WIDE VIEW LCD DISPLAY
LCD display is designed to easily access and read dry program.
DUAL SENSORTECHNOLOGY
It makes it possible to sense even less than a 1 kg load size. So regardless of load weight, more accurate sensing is ensured.
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry : Dryer electronically sense laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time based on the dryness of the load and the selected program.
At times, you can see sudden increase or decrease in operation time.
It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity within a certain period. Sudden change in operation time is not a malfunction.
Time Dry : You can manualy set drying time to complete drying. Use dry performance if clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.

Purge gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer; in order to prevent gas valve contamination.
Before tightening connection between gas supply and dryer, purge remaining air until odor of gas is identified.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks, instead use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid.
WARNING!
• Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.
• Install a shut-off valve.
• Securely tighten all gas connections.
. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed
13 in. water column.
• Examples of a qualified person include licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.
• Failure to do so can result in death explosion, or fire.

Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:
1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer and you should obtain the necessary venting materials locally.
For example, the outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers to prevent back-draft when the dryer is not in use.
2. The exhaust duct must be t_ur inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions.
The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.
3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended t_r use as transition ducting between the dryer and and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time.
4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
5. To maximize operating results, please observe the duct length limitations noted in the chart above.
21
Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance
22
Disconnect the dryerls electric power prior to any cleaning or maintenance:
1. After one year of use, the interior and complete exhaust system of the dryer should be examined and cleaned if necessary.
2. Before one year of use, when drying performance has become unsatisfactory, please examine and clean the exhaust duct for better drying performance.
3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure the dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
4. A qualified service person or company should be used to perform this maintenance.
5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost, can be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed in hard to reach places.
This Kit comes in two pieces, one of which is attached to the dryer and the other is attached to the wall exhaust outlet.
Following attachment of the two separate pieces to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may be returned to its final position, after which the two pieces themselves can be connected.
7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care.
Wipe the exterior of the dryer as required, and always wipe the exterior of the dryer in the event any detergent, bleach, or other washing products is spilled on the dryer.
8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as necessary.
Warning: spray pre-wash products may damage the finish of the control panel.
9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying each load or after drying each load.
10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may increase drying times.
11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to the vacuum duct. See item #2 above.
12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside the dryer control hood.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer, because wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your dryer.
Cleaning
the Lint Screen
1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load or after drying each load.
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may increase drying times.
.
To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll any lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
.
Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured before running the dryer.
Running
the dryer with a loose lint screen may cause overheating and damage to the dryer and articles being dried.
.
Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than others (towels for example), causing the Lint
Screen to rapidly fill.
Remove lint fi'om the lint screen before and after drying these articles, such as new towels.
.
In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust hood and remove any lint.
.
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying times.
The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off the screen.
In order to prevent this type of build up, and help ensure proper operation of your dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months or, if necessary, more frequently.
The lint filter can also be washed as follows: a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or warm water.
b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric softener.
c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen with hot water.
d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel, firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.
Following are instructions for starting and using your new dryer.
Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to person, read this entire manual, including the Important Safety lnstr.ctions, before operating this dryer.
