	NOTE

When the dryer is fiirst installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.

Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.

Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in the dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

30 OPERATION

OPERATION

WARNINg

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read this entire manual, including the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, before operating this dryer.

Using the Dryer

1 Clean the Lint Filter

If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient drying performance. Make sure to reinstall the filter, pressing down until it clicks firmly into place. The dryer will not operate without the lint filter in place.

2 Load the Dryer

Load the dryer with the wet laundry from the washer. If the load is extra large, you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric care.

3 Turn on The Dryer

Press the Encendido/Apagado (Power) button to turn on the dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate and a chime will sound.

4 Select a Cycle

Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the desired cycle is on. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle will be shown. Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed if desired. Refer to the Cycle Setting and Options page for details.

NOTE

Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. A different chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed.

5 Begin the Cycle

Press the Inicio/Pausa(Start/Pause) button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Inicio/ Pausa(Start/Pause) button. If the cycle is not restarted within 60 minutes of being paused, the dryer will shut off and the settings will be lost.

6 End of Cycle

When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Anti Arrugas(Wrinkle Care) is selected, the dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.
