DRYER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

NING - ofFi,o..

- Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer,

- install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

- Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal

(foil type) duct, if flexible metal duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified

by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting

materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will

obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

- Save these instructions.

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:

[] Read all instructions before using the dryer.

[] Do 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.

[] Do 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.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is

used near children.

[] Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door to the drying compartment.

[] Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

[] Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed

to the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls.

[] Do 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.

[] Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric

softener or product.

[] Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber=like materials.

[] Clean lint screen before or after each load.

[] Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,

and dirt.

[] The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation

instructions for grounding instructions.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY

1. Do not use or store gasoline or other flammable materials in this appliance or near this appliance.

2. Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.

3. Do not modify this appliance.

Do not dry unwashed items in this dryer.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out

so that the heat is dissipated.

SPECIFICATIONS

These units are sold in multiple regions with different

requirements for measuring capacity. Below are a few

of the valid forms of measure posted on this product:

Dry Linen Capacity: A weight measure that reflects

a maximum load size that can be loaded into the dryer.

Test Capacity: The capacity measure that represents

the capacity at which safety testing was completed.

Dry Linen Capacity

15 kg (33 Ibs)

Test Capacity

9,97 kg (22 Ibs)

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent,

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Good Air Flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently

dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times

and improve your energy savings. See Installation

Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in

good air flow.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered

by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless

of who installed the dryer.

Maintain good air flow by:

[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

[] Replace plastic or foil vent material with 102 mm (4")

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

102mm

(4")

[]

Use the shortest length of vent possible.

Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air flow.

Good Better

[]

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at

least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure

to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your

dryer for final product check.

Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

_Jse 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 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. The dryer will default to Normal Dryness Level to give you optimal dryness

for your load and save energy.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying.

Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

Cieanin 9 the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until

stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and

will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside

out to avoid drum staining.

Removing accumulated lint

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done

by a qualified servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.

A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen

with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to

remove lint.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

[] Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,

damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause

overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

[] If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See

"Venting Requirements."

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:

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.

d'air ad6quate pour s6cher efficacement le linge. Une

ventilation ad6quate r6duit les dur6es de s6chage et accroft

les 6conomies d'6nergie. Voir les Instructions d'installation.

Le syst_me d'6vacuation fix6 au s_che-linge joue un r61e

important dans la circulation de I'air.

Les interventions de d6pannage caus6es par une ventilation

incorrecte ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie et seront

h la charge du client, quel que soit I'installateur

du s_che-linge.

Maintenir une bonne circulation d'air

en effectuant ies operations suivantes •

[] Nettoyer le filtre _.pehches avant chaque charge.

[] Remplacer le mat6riau de conduits d'6vacuation en

plastique ou en ahminium par des conduits d'6vacuation

Iourds et rigides de 102 mm (4") de diametre.

[] Toujours employer les conduits d'6vacuation les plus

courts possible.

[] Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes/_ 90 ° dans un

circuit d'6vacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe

r6duit le flux d'air.

Bon Mieux

[] Retirer les pehches et les r6sidus du clapet d'6vacuation.

[] Retirer les pehches sur toute la Iongueur du circuit

d'6vacuation au moins tousles 2 ans. Apr_s le

nettoyage, veuillez suivre les instructions d'installation

fournies avec le s_che-linge pour une v6rification finale

de I'appareil.

[] D6gager tout article qui se trouverait devant

le s_che-linge.

Utilisation des programmes automatiques pour un rneiileur soin du tissu

et davantage d'_conornies d'_nergie

Utiliser les Automatic Cycles (programmes automatiques) pour r_aliser un maximum d'_conomies d'_nergie et pour que le

s_cheqinge apporte un soin sup_rieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes automatiques, la temperature de s_chage de I'air et

le niveau d'humidit_ sont d_tect_s dans la charge. Cette d_tection se produit tout au long du programme de s_chage et le

s_che-linge s'_teint Iorsque la charge atteint le degr_ de s_chage s_lectionn_. Le seche-linge passera au r_glage par d_faut de

niveau de s_chage normal pour un niveau de s_chage optimal de la charge, et pour vous permettre d'_conomiser de I'_nergie.

Avec Timed Dry (s_chage minute), le seche-linge fonctionne pendant la dur_e r_gl_e, ce qui peut parfois entra?ner le

r_tr_cissement ou le froissement du linge, et I'accumulation d'_lectricit_ statique due au s_chage excessif. Utiliser le s_chage

minut_ pour une charge encore humide n_cessitant un peu de temps suppl_mentaire ou Iorsqu'on utilise la grille de s_chage.
