IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your safety and that of you children

you and all your family.
WARNING -To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

6Tumble Dryer Owner’s Manual
HELPFUL HINTS
This Dryer is a 110 Volt machine, so the heating element requires more time to achieve full heat than
a larger 220 volt unit requires. The heating element will take about 10 minutes to reach full heat.
To dry your laundry, the Dryer blows heated air into the rotating drum. As the drum tumbles your
laundry, the warm air dries it. If the drum is overfilled with laundry, the air is not allowed to circulate
and clothes will not dry properly.
DRYER EFFICIENCY
Your dryer operates on 110 volts and has a dryer heat element is 1,200 watt; It will take a longer time
to dry clothes than a traditional dryer (which operates on 220 volts, 5,000 watts). However, with the
following tips, you can increase the efficiency of the dryer:
1. FABRIC SOFTENER: Prior to putting clothes into the this unit, adding liquid fabric softener (e.g.
Downey®) to the wash load will help improve the drying efficiency by at least 30%.
2. OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 11 lbs (1.67 cu. ft.) With too many clothes, airflow is
reduced, increasing drying time. A maximum of 6.5 lbs or 3/5th of the drum full of clothes is
recommended for ideal drying.
