DRYER CARE

WARNING

• Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel – Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: inlet valve, control board and temperature-regulating thermistor (located on blower housing).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CONTROL PANEL

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
• The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre treatment soil and stain remover products. Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

STAINLESS STEEL OR ANODIZED DRUM

• To clean the stainless steel or anodized drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel and anodized surfaces.
• Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

DRYER EXTERIOR

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Protect the surface from sharp objects.
• Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer. Keep them on the purchased pedestal or in a separate storage box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
• Since the entire dryer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
• Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.

DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM

• Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain optimum performance.
• Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood (at the exhaust outlet) outside of the building.
• Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.
• Be sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in the exhaust hood so that the flappers or louvers will not open or close completely.
• After cleaning the exhaust hood, check that the flapper or louvers move freely.
• Reassemble the exhaust duct and hood, checking that the joints are secure and sealed.
• Operate the dryer and verify that the exhaust air is not obstructed in the vent and that there are no leaks in the system.
• The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CHECK THESE SOLUTIONS IF YOUR DRYER…
If your dryer has any problems as followings, you can check as the solutions listed below before making a service call. This will help you save time and money.

• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
• Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
The unit doesn’t heat.| • Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
• Select a heat setting other than Air fluff and the
Temp selection is not on “No heat”
• On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry.| • Check all of the above, plus…
• Be sure the exhaust hood outside the home can  open and close freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use a 4″ rigid metal exhaust duct.
•Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dry load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
The unit is noisy.| • Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, broken zips, etc. Remove promptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined inthe installation instruction.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and
exhaust system.
Clothes are unevenly dried.| • Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal.
Select the Extra Dry setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the  heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Shuts off before load is dry.| • Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle.
• Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
The unit has a special odor.| • Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with surrounding  room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from surrounding air space of the dryer locations.
• When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
Odors remain in clothing after refresh| • Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed utilizing desired wash cycle.
Garments still wrinkled after Wrinkleprevent| •  Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
• Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.
Lint on clothes| • Clean lint filter before every cycle.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a  fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of lack linen pants).
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
