Dry Linen Capacity
These units are sold in multiple regions with different
requirements for measuring capacity. Below are a few of
the valid forms of measure posted on this product:
Dry Linen Capacity: A weight measure that reects a
maximum load size that can be loaded into the dryer.
IEC Capacity: The capacity measure that represents the
maximum capacity of dry linens and textiles which the
manufacturer declares can be treated in a specic cycle.
10,5 kg (23 lb)
IEC Capacity
8,2 kg (18 lb)
Sound Level:
Lpa < 70 dB(A) (Kpa: +/- 2,5 dB(A))
CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Maintain good air ow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 102 mm (4")
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air ow.
102 mm
(4")
Good Better
Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times
and improve your energy savings. See Installation
Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role
in good air ow.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered
by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless
of who installed the dryer.
n
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at
least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure
to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your
dryer for nal product check.
n
Clear away items from the front the dryer.
Use Automatic cycles for Better Fabric Care and Energy Savings
Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles,
drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer
shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. The dryer will default to Normal Dryness Level to give you optimal dryness
for your load and save energy. With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling,
and static due to over-drying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the
drying rack.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the dryer location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would
block the air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes
clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
Cleaning the dryer interior
To clean dryer drum
1. Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the
stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until
stain is removed.
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
dryer interior. These stains will not damage your dryer and
will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside
out to avoid drum staining.
Removing accumulated lint
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done
by a qualied servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
Cleaning the lint screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.
A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen
with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to
remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,
damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause
overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
n
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See
“Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build
up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying
times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before
your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged
if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
9
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to dryer and personal injury, any
transport/installation of dryer requires two-person handling.
Vacation, storage, and moving care
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage
your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
Non-Use or Storage Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will
be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended
period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
Moving Care
IMPORTANT: Washer must be transported in the upright
position.
For power supply cord-connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
3. Use tape to secure dryer door.
Changing the Automatic Cycle
Settings to Increase Drying Time
If all your loads on all Automatic cycles are consistently
not as dry as you would like, you may change the default
settings to increase the default dryness level.
Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to
different installations, environmental conditions, or personal
preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your
Automatic cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There
are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the Cycle
Status light (Wet, Damp, Cool Down LEDs).
1 Factory preset dryness level.
2 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
3 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily, drying
times are too long, or
load is too hot
Possible Causes
Lint screen clogged with lint.
The Air Dry cycle has been selected.
Load too large and heavy to dry
quickly.
Exhaust vent or outside exhaust
hood clogged with lint, restricting air
movement.
Fabric softener sheets blocking
the grille.
Exhaust vent not the correct length.
Exhaust vent diameter is not the
correct size.
Dryer located in a room with
temperature below 7ºC (45ºF).
Dryer located in a closet.
Solution
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried.
See “Air Dry.”
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under the
outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel
air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust
vent with heavy metal or exible metal vent. See Installation
Instructions.
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too
many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the
Installation Instructions.
Use 102mm (4") diameter vent material.
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
7ºC (45ºF).
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum
of 25mm (1") of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of
the dryer requires 127mm (5"). See Installation Instructions.
Dryer will not run
Unusual sounds
Door not closed completely.Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.
START/PAUSE button not pressed
rmly or held long enough.
Household fuse is blown or circuit
breaker has tripped.
Incorrect power supply.
Wrong type of fuse.
Dryer had a period of non-use.
A coin, button, or paper clip is
caught between the drum and front
or rear of the dryer.
Gas valve operating (gas dryers only).
The four legs are not installed, or the
dryer is not level front to back and
side to side.
Clothing knotted or balled up.
Press and HOLD the START/PAUSE button until you hear the
dryer drum moving.
Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. The
drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call
an electrician.
Electric dryers require 220–240 volt power supply.
Check with a qualied electrician.
Use a time-delay fuse.
If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a
thumping sound during the rst few minutes of operation.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed.
See Installation Instructions.
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.)
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience
Cycle time too short
Lint on load
Stains on load or drum
Loads are wrinkled
Odors
Load is too hot
Possible Causes
Automatic cycle ending early.The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level
setting on Automatic Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the
dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle.
If loads are consistently ending too early, see also “Changing
the Automatic Cycle Default Settings.”
Lint screen clogged.
Dryer fabric softener not properly
used.
Load not removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle.
Dryer overloaded.
You have recently been painting,
staining, or varnishing in the area
where your dryer is located.
The electric dryer is being used for
the rst time.
Laundry items were removed from
the dryer before the end of the
cycle.
A high temperature cycle was used,
or a separate temperature control
was set on high.
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain
your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Select Wrinkle Shield option to tumble the load without heat to
avoid wrinkling.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce formation of
wrinkles.
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the rst cycle.
Allow the Cool Down step to nish before removing laundry
from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling
and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down
may feel very warm.
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.
These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the
load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
This reduces overdrying.

VERIFICATION D'UNE CIRCULATION D’AIR ADEQUATE POUR LE SYSTEME
D’EVACUATION
Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air
en effectuant les opérations suivantes :
n
Nettoyer le ltre à peluches avant chaque charge.
n
Remplacer le matériau de conduits d’évacuation en
plastique ou en aluminium par des conduits d’évacuation
lourds et rigides de 102 mm (4") de diamètre.
102 mm
(4")
n
Toujours employer les conduits d’évacuation les plus
courts possible.
n
Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes à 90° dans un circuit
d’évacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe réduit le ux
d’air.
Circulation d’air adéquate
Un sèche-linge a besoin de chaleur et d’une circulation d’air
adéquate pour sécher efcacement le linge. Une ventilation
adéquate réduit les durées de séchage et accroît les
économies d’énergie. Voir les Instructions d’installation.
Le système d’évacuation xé au sèche-linge joue un rôle
important dans la circulation de l’air.
Les interventions de dépannage causées par une ventilation
incorrecte ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie et seront
à la charge du client, quel que soit l’installateur de l’appareil.
n
Retirer les peluches et les résidus du clapet d’évacuation.
n
Retirer les peluches sur toute la longueur du circuit
d’évacuation au moins tous les 2 ans. Après le nettoyage,
veuillez suivre les instructions d’installation fournies avec
le sèche-linge pour une vérication nale de l’appareil.
n
Dégager tout article qui se trouverait devant le sèchelinge.
Bon Mieux
Utiliser les programmes automatiques pour un meilleur soin du tissu et davantage
d’économies d’énergie
Utiliser les programmes automatiques pour que le sèche-linge permette de réaliser davantage d’économies d’énergie et d’apporter
un soin supérieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes automatiques, la température de séchage de l’air et le niveau d’humidité
sont détectés dans la charge. Cette détection se produit tout au long du programme de séchage et le sèche-linge s’éteint lorsque
la charge atteint le degré de séchage sélectionné. Utiliser le niveau de séchage NORMAL DRY (séchage normal) pour offrir
un séchage optimal et pouvoir réaliser un maximum d’économies d’énergie. Avec l’option de Timed Dry (Séchage minuté), le
sèche-linge fonctionne pendant la durée réglée, ce qui peut parfois entraîner le rétrécissement ou le froissement du linge, et
l’accumulation d’électricité statique due au séchage excessif. Utiliser le Timed Dry (Séchage minuté) pour une charge encore
humide nécessitant un peu de temps supplémentaire ou lorsqu’on utilise la grille de séchage.
