• GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
  This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet with a 3-prong ground receptacle. To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling.
WARNING : Improper use of the grounding plug and/or outlet can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, or either:

• If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
  WARNING : DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

LOCATION

1. Examine the dryer after unpacking. Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT install, and notify your dealer immediately.
2. Check to ensure that you have the wall-mounting kit and four (4) leveling legs.
3. Install the dryer on a flat, level surface. If the surface is uneven, adjust the leveling legs. If you are going to wall mount your dryer, use the included wall-mounting kit.
4. Install the dryer away from direct sunlight; direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, plastic and electrical components. The room temperature should not fall below 32°F.
5. Check the ventilation. DO NOT block the air vents, especially when the dryer is installed on a carpeted floor. If the air vents are blocked during operation, the dryer may overheat and eventually fail. For proper ventilation, allow at least 5 inches of space between the dryer top, sides, rear, and adjacent surfaces. Ensure adequate space for ventilation. It is recommended that the unit be vented outdoors. (Ventilation Kit not included.)
6. Install the dryer away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the dryer away from heat, steam, or splashing liquids. Never splash water onto the control panel. These things can adversely affect the wiring and electrical conduction contacts of the dryer.
7. Check the power supply.
   •  Check your local power source. The dryer requires a current of approximately 12 Amperes, 120 Volts, and a 60 Hz grounded outlet.
   • A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Ensure that the dryer does not stand on its power cord.
   •  Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at the very least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance.
   • The extension cord must be a grounding type, 3-wire cord.
   • A longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the appliance where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
   • Plug the dryer into a properly installed receptacle box that is fully grounded. DO NOT under any circumstances modify, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.

ADJUSTING THE LEVELING LEGS

• The dryer is shipped with a bag containing the user guide and four (4) leveling legs. See the illustration to the right to install and adjust the leveling legs.
• If the dryer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibrations will occur from the appliance.
• If the floor is uneven, adjust the height level of the leveling legs accordingly. DO NOT insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the legs.`

OPERATION CONTROL PANEL

MODE SELECTOR

• NORMAL: By default, the dryer operated under the ‘NORMAL’ mode (the mode button is pressed), in combination with the presets, ‘SENSORY DRY’ and ‘TIMER’, for optimal drying performance. The ‘SENSORY DRY’ function can be adjusted to your drying needs by using the dial and temperature guidelines.
• ECO : The Dryer operates using an energy-saving mode, independent of the ‘SENSORY DRY’ and the ‘TIMER’ functions. The dryer will automatically run in ‘ECO’ mode for a total duration of 270 minutes. The dryer will begin air drying the laundry for 150 minutes with cool air, followed by another 120 minutes using hot air by activating the heating element. Simply open and load the dryer, close the door, then depress the ‘Mode’ button, and the dryer will run in the ‘ECO’ mode. If the power turns off while the dryer is in ‘ECO’ mode, the unit will remember the time remaining and resume drying when the power goes on again. Memory won’t be affected if the door is opened when the unit is off. However, if the door is opened while the dryer is on, the remainder time will not be remembered and ‘ECO’ drying will not resume.
• SENSORY DRY SELECTOR ON: When the drying time reaches 120 minutes, the sensor dry function measures the moisture and humidity levels during the cycle and automatically adjusts the heating time for a more efficient drying performance. As a result, the dryer may stop generating heat in advance of the ‘TIME preset, but the preset cycle continues by pushing cool air until the drying time finished in the ‘Off/0’ position.
• OFF: The dryer operates according to the time set by the ‘TIMER’ until the preset finished in the ‘Off/0 position.

TIME SETTING

• OFF: When the ‘TIMER’ is in the ‘OFF/0’ position, power is not supplied to the unit. Turning the dial clockwise to the desired program will start the dryer.
• COOL: This setting is generally used to cool items that have just been dried to help prevent creasing. It will generate cool air, instead of the motor pushing heat into the drum of the dryer.
• ANTI-WRINKLE: For laundry loads that are difficult to iron (e.g. cotton shirts and linen), set the ‘TIMER’ between 30-60 minutes, depending on the load size. Once the cycle stops, the items will still contain moisture, thereby making the ironing process easier
• WARM: This setting is used to dry and cool, and depending on the material, leave items wrinkle free. Set the ‘TIMER’ by turning the dial clockwise between 60-150 minutes.
• HOT: This setting is used for drying large quantities or bulky items (i.e. the dryer drum is more than 1/2 full). Set the ‘TIMER’ by turning the dial clockwise to 150+ minutes.
• AIR DRY : This setting is used without any heat to freshen items by letting cool air move through it (e.g. clothes that have been stored for an extended period of time).
  NOTE: ALWAYS make sure items being dried have gone through the Spin cycle in the washing machine first.

DRYING TIME REFERENCE

NOTE: Load weights and respective drying times are approximate.

• SORTING AND LOADING LAUNDRY
  For the best results, your laundry should be sorted properly. Separate the lint shedders (e.g. chenille and terry cloth) from the lint collectors (e.g. synthetics, flannels, velvets, and corduroys). Separate non-colorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics, and permanent press from heavy, bulky items. Delicate clothes, especially those with ribbon or lace, should be placed in a nylon mesh bag before drying to prevent tangling.

• NOTE: Before drying, check all pockets. If nails, coins, or pins remain in pockets, the objects may damage the dryer and/or clothes. Place your laundry into the dryer evenly. Uneven laundry may cause noise or vibrations. Clothes with zippers, buckles buttons or fasteners should be closed or turned inside out to reduce the impact of noise between the metal and the dryer’s drum.

• DO NOT TUMBLE DRY : Read all permanent care labels carefully. If the care label on the garment reads “Drip Dry”, “Line Dry”, or “Dry Flat”, DO NOT dry the garments in the dryer. In addition, certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated, while other garments may lose their shape.

Other items that should not be tumble dried are the following:

1.  Garments that have been dry cleaned at home.
2.  Garments made from wool, unless the garment manufacturer recommends it.
3. Garments with fiberglass materials.
4. Garments containing vinyl, rubber, plastic or similar materials, including bras, tennis shoes, rubber galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc., as they may melt or burn. Under certain circumstances, some rubber materials, when heated, can produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
   NOTE: DO NOT use fabric softeners or related products that help eliminate static, unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or related products.

FABRIC CARE

• For optimum results, load the dryer with cloths of similar fabric, weight and construction. Check for stains that may not have been removed in washing. The dryer heat may permanently set some stains.
• Separate dark and light colored items, like you do when washing laundry.
• DRYING TIME: The drying time depends on many factors, such as the type of fabric. In addition, the drying duration is dependent on how dry you want the laundry to be when taken out of the dryer.
• DRYER ADDED FABRIC SOFTENERS: Certain dryer added fabric softeners may cause damage to automatic dryers. Therefore, only use fabric softeners with written assurance from the manufacturer that their softeners can safely be used in your dryer.
• SINGLE ITEMS: Use the timed drying mode when there is only one item to be dried. This is because the moisture sensor in the automatic drying mode may disable the heating element too early in the cycle, thereby failing to adequately dry the garment.
• OVERDRYING GARMENTS: When using the timed drying mode, it is possible to over dry the garments, especially if the timer has been set too long. This can cause the fabrics to wrinkle, shrink, or feel harsh. Synthetic materials can also become charged with static electricity.
  NOTE: Refer to the Fabric Care Chart on page 14 for commonly used fabric care symbols.
  NOTE: Always remove the laundry load from the dryer as soon as possible.

FABRIC CARE CHART

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• UNIT The dryer should be cleaned regularly, including the control panel, with a soft cloth and non- abrasive household detergents. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
