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:
νRead all instructions before using the dryer.
νDo 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. .
νDo not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
νDo not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
νBefore the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the drying compartment.
νDo not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
νDo not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
νDo not tamper with controls.
νDo not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in
this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
νDo not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
νDo not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
νClean lint screen before or after each load.
νKeep the grille on the rear of the dryer free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
νThe interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
νSee “Electrical Requirements” in “Installation Instructions” for grounding instructions.

Heat Pump Technology
A typical dryer uses large amounts of energy; this dryer consumes a fraction of the energy by recycling and reclaiming heat. This 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: Allows 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 a 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 or water tank. 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, 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.

Using Your Dryer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
1. Empty water tank
Hold the handle and carefully pull out the water tank. Holding the full water tank with both hands, empty out the water. Then push the container back into place. Make sure that it is properly inserted.
2. Clean door lint screen
Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen straight up and out. Press tab down and open lint screen. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT: Clean lint screen before each dryer use as a screen blocked with lint will increase drying time.
3. Clean bottom filter
Clean the bottom filter after every 5 cycles. Open the filter door on the bottom of the dryer and grab the handle to pull out filter. Remove the foam from the bottom filter. Clean the filter foam and filter by hand or rinse with water – do not wash the filter foam in a washer. Wring out the filter foam – do not insert it in the bottom filter dripping wet. For additional cleaning information, see “Dryer Care.”
Replace the filter foam on the bottom filter. Replace the bottom filter in the filter chamber. Fold the filter handle down and close the bottom door.
NOTE: To turn off the “Clean bottom filter” (
) status indicator, the filter must be removed and replaced with the Power button touched ON and no cycle running.

4. Load dryer
Open the door by pulling on the handle. Place laundry in the dryer. Add a dryer sheet to wet load if desired. Close the door.
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack the dryer. Items need to tumble freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor drying performance and may increase wrinkling and tangling.

If you do not want to begin a cycle immediately, you may choose the Delay Start option. This will delay the start of the drying cycle by up to 23 hours.
To set a Delayed Start:
1.Touch the Delay Start button to set the desired delay time.
2.Turn the knob to the number of hours you want to delay the start of the drying cycle. The delay time will appear on the display. Press the knob to confirm your selection.
After touching the Start/Pause button, the time will count down until the delay time has been reached. The dryer will start and the display will show the remaining time in the cycle.

As you turn the knob, the option symbols above the Options button will light up one at a time as you turn the knob. Stop turning when the symbol of the desired option lights up. Press the knob to confirm your selection.
*Not all options and settings are available with all program/ cycles. See “Program/Cycle Guide” for available options and settings.
12. Touch Start/Pause button to begin drying program/cycle
Touch the Start/Pause button to start the drying program/ cycle. To pause a program/cycle in progress, touch the Start/ Pause button once, then touch again to continue the program/ cycle. To cancel a program/cycle, touch the Power button.
13. Touch Power button to turn off dryer after program/cycle ends
When the display indicates that the cycle has finished, touch the Power button to turn off the dryer. Open the door and take out your laundry.
To save energy, the dryer turns off automatically about a quarter hour after the program/cycle ends.
If not turned off right after the program/cycle ends, the dryer will tumble the laundry for about 10 minutes to prevent wrinkling. The display shows an animation.
NOTE: If the Power button is touched and held, a countdown will be displayed. At the end of the countdown, any errors will be erased and the program/cycle will restart.
14. Remove garments promptly after cycle is finished
Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to reduce wrinkling.
Adapting the dryer to water conductivity
The drying results are affected by the conductivity of the water used during washing. If, by modifying the available dryness levels (damp dry, dry, and extra dry), you are not satisfied with the final drying results, you can adapt the water conductivity level. The dryer comes with preset level 3. Choose between level 1 (most damp results) and 5 (most dry results).
1. Touch and hold the Program button. The |
P |
|
display will count down until the Conductivity |
||
Adjustment symbol on the display flashes |
Program |
|
3 Sec |
||
and the current setting is shown. |
||
|
2.Turn the knob to adjust the level (1-2-3-4-5). Press the knob to confirm your selection.
NOTE: This new setting will affect all future cycles. If the desired drying results are attained, water conductivity will not require further adjustment.
