nsta ation instructions

To reduce condensation, insulate any ducting which passes through unheated areas.
Slope the duct gently downwards to the hood, to drain condensation and reduce lint build up.
Avoid sag or loops in the duct as they may collect and store water and accumuhte lint.

Before using an existing exhaust duct system for a dryer ensure that:

No plastic or other potentially combustible duct or flexible metal foil ducting has been used.
The duct is not pierced, kinked or crushed.
The duct does not exceed the maximum recommended length for the new dryer.
The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely and with sufficient movement.
Static pressure in the exhaust ducting does not exceed 250Pa (1 inch of water column), or is not

less than 0 inches of water column (ie negative pressure), when measured with a manometer in
the first 150 mm (6") of the duct, with the dryer running on FLUFF(NO HEAT)setting.
The exhaust duct system meets all relevant local, state, province and national codes.

All ducting should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to remove accumulated lint.

Frequently check that the damper on the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and
shuts freely.

Usingyourdryer

Check the care labels inside the garments to determine whether the garment manufacturer

recommends tumble drying (see care label section).

1, Sorting

It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of
similar types of items and items that take similar times to dry.

Heavier items (eg towels, t-shirts and flannel sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight
items (eg synthetics, poly-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items

becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of your
clothing and linen.

Drying your clothes assoon asthe washer hasfinished will decreasethe chance of wrinkles
forming and reducethe chance of dye transfer from colored items to white items.

We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to ensure the
screen-printing does not stick to the drum. Garments with hooks or zippers need to be fastened
and where possible turned inside out. Place undergarments in a mesh bag to provide protection

from other items in the load.

Use a drying rack to dry wool garments (available as an optional accessory).

2, Loading

Garments need to be loaded properly to reduce the likelihood of them wrinkling and to ensure
the load is dried evenly, Make sure there is ample room for the garments to tumble freely while
drying. Load in terms of the space the garments will take up when dry, rather than when they

are wet.

The general rule is: one wash load : one dryer load.

It is a good idea to dry 'permanent press'type garments together in a separate cycle with the

EXTRACAREoption turned on. This will help reduce wrinkles and the need for ironing.

3oClean the lint filter

Clean the lint filter each time you use the dryer, before or after each load.

Operete your dryer w;th the tint filter in piece et ell times.

Select an automatic or timed cycle. See the below cycle descriptions.

Select a drying cycle that matches the type of bad you are drying. Different fabrics have
different drying requirements, so it is important to choose the cycle that best describes the load.

[f your load contains mainly delicate items it is best you select the KNmTSDEL[CATEScycle.

AMays t\ollow the garment manufacturer's carelabd instructions when &yingo

[f you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, it's best to select a lower heat
rather than a higher heat, eg the KNITSDELICATESor PERMANENTPRESScycle instead of the

COTTONREGULARcycle.

Choose the FLUFFcycle for items requiring drying without heat. The cycle is perfect for airing
clothes or to freshen up garments that have been packed in a suitcase or drawer.

Select COTTONREGULARfor drying genera[ cottons such assheets,sweats and knits. Thiscycle

usesa high heatto dry clothes quickly. Suitable for garments labeled 'tumble dry"

Use the PERMANENTPRESScycle for drying lightweight fabrics. A medium heat is used to reduce

wrinkles. Ideal for lightweight cottons, casuals and items labeled 'tumble dry with a medium

heat' This cycle automatically selects the DEWR_NKLEoption to reduce wrinkles.

Choose the KNITSDELICATESfor heat sensitive items, this cycle uses a low heat. Use this setting
when care labels recommend low heat settings or for garments with a synthetic fiber content,

where overheating could cause damage to fibers.

Extra care

Minimizes the likelihood of wrinkles forming in clothes if you are not able to

unload the dryer straight away.

Using your dryer

5oSelecting the dryness level

The desired dryness level can be altered.There are two dryness levels to choose between:

LESSDRY

Refer to page 28 for dryness level descriptions.

At the end of the cycle, if the clothes are still damp or are too dry, next time just adjust the
dryness level on the timer to meet your personal preferences.

6o Selecting the drying process

There are two ways in which your dryer is able to dry clothes; by using automatic drying or by

using T_MED DRY.

Automatic drying
When automatic drying is selected the dryer automatically senses the dryness level of the

load and turns off when the clothes are dry.The dryer's internal computer measures the

moisture content of the load using metal sensing bars and together with a temperature
sensor determines when the clothes have reached the selected dryness level (Refer to above -
'Selecting the dryness level').

For optimum clothes care, match the cycle to the load. Automatic drying often provides the best

results and leads to lower energy costs than T_MEDDRY.

Note: as automatic drying relys on items of the load contacting sensors, it will not work when
the drying rack accessory is used.

T_MED DRY
There are three timed cycles. You can choose between 40, 60 and 80 minutes. A COOLDOWN

period of 10 minutes is included in the three cycles.

To select a timed cycle, set the cycle selector dial at the desired drying time you want your dryer
to run for. Throughout the cycle, the cycle selector dial will rotate towards the end of the cycle.

During TIMED DRY,the dryer does not sense when the clothes are dry, This may cause over°
drying, We recommend that you dry your clothes for a shghdy shorter time than you think
they need, or check on them regularly (to avoid over,_drying)o

Using yeur dryer

7o Beginning the drying cycle

Once you have chosen all your desired settings, close the dryer door and press START(located on
the right--hand side of the control panel).

Opening the door during the operation will stop the dryer.

]b restart the dryer, dose the door and select STARTto complete the cycle.

8o Stopping your dryer

Your dryer can be stopped durk_g any stage of the d@qng process, to allow you to check on your

load or add/remove clothes.

]b do this, open the dryer door. There will be a slight dehy as the drum slows down and stops.

if the cycle is interrupted before it progresses into COOLDOWN,parts of the drum mey be hot.
Caution should be taken if removing items.

Tb start your dryer again, press START.

9oChanging cycles during operation

[f you wish to change the drying cycle you have chosen after the machine has already begun
dD4ng, press your new cycle sdecqon on the control panel.

10oFabric softener sheets

If you want to use fabric softener sheets, you must ensure that they are labeled 'dryer safe'.
Always follow the instructions on the packaging. Do not place them in a dryer with warm clothes
as there is a chance the fabric softener may stain clothes. Only use a softener sheet once, then

discard it.

11o Beeps

At the end of the cycle, the dryer will beep to let you know that the bad is finished. The drum
will automatically come to rest, allowing you to open the door and remove your load.

Care labels

Below is a selection of care label symbols that garment manufacturers use to show how their
garments should be dried, We've converted these symboB into the cycles and heat settings that
we recommend you use in the dryer. By following our recommendations, you can ensure that

Do not use the drying option, asthe machine is unable to sense articles placed on the drying rack
and cannot determine when articles are dry, When placing items on the drying rack make sure
they do not hang over the edge of the drying rack.

Check art£1es throughout the cycle to avoid over,odryingo

You must not tumble other clothes while you are @:ying items on the drying rack°

Drum [amp (optional on some models)

Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to unplug the dryer power cord or disconnect the dryer at the

household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching offthe circuit breaker. Reach above
the dryer opening from inside the drum. Remove the bulb and replace with the same size bulb.

C eaning your dryer

Clean your dryer with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use scouring cleaners as they can
damage the paint and plastic surfaces.

Interior

The drum is rust-resistant However, colored fabrics which lose color or bleed in the washer may
cause discoloration of the dryer drum. We recommend that the dryer drum be cleaned with
a cloth using a detergent and water paste or a mild abrasive, such as Soft Scrub% Complete
cleaning by thoroughly wiping the drum with a moist dotL Then tumble-dry several wet rags or
old towels for 20 to 30 minutes before using the dryer normally.

Exterior

Wipe off any spills or washing compounds. Wipe or dust with a damp cloth. Try not to strike the
surface with sharp obiects. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry

pretreatment soil and stain remover products if such products are sprayed on or have direct

contact with the dryer.

Preotreatment sprays

Do not use pre--treatment sprays or liquids on or near your dryer as they can damage your
machine% control panel as well as any of its plastk parts. Damage to your dryer caused by
pre--treatment products will not be covered by your warranty.

Stains

If stains appear inside the drum of your machine, mix a detergent and water paste (or use a
non-fiammaNe liquid cleaner) and wipe over the stain with a soft cloth.Then tumble old towels

for 20 - 40 minutes on the FLUFFcycle to remove all traces of the cleaner.

Lint filte_

The lint filter will need to be cleaned before each time you use
the dryer. It is easier to remove the lint when your fingers are

moistened. A lint filter that is clean ensures your clothes will remain
lint-free and your dryer will operate at maximum efficiency.
