Other Features Your dryer also has the following features for your convenience: Lint Filter:

• All dryers come with a lint filter that needs to be cleaned before or after every use (read Care and Cleaning Guide Section). Leveling Legs:
• Your dryer has four leveling legs which are located in the front and rear corners of your dryer. After installing your dryer in its final position, you can level your dryer.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to lower your dryer or by turning them counterclockwise to raise your dryer. Note: It is very important that you level your dryer to prevent it from moving during operation.

English Normal Operating Sounds Following sounds are normally heard during the operation of the dryer.

• Tumbling sounds. This is normal as the heavy wet clothes in the dryer are continuously being tossed around.
• Air rushing noise. This happens as the dryer drum spins at very high RPM and the air is rushing through the dryer drum.
• Timer clicks may be heard. Tips
• For best drying results, clean the lint filter before every use.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Balance the dryer load evenly throughout the dryer for the best results.
• Drying time depends on many variables: load size, type of fabric and moisture in it, heat and moisture in the room, electric voltage, length of the exhaust duct, etc.
• To eliminate guessing and conserve energy, we recommend for certain clothes to choose and Auto Drying setting.
• Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Lint filter needs to be cleaned before or after each use for your unit to operate at optimum efficiency. The filter can be slid out, by pulling on the tab located on the inside of the dryer door. The filter may be washed or vacuumed. Remove the excess water from the filter by gently shaking the filter. This will remove dust and particles trapped in the filter. Lint build-up in screen restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. After cleaning, slide the filter back in place. DO NOT USE YOUR DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER.

WARNING: Unplug the dryer before cleaning.

• Do not use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning the interior. Hazardous fumes or electric shock could occur.
• Clean cabinet with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners, as this could damage the dryer.
• Clean the duct and the vent on a regular basis to avoid clogging which could affect the efficiency of the dryer.

English TROUBLESHOOTING Dryer does not operate:

• Check if unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.

• Check if the unit is in “Off” mode. Press Start button again after powering on the dryer.
• Check if door is open. Dryer is working but not drying the clothes:
• Unit may be over loaded. The dryer drum should only be half full.
• Check exhaust ducts and vent. Vent should be free of all obstructions.
• Duct should be lint and dust free. Ducts should be cleaned regularly.
• Dryer load needs to be resorted. Heavy clothes may need to be separated from regular clothes.
• Bulky clothes may require repositioning.
• If clothes dry unevenly a higher dry setting may be required or clothes in the dryer may need to be resorted. Dryer making noise when drying:
• Coins, loose change, buttons and other heavy objects could make noise.
• Dryer may need to be leveled evenly. Read Operating Guide – Normal Operating Sounds. Static:
• Caused by over drying. Adjust for shorter drying time.
• Mixed with synthetic fabric. Sort and separate different fabrics.

English INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Select a suitable location for the dryer on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the bottom of the dryer. Unpacking Your Dryer

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all

adhesive tape holding the dryer accessories inside and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packaging, tape or printed

materials before using the dryer. Tools and Materials Required

• Phillips head and flathead screwdrivers
• Channel-lock adjustable pliers

1/2 inch open end wrench

EXHAUST SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

Requirements and Instructions WARNING The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.

1. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build

up inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase dryer times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

2. If the dryer is not exhausted out doors, some fine lint will be expelled into

the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard. To reduce risk of fire, dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

3. Do not allow combustible material (for example: clothing, draperies/curtains,

paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer must not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.

4. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the

“Maximum Length” charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.

5. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws or

rivets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed downstream with the flow of air. Explosion hazard: Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.

English Materials Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper hat open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move freely.

English After installation is completed, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:

1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and

the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.

2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down)

and start the dryer.

3. Read the measurement on the manometer.

4. The system back pressure must not be higher than 0.75 inches

of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable. Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:

1. Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.

2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust

system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.

3. Running the exhaust system through an area not insulated

may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.

4. Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will

cause an increase in vent restriction. The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.

English Location of Your Dryer Do Not Install Your Dryer:

• In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
• In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• On carpet. Floor must be solid with a maximum slope of 1inch (2.54 cm). Installation in Recess or Closet:
• A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or closet, must be exhausted outdoors.
• Your dryer needs the space around it for proper ventilation.
• A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Air openings are required to be unobstructed when a door is installed. A louvered door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the door is acceptable. ROUGH-IN DIMENSIONS

English Installation in Mobile Home

• Dryer must be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.
• If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system must terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure.
• Refer to previous pages for other important venting requirements.
• Installation must conform to current Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard (which is a Federal Regulation Title 24 CFR-Part 32-80) or when such standard is not applicable, with American National Standard for Mobile Homes.
