What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry : Dryer senses electronically laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time
based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or
decrease on operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period.
Sudden change on operation time is not a malfunction.
Time Dry : Time Dry is that you can set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Time Dry to have
drying performance if clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for
heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.

IMPORTANT WARRANTY AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Part 2
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, property damage, personal injury, or death when using this appliance,
please follow all instructions and information, including those in this manual and instructions and information provided by
your gas supplier, including the following:
• Do not store or use any gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or any other flammable vapors or
liquids in the area surrounding this appliance.
• Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it, even after washing.
• No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry any articles that have ever had any kind of
oil on them, including cooking oil.
• Articles containing foam, rubber, rubber like materials, plastic, or similar materials should be dried on a clothesline or by
using an air cycle.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, death, or serious injury.
• A qualified service person or company must perform installation and service of this appliance.
• This dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a
tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble 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.
If it is unaboidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be
placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasolin, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,
kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (also know as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. like materials should not be dried in a
tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could
be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
WARNING!
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
• Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.
• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
