An entire selection of user-friendly functions make operating the dryer easy.
What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry : Dryer senses electronically 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 on operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period.
Sudden change on operation time is not a malfunction.
Time Dry : Time Dry is that you can set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Time Dry to have
drying 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.

!
WARNING!
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
• Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.
• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a
tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a
fire hazard.
If it is unaboidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be
placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasolin, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,
kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (also know as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. like materials should not be dried in a
tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could
be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.

EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance
WARNING!
Disconnect the dryer’s 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 been suddenly unsatisfied in the past several
cases, 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 immediately wipe the exterior of the
dryer in the event any detergent, bleach, or other
washing products is spilled on the dryer, because
these products may cause permanent damage to
the exterior finish of 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.
2. 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,
because wet lint is hard to remove. Push the lint
screen firmly back into place.
3. 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.
4. Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than
others (towels for example), causing the Lint
Screen to rapidly fill. Remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying these articles, such
as new towels.
5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and
into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust
hood and remove any lint.
6. 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) Repeat as necessary.
d) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen
with hot water.
e) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel,
firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
4. Problem : There is Lint on my Clothes
Question
What to Do
Is your lint filter full?
Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and please confirm that the
lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint filter is clean before each new load of
laundry.
Did you properly sort your load of
laundry?
In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint producers (like a
fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes that might catch lint (such as a pair
of black linen pants).
Do your clothes have excess static
electricity?
See comments below under There is static in my clothes after drying.
Did you overload your dryer?
Divide your larger load into smaller loads.
Did you place any paper, tissue, or
other similar material in the load?
Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue out of the pocket
of a pair of pants, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause excess lint in a
load of laundry. Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and other articles of clothing
are empty before washing and drying.
5. Problem : There is static in my clothes after drying
Question
What to Do
Did you use fabric softener?
Try using a fabric softener to reduce static electricity.
Did you over dry the load of
laundry?
Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a build up of static electricity.
Try using a fabric softener or adjust your settings and use a shorter drying time.
Are you drying synthetic, permanent
press and blends?
These materials can cause static to build up in a load of dried clothes.
Try using a fabric softener.
6. Problem : The drying time is not consistent
Question
Are you using consistent heat
settings and consistent load sizes?
What to Do
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat
used (electric, natural or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness
of the clothes and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filer.

7. Problem : It takes too long for my clothes to dry
Question
What to Do
Did you properly sort your loads of
laundry?
Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads.
Are you drying large loads of heavy
fabrics?
Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help
reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Are the dryer controls properly set?
Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
Is the lint filter clean before each
new load of laundry?
Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry.
Are the exhaust ducts clear and
properly configured?
Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust
venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of
obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the
dampers are not pushed in, and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?
Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORTANT: electric dryers generally use two
fuses or breakers.)
Did you overload your dryer?
Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads.
Did you under load your dryer?
If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure
proper tumbling action.
8. Problem : My clothes are wrinkled
Question
What to Do
Are you over drying your laundry?
Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying
time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
Are you removing your laundry
from the dryer soon after the
drying cycle is complete?
Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or
fold the items.
9. Problem : My clothes are shrinking
Question
What to Do
Are you following the care
instructions for your garment?
To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use instructions for your
garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics
can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer.
