prepare load for drying.

???Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.

???Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.

???Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Drying may permanently set some stains.

???Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.

??? Be sure buckles, but-

tons and trim are heatproof

and won???t damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro??-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

2Check that the lint filter is clean and in place and water container is empty. See also Care and Cleaning section.

CAUTION

Do not operate dryer without lint filter in place.

3Load the dryer and close the door.

???Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.

???Fabric softener sheets are not recommended with this condensing dryer.

???To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.

???When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized items.

???For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action.

4Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.

NOTE

Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness and a build up of static electricity.

???Press the Power button to turn on the unit.

???Select a desired cycle by pressing its icon.

???The estimated cycle time, drying temperature, dryness level and options will be indicated for the cycle selected. See the ???Dryer Settings Chart??? for more details.

???To change the settings, press the Temperature or dry- ness icons to scroll to the desired settings.

???To select or delete an option, press the icon for that option. The indicator will be illuminated when the option has been selected. The indicator will no longer be lighted when the option has been deleted.

NOTE

To provide the best care for your laundry, not every setting or option is available with every cycle. If a setting or option is not available for the cycle selected, the indicator will not light.

5Start the dryer.

???Close the door and press Start. The dryer will not oper- ate with the door open. ???Check the door??? will be displayed as a reminder to close the door.

???Select delay start to delay the beginning of the cycle, if desired.

???To add a forgotten item to the dryer drum, press Pause and open the door. ???PAUSE??? will be displayed alternately with the estimated remaining cycle time. Opening the door with a cycle running will also pause the cycle. Add the item, close the door and press Start to resume the cycle.

???If changes to the settings or options are attempted after the cycle starts, you will hear several beeps when the buttons are pressed. To change the settings or options, press Pause, make the new selections and press Start again.

???To change the cycle once the cycle has begun, press the Power button to cancel the current cycle, press the Power button to turn on unit again, select a new cycle, and press Start again. Just pressing another cycle icon will not change the cycle.

???To stop the cycle, press the Power button.

???A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime option has been selected.

NOTE

If drying a single large or bulky item remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it ???inside out??? to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item back in dryer and re-start cycle.

Start/Pause

This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown above for reference only. Your model may differ.

Cycle Selection

Press the Power button to turn on the unit. Press the icon for the cycle desired and the indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.

To change the cycle once the cycle has begun, press the Power button to cancel the current cycle, press the Power button to turn on unit again, select a new cycle, and press Start again. Just pressing another cycle icon will not change the cycle.

For best results

Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried.

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the front of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level. Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.

When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle.

Room temperature, and electrical voltage can also affect drying time.
