CONTENTS SAFETY INFORMATION Product Registration ....................................................................................................................................................... 3 Precautions ............................................................................................................................................................................. 4 Important Safety Instructions............................................................................................
SAFETY INFORMATION ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The electrical requirement is for a 120 volt, 60Hz, electric dryer only, 12 amps. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The product is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. This appliance must be grounded.
SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING This dryer cannot be used upside down. Risk of Fire Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer. Install clothes dryer according to the manufacturers instructions and local codes. Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for us with clothes dryers.
SAFETY INFORMATION 3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See the “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” section found on page 4. 4. Install or locate the appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions. 5. DO NOT place the dryer in steamy rooms or where the dryer is directly exposed to rain. Moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing an electrical shock hazard. 6. Use the dryer only for its intended use as described in the user guide.
SAFETY INFORMATION 22. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 23. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. 24.
SAFETY INFORMATION Oil affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumbler 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.
SET UP & USE INSTALLATION GUIDE 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 four (4) leveling legs. 3. Install the dryer on a flat, level surface. If the surface is uneven, adjust the leveling legs. 4.
SET UP & USE INSTALLING THE EXHAUST CONNECTOR Install the exhaust connector as shown in the illustration by lining it up with the connector on the back of the dryer and turning it clockwise so the tabs on the exhaust connector fit into the slots on the connector: • For a downward exhaust, join the sections (1) pointing downward. • For an upward exhaust, join the sections (2) pointing upward. NOTE: The dryer must be vented.

SET UP & USE OPERATION CONTROL PANEL MODE SELECTOR NORMAL: By default, the dryer operates under the 'NORMAL' mode (the mode button is pressed), in combination with the presets, 'SENSOR DRY' and 'TlMER', for optimal drying performance. The 'SENSOR 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 'SENSOR DRY' and the 'TIMER' functions.
SET UP & USE • 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.
SET UP & USE SORTING AND LOADING LAUNDRY NOTE: Do not load your dryer more than approximately half full to allow space for the clothes to tumble. 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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE 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 TlME: The drying time depends on many factors, such as the type of fabric.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE NOTE: Unplug the power cord before cleaning any part of the dryer. 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. Do not pour water on the dryer or control panel. Use a soft cloth to dry the surfaces.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE AIR INTAKE FILTER The air intake filter should be cleaned before or after each use. Refer to the chart below to clean the air intake filter. NOTE: Unplug the power cord before cleaning any part of the dryer.
