IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of
,
fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including
the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in these operating
instructions. Repairs to electrical
appliances should only be performed
by qualified personnel. Incorrectly
repaired machines may pose a
considerable risk to the user.
Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances.
They may give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children. Always close the
door after use to prevent child hazards.
Before this appliance is removed
from service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the
drum is moving.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper
with the controls.
Do not use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or items
containing hair spray, nail polish
remover or similar substances.
Clean the lint filter before or after
each load.
Keep the area around the air intake
(toekick) and adjacent surrounding
areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
The interior of the machine and
exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified personnel.
Do not place items exposed to oils
in your dryer. Items contaminated
with oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause the laundry to
catch fire.
This dryer is intended for
residential use only!

To reduce the risk of electric
,
shock, disconnect the dryer from the
power supply by shutting off the
power main, tripping the circuit
breaker or unplugging the power
cord before performing
maintenance.

What if the "Child Lock" indicator flashes after turning the dryer on and a
program cannot be started?
Possible fault Fix
The child lock is activated. Deactivate the child lock. See "Child Lock."
What if the program stops, the "Anti-crease / End" indicator lights and the
buzzer sounds?
Possible fault Fix
The drum is empty. Load laundry into the dryer. The dryer will not
operate when the drum is empty. Single
items should be dried with "Sturdy" or a
timed program and dry items in the "Fluff"
program.
What if the "Filter/Vent" fault indicator is lit?
Possible fault Fix
The lint filter is clogged. Clean the lint filters. See "Dryer care".
The exhaust hose or the
connection is clogged with lint.
The air supply in the room is

insufficient.
17
Frequently asked questions
What if the "Filter/Vent" indicator lights after cleaning the exhaust system?
Possible fault Fix
The dryer is not operating efficiently
because the duct hose is too long.
Check the exhaust length and diameter
(see "How to calculate the effective
duct length"). A long exhaust hose will
increase program times and energy
consumption.
If the exhaust hose cannot be
shortened, the indicator can be turned
off by a service technician.
What if the program runs too long or stops?
Possible fault Fix
The airflow is insufficient in the area of
the dryer.
Open a window or door to increase
airflow.
The lint filters are clogged. Clean the lint filters (see "Dryer care").
The laundry was not spun sufficiently in
the washer.
Select a higher spin speed in the wash
program.
The dryer is overloaded. Reduce the load size.
Metal zippers interfere with the dryer’s
moisture sensors.
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must be
provided between the machine and the
floor.
Select a timed program to avoid
overdrying.
This gap must not be blocked by a
toekick or thick piled carpets for
sufficient airflow.
What if the laundry is not dry enough?
Possible fault
The load contained too many dissimilar items (size and fabric.)
What if water has collected around the drum opening?
Possible fault
This is condensed moisture from the laundry.

Installation
Installation tips
An airflow gap of3/8" (10 mm) must
be provided between the machine
and the floor. This airflow gap must
not be blocked by a toekick or thick
piled carpets.
Do not install the dryer next to a
refrigerator. The warm air exhausting
from the dryer can affect the
thermostat of the refrigerator,
causing it to run continuously.

Installation
Exhaust connection with a
flexible exhaust hose or rigid
pipe
Using the connector supplied, an
exhaust hose (4" [100 mm]
diameter) can be installed.
Necessary materials:
a wall or window duct
–
an exhaust hose made of approved
–
non-flammable material
Window connection
1 Window connection (installed in a
plexiglass pane)
2 Connector for the flexible exhaust hose

How to calculate the effective
duct length
The overall duct length will determine
the duct diameter.
Measure the actual duct length
^
needed to go from the dryer’s
exhaust connection to the vent outlet:
1. Establish the number of elbows or
bends necessary, noting the type of
bend, angle and radius involved
(see Table).
2. Add the additional duct length (as
derived by using the values
specified in the table) to the actual
duct length to get the effective
length.
Note:
Maximum effective duct lengths:
4" (100 mm) diameter 66 ft (20 m)
5" (125 mm) diameter 132 ft (40 m)
6" (150 mm) diameter 328 ft (100 m)
Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m)
require a larger duct diameter.
Longer ducts may lead to slight
decreases in dryer efficiency if the
necessary duct diameter is not
employed.
Tips about the ductwork
Check with your local building code
–
to determine the maximum allowable
duct length.
Use flexible metal pipe or rigid metal
–
pipe for venting. Non-metallic flexible
hose should not be used since it is a
potential fire hazard.
For best drying results avoid extra
–
long ducting with too many bends,
angles or tight corners.
The shorter the exhaust ductwork,
–
the more efficient the dryer will be.
Expelled air is slowed down in the
ducts due to friction against the inner
walls. The shorter and smoother the
inner walls are, the less friction will
be created.
– An elbow or bend creates more
friction than a straight duct. An
additional duct length factor must be
added for each elbow or bend (see
Table). This factor expresses the
resistance of the bend in terms of a
straight length of duct.
The additional length factor is then
added to the existing duct to give the
effective duct length.
A larger duct diameter helps to
reduce friction. Therefore the duct
diameter and length should be
increased simultaneously.
