Before you start Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer. Sort and load • • • • Put one wash load in the dryer at a time. Do not put heavy and light items together. To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load. For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer. • • • • Overloading reduces tumbling performance, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.
Operations WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the “Safety information“ before operating this appliance. Control panel 05 02 01 03 04 06 Turn the cycle selector to select the desired cycle. When a cycle is selected, the cycle indicator lights up. 02 Digital Graphic Display Displays the current process and the on/off status of the additional function. Operations 01 Cycle Selector Press to change the temperature for the TIME DRY and WRINKLE RELEASE cycles.
Operations Press to adjust the drying time for the Manual Dry cycles. This option is not available with the Sensor Dry cycles because the dryer determines the drying time by sensing the current moisture level of the load. 04 Time * Wrinkle Prevent Wrinkle Prevent provides approximately 180 minutes of intermittent tumbling in unheated air at the end of the cycle to reduce wrinkling. Press and hold Time for 3 seconds to activate this feature.
Cycle overview Sensor Dry Sensor Dry cycles sense moisture in the load and stop the dryer when the load reaches the dryness level you have selected. Cycle Description VERY DRY Use this cycle to dry large or bulkier fabrics. MORE DRY Use this cycle to dry large or bulkier fabrics. NORMAL DRY For most fabrics, including cotton and linens. DAMP DRY Damp dry is designed to partially dry items. Use this cycle for flat by hanger or ironing.
Operations Cycle chart NOTE For best results, follow the load size recommendations for each dry cycle. • Large load: Fill the drum to about 3/4 full. Do not add items over this level as they need to tumble freely. • Medium load: Fill the drum to about 1/2 full. • Small load: Fill the drum with 3-5 items, not more than 1/4 full.

Operations Cycle guide The best way to dry items is to follow the instructions on the care label. If no drying instructions are provided, see the following table for reference. Cycle Description Bedspreads & Comforters Follow the care label instructions. • Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing. • May require repositioning in the drum to ensure even drying. Blankets Use NORMAL and dry only one blanket at a time for the best tumbling action.
Special features Child Lock Child Lock prevents children from playing with the dryer. When Child Lock is activated, all buttons except for the POWER button are disabled. To activate/deactivate Child Lock: • Simultaneously press and hold Temp. and Time for 3 seconds. NOTE Once Child Lock is activated, it will remain active even after you restart the dryer. If other buttons, except for the POWER button, do not respond, check the Child Lock indicator.
Maintenance Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its life cycle. 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: Control board and inlet valve. Cleaning Control panel Dryer exterior • • • • • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Troubleshooting Checkpoints If the dryer operates abnormally, first check the list of problems in the table below and try the suggested actions. Problem Action • • The dryer does not work. • • • • • The dryer does not heat. • • • • Make sure the door is latched shut. Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. Press or tap START/PAUSE again if the door is opened during a cycle. Clean the lint filter.
Troubleshooting Problem Action • • • The dryer does not dry. • • • • • • • The dryer is noisy. Check the actions for “The dryer does not run” and “The dryer does not heat” sections. Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely. Check the 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 dryer load. Dry heavy items and light items separately.
Problem Action • Items are unevenly dried. • • • The dryer smells. • • • Items are still wrinkled after WRINKLE PREVENT (WRINKLE-CARE, WRINKLE RELEASE) process. Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the drum, and exhausts it outside. When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer.
Troubleshooting Problem Water drips from the nozzle when STEAM CARE starts. Sprayed water is not visible during STEAM CARE. Drying takes too long. Action • This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time. • Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed. • Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached. The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry.
Information codes An information code is displayed with the temperature and time LEDs. First, all eight LEDs turn on, followed by one or two LEDs blinking. Check the following tables for their meanings. Check code Extra Low DC AC BC2 TC2 DF HC 9C1 FC AC BC2 DF HC 9C1 Time (min.) 40 60 20 80 Meaning Running the dryer with door open.
