5. Dark Blue: This program is the “ECO” cycle which runs intermittently with no heat and then high heat. This program works with a humidity sensor and will adjust the time automatically. The time cannot be changed in this program.

Maintenance

Please unplug the power cord prior to any cleaning. The Lint Filter must be in place whenever drying. It must be cleaned before each use. The Filter assembly is located at the back of the drum.

Removing the Filters
Remove by pulling outwards, with fingers inserted into the four holes around the Exhaust Vent shroud. The Filter is in 3 parts: Exhaust Vent Shroud, Lint Filter and Exhaust Filter (as shown in Figure 1).

Cleaning the Filters
Separate Exhaust Vent Shroud, Lint Filter and Exhaust Filter. Clean the lint on the Lint Filter and Exhaust Filter with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner (as shown in figure 2). Do not damage the filters.

Re-installing the Filters
After cleaning, assemble in the sequence of Exhaust filter – Lint Filter – Exhaust Vent Shroud. Align the recesses in the center with the projection in the center of the drum. Ensure that it is firmly inserted (as shown in Figure 3).

Cleaning the Air Intake Filter
The Filter should be cleaned occasionally. Remove by holding and pulling out the upper and lower ends of the Air Intake Shroud. Slightly push upwards with your thumb until the latch hook disconnects, then remove gently. Remove the Filter inside and clean it with a soft brush. Reassemble and install as before.

Cleaning the interior & exterior of the Dryer

• Do not wash directly with water.
• Do not use thinner, gasoline or alcohol.
• Do not use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning the interior. If dryer drum becomes stained, clean the drum with a damp cloth. Remove any residue before drying the next load. Clean cabinet with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners, as this could damage the dryer.

Operating the Dryer and Drying Tips

• Shake out and load items in the dryer one at a time to ensure even drying.
• Do not overload to ensure adequate air flow to dry clothes.
• Some items may need to be turned inside out to prevent damage to buttons, etc.
• Fasten buckles and straps to prevent metal from banging on the inside of the drum.
• Check pockets for coins and loose items.
