IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Risk of Suffocation and Injury from Entrapment: Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
• The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• 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. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
• See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements and installation.
• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
  NOTE: The booster fan warning does not apply to clothes dryers intended to be installed in a multiple clothes dryer system, with an engineered exhaust duct system that is installed per the clothes dryer manufacturer’s guidelines.

STEAM OPTIONS
Touch to add Steam or Reduce Static to selected cycle. Steam adds steam to the end of certain Sensor Cycle to help smooth wrinkles. Reduce Static will automatically tumble and introduce a small amount of moisture to the load to help reduce static. For best results with Reduce Static, avoid small load sizes.

During the sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle if it detects a blocked vent or low pressure it will display “Check vent. Clean lint screen or vent for better performance.”

REMEMBER: The dryer will continue to operate even when check vent notification is displayed, but poor airflow can impact dry times and overall performance.

Display message can be cleared by pressing any key with the exception of Power which will cancel the cycle.

CYCLE GUIDE

(Use sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings.) The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. The exact cycle times will vary, depending on load size and type. Settings shown are default settings for that cycle. Once you select a cycle, the default modifiers or the previous set modifiers for that cycle will be shown in the Display LCD. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being dried. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Please refer to garment label instructions for best care.
