What are Sensor Dry and Manual Dry?

Your dryer provides sensor drying and manual drying programs.

Sensor Dry Dryer electronically senses laundry moisture level and it automatically determines operation time based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or decrease of operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period. Sudden change of operation time is not a malfunction.

Manual Dry Manual Dry allows you to set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Manual Dry if clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Manual Dry is more effective for heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.

3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use as transition ducting between the dryer and and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time.

4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
5. To maximize operating results, please observe the duct length limitations noted in the chart above.

Xhaust Requirements And Maintenance

Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance

WARNING!

Disconnect the dryer's electric power prior to any cleaning or maintenance.

1. After one year of use, the interior and complete exhaust system of the dryer should be examined and cleaned if necessary.

2. Before one year of use, when drying performance has become unsatisfactory, please examine and clean the exhaust duct for better drying performance.

3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure the dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against the dampers.

4. A qualified service person or company should be used to perform this maintenance.

5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost, can be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed in hard to reach places. This Kit comes in two pieces, one of which is attached to the dryer and the other is attached to the wall exhaust outlet. Following attachment of the two separate pieces to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may be returned to its final position, after which the two pieces themselves can be connected.

6. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care. Wipe the exterior of the dryer as required, and always wipe the exterior of the dryer in the event any detergent, bleach, or other washing products is spilled on the dryer.

7. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products may damage the finish of the control panel.

8. Please clean the lint filter either before drying each load or after drying each load.

9. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may increase drying times.

10. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to the vacuum duct. See item #2 above.

11. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer, because wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your dryer.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load or after drying each load. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may increase drying times.
2. To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll any lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
3. Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose lint screen may cause overheating and damage to the dryer and articles being dried.
4. Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than others (towels for example), causing the Lint Screen to rapidly fill. Remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying these articles, such as new towels.
5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust hood and remove any lint.
6. Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off the screen. In order to prevent this type of build up, and help ensure proper operation of your dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months or, if necessary, more frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as follows:
   a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or warm water.
   b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric softener.
   c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen with hot water.
   d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel, firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.

6.Problem:The drying time is not consistent

Question	What to Do
• Are you using consistent heat settings and consistent load sizes?	The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filer.

7.Problem:It takes too long for my clothes to dry

Question	What to Do
Did you properly sort your loads of laundry?	Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads.
Are you drying large loads of heavy fabrics?	Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Are the dryer controls properly set?	Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
Is the lint filter clean before each new load of laundry?	Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry.
Are the exhaust ducts clear and properly configured?	Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not pushed in, and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit breaker tripped?	Check your home's or laundry room's fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Did you overload your dryer?	Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads.
Did you under load your dryer?	If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure proper tumbling action.

8.Problem:My clothes are wrinkled

Question	What to Do
·Are you over drying your laundry?	Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
·Are you removing your laundry from the dryer soon after the drying cycle is complete?	Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or fold the items.

9.Problem:My clothes are shrinking

Question	What to Do
• Are you following the care instructions for your garment?	To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer.
