allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

Drying Rack The Drying Rack provides a

stationary drying surface for items such as sweaters and tennis shoes.

See the "Additional Features" section for more information.

HybridCare TM 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 TM 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.

HybridCare TM Heat Pump Unit Benefits of HybridCare TM Heat Pump

• 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 TM 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.

O Heat Exchanger/Condenser is heating

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 toad. 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.

cycles. START/PAUSE

Touch and hold until the LED comes on to start a cycle,

or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining (for Automatic Cycles) or actual

time remaining (for Manual Cycles) will be displayed. On

2-digit displays, for times longer than 99 minutes, hours will be displayed followed by minutes.

See "Cycle Guide" for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

Cycle Status Lights

The indicators at the top of the display will let you

know what stage of the drying cycle is in process. For more information on each stage, see "Cycle

Status Indicators."

-/+ (Adjust Drying Time) Touch '%" or "-" with Manual Cycles to increase or

decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Quick Dry cycle. Temp

When using Manual Cycles, you may select a dry

temperature based on the type of load you are drying.

Use the warmest setting safe for the items in the load. Follow garment label instructions.

NOTE: Automatic Cycles use a preset temperature that is not adjustable.

Dryness Level

When using Automatic Cycles, you may select a Dryness Level based on the type of load you are

drying. NOTE: Dryness Level is for use with Automatic

Cycles only.

Damp Dry Signal

Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal. When selected, a series of beeps will sound when the load is damp,

but not completely dry. This will allow you to take

clothes out of the load that do not need to dry completely. This option is available on Heavy Duty,

Normal, Bulky, Casual, Delicates, and Towels cycles.

The Damp Dry Signal is selected as a default for the

Bulky cycle, as a reminder to manually reposition bulky loads midway through the cycle.

Wrinkle Shield TM Option

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately,

touch Wrinkle Shield to add up to 150 minutes of

periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling.

Clean HybridCare TM Filter light Reminds you to clean the HybridCare TM filter after every

5th cycle. Light will reset after filter is cleaned and filter

is put back in cabinet.

HybridCare TM Energy OPTIONS Use to select an available mode for your

dryer. Your HybridCare TM dryer is more efficient in all modes than your typical dryer.

Speed Select this option to save time, but uses more

energy.

Balanced Use this option to blend between cycle time and

energy savings.

Eco

Eco is the default option for all cycles, which

allows you to increase your energy savings by

using a lower heat level. This will increase dry

times.

NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads

and cycles.

OPTIONS

_Drum Light

Touch to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off

automatically after about 5 minutes.

Cycle Signal Use this to turn the signal indicating the end

Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to

lock or unlock the controls of the dryer. During this time, the LED Display will count down 3-2-1. Once

the controls are locked, the LED Display will display

"Lc" or "Loc."

NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the

control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds.

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered. If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default.

Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

Use Automatic Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
