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: Two available modes allow exibility 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.

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.

CYCLE GUIDE
Your dryer, has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load. The “What to Dry” “How to Dry” layout
guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:
1. First determine what items are in the load that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your “What to Dry” selection.
2. Then determine how you want the dryer to dry them by selecting the appropriate “How to Dry” selection. Modifiers are preset for
the items being dried, but can be changed if desired.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer use the Automatic cycles. These cycles measure the drying
air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. Dryer performance and
results may vary with service voltage less than 240.
For best fabric care, choose the cycle
that best fits the load being dried.

damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
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 lint screen:
1. Roll lint off the screen with
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. Reinstall screen
in dryer or lint filter.
CLEANING THE HybridCare™ FILTER AND
FILTER LINT SCREEN
