IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the room meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national installation regulations. Make sure the room containing the dryer has an adequate air supply for gas combustion and/or drying operation. A window or equivalent means of ventilation must be opened in the room when the dryer is in use (an equivalent form of opening includes an adjustable louvre, hinged panel, or other means of ventilation that opens directly to outside air).
Keep a minimum clearance of 4" (10 cm) between the rear of the dryer and any wall.
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of other types of gas appliances which take their air supply for safe combustion from the same room. There has to be adequate ventilation to replace exhausted air and thus avoid the back-flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, when operating the tumble dryer. If in doubt, consult the appliance manufacturers.
Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see Installation Instructions for minimum clearances).
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. A door switch is fitted for your safety.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not continue to use this appliance if it appears to be faulty.
Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any maintenance unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide. Repairs and servicing should only be carried out by competent service personnel.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. Follow their instructions.
Always use the cool-down period at end of drying cycle to avoid a heat build-up in stored clothes.
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load. Do not operate dryer without lint screen in place.
Keep area around the exhaust and inlet openings and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
See Installation Instructions for earthing instructions.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not dry unwashed items in this dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles, and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the dryer.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
WARNING:
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of
the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 46 cm (18 inches) above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door of the dryer. Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean
1. Pull the lint screen toward you. Roll lint off the screen with
your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
10
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT:
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.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Checking Your Vent.”
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 the screen.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To was h
1. Roll lint off filter using your fingers.
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. Insert lint
screen back into dryer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Dryer Operation
Dryer will not run
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check to make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the correct power supply available?
Electric dryers require 220-240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician.
Was a regular fuse used?
Use a time-delay fuse.
Is the dryer door firmly closed?
Was the Start button firmly pressed?
No heat
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? 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.
For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?
Unusual sounds
Has the dryer had a period of non-use?
If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation.
Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum
and front or rear of the dryer? Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.
Is it a gas dryer?
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to
back and side to side? The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions.
Is the clothing knotted or balled up?
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
Dryer Results
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long, or load is too hot
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
WARNING
Fire Hazard Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with
lint, restricting air movement?
