HybridCare™ Heat Pump Technology
A typical dryer uses large amounts of energy; this dryer consumes a fraction of the energy by recycling and reclaiming heat. The HybridCare™ dryer is a ventless heat pump dryer that uses a refrigeration system to dry and recycle the same air. The laundry is dried with low temperatures; therefore it may feel cooler than expected during and after the drying process.
The heat pump dryer’s heating phase is longer than in traditional dryers. If possible, do not open the dryer door during the process as heat can escape from the drum and can make longer drying times.

•ENERGY: Regenerates energy to reduce overall energy consumption.
•PERFORMANCE: Three available modes allow flexibility to manage drying performance and energy savings.
•FABRIC CARE: Capability to use less heat than vented dryer.
•VENTLESS DESIGN: Allows installation in more locations throughout the home.
New Sounds from HybridCare™ Heat Pump
•Dryer runs on a compressor like your refrigerator and you may notice a hum from the compressor.
•The water from wet clothes is pumped out to your drain. You may notice a gurgling sound occasionally.

4Evaporator is cooling and discharging condensation water
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, heat pump unit 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. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and can result 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.

Control Panel and Features
NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

Additional Features
USING THE DRYING RACK
To purchase a drying rack for your dryer, see “Accessories” section for more information. You will need your model and serial number and the purchase date. Remove and discard any packing material before use.
Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack remains stationary.
The drying rack is intended for use with the Manual Dry/ Timed Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used with Automatic cycles.
To use the drying rack:
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen. 1. Open dryer door.
2.Align the two hooks on the front of the drying rack with the holes in the dryer door opening and press down fully into holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back ledge.
3.Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave adequate clearance between items and the inside of the dryer drum. Make sure items do not hang over the edges or between drying rack grille.
4.Close the door.
5.Select a Timed Dry, or Low Temperature cycle. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline.
6.When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the default time. You can change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or decreasing the cycle time.
7.Start the dryer.
NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint accumulated from items dried on the drying rack after the cycle is finished.
Dryer Care
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum:
1.Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth.
2.Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3.Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum OR
