■Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
Do not operate dryer without lint screen in place.
■Keep area around the exhaust and inlet openings 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 Installation Instructions for earthing instructions.
■WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a
circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
■Do not dry unwashed items in this dryer.
■The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool
down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures the items will not be damaged.
■Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles, and clothes
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads must only be dried on a
clothesline.
■If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
■WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer cycle before the end
of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
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:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■Keep a minimum clearance of 100 mm (4") between the rear
of the dryer and any wall.
■The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of appliances which take their air supply for safe
combustion from the same room. There has to be adequate
ventilation to replace exhausted air and thus avoid the back-
flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires, when operating the tumble dryer.
If in doubt, consult the appliance manufacturers.
■Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see Installation
Instructions for minimum clearances).
■Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The
items become warm causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or
storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and
so create a fire hazard.
■To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final
part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down
period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
■If it is unavoidable to dry in the dryer items that have been
soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers, or that have been contaminated by hair care
products, they should be washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the dryer. These
items may give off vapours that could ignite or explode. Such
washing will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
■This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children under 8 years of age) with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instructions
concerning use of the appliance by persons responsible for
their safety.
■Cleaning and user maintenance by children must be
supervised.
■Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
■Children less than 3 years of age should be kept away from
the appliance unless continuously supervised.
■The dryer should not be used if industrial chemicals have been
used for cleaning.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
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.
To maintain good air flow:
Good Better
USE AUTOMATIC DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Dry cycles,
drying air temperature or 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 Energy Preferred cycle will provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use
Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.
■Clean your lint screen before each load.
■Replace plastic or foil vent material with 102 mm (4")
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■
4"
102 mm
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.
■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.

DRYER CARE
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would
block the air flow for proper dryer operation. This includes
clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
Cleaning the lint screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by lint
can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the screen
with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen
to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
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” in the Installation Instructions.
■Clean space where
lint screen is located, as
needed. Using a vacuum,
gently remove any lint that
has accumulated outside
of the lint screen.
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.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
Cleaning 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 dryer location
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.

the amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum Dryer fabric softener not properly used. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the
cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried
load can stain your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled Load not removed from dryer at the end
of the cycle. Select Wrinkle Control feature to tumble the load without heat to avoid wrinkling.
Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce the
chance of wrinkles forming.
Odors You have recently been painting, staining,
or varnishing in the area where your dryer
is located.
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are
gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The electric dryer is being used for the
first time. The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.
Load is too hot Laundry items removed from the dryer
before the end of the cycle. Allow Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce
wrinkling and make it easier to handle. Items removed
before Cool Down may feel very warm.
A high temperature cycle was used,
or a separate temperature control was
set on High.
Select a lower temperature and use an automatic drying
cycle. These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture
level in the load and shut off when the load reaches the
selected dryness. This reduces overdrying.

3. NO MODIFIQUE EL APARATO.
■Retire todos los objetos que haya en los bolsillos, como
mecheros y cerillas, antes de introducir las prendas en la
secadora.
■Antes de retirar del servicio o desechar la secadora, extraiga la
puerta de su compartimento.
■No introduzca las manos en la secadora si el tambor está en
movimiento. Hay un interruptor de puerta para su seguridad.
■No instale ni almacene la secadora donde esté expuesta a la
intemperie.
■No manipule los mandos.
■Interrumpa el uso del equipo si presenta algún fallo.
■No repare ni reemplace ninguna pieza de la secadora ni
intente realizar ningún mantenimiento a menos que se
recomiende específicamente en la Guía de uso y cuidado. Las
reparaciones y el mantenimiento deben estar exclusivamente a
cargo de técnicos competentes.
■No utilice suavizantes ni productos para eliminar la estática a
menos que lo recomiende el fabricante del suavizante o del
producto. Siga sus instrucciones.
■Limpie el filtro de pelusas de la secadora antes o después
de cada carga. No use la secadora sin el filtro de pelusas
instalado.
■Mantenga la zona alrededor de la salida, de las aberturas de
ventilación y de las zonas adyacentes sin pelusas, polvo ni
suciedad.
■La limpieza periódica del interior de la secadora y de la salida
de aire debe estar a cargo de personal de servicio cualificado.
■Consulte en las instrucciones de instalación el método de
conexión a tierra.
■ADVERTENCIA: La alimentación del equipo no debe
suministrarla ningún dispositivo de conmutación externo, como
un temporizador, ni conectarse a algún circuito que un servicio
público encienda y apague periódicamente.
■No seque en la secadora objetos sin lavar.
■La parte final del ciclo de la secadora sucede sin calor (ciclo
de enfriamiento) para garantizar que los objetos queden a una
temperatura que no les provoque daños.
■Los productos con gomaespuma (espuma de látex), gorros

goma y prendas o almohadas con gomaespuma solo deben
secarse en un tendedero.
■Si se daña el cable de suministro eléctrico, deberá sustituirlo
el fabricante, su personal de servicio o una persona cualificada
para evitar riesgos.
■ADVERTENCIA: No detenga la secadora antes de finalizar
el ciclo de secado a no ser que saque y extienda todos los
artículos rápidamente para disipar el calor.
INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD
ADVERTENCIA: Para reducir los riesgos de incendio, descarga eléctrica o daños personales al utilizar la secadora, adopte precau-
ciones básicas, incluidas las siguientes:
CONSERVE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
■Lea todas las instrucciones antes de utilizar
la secadora.
■Mantenga una separación de 100 mm (4") como mínimo entre
la parte posterior de la secadora y la pared.
■El funcionamiento de este equipo puede afectar al de otros
tipos de aparatos que aspiren del mismo recinto el aire para
una combustión segura. En el lugar donde se utilice la secadora
debe haber una ventilación adecuada que sustituya el aire de
salida y evite así el reflujo de gases al recinto, procedentes de
aparatos que quemen otros combustibles o de chimeneas. Si
tiene alguna duda, consulte al fabricante del equipo.
■No obstruya la entrada de aire a la secadora (consulte las
separaciones mínimas en las instrucciones de instalación).
■No coloque artículos que hayan estado expuestos a aceites
de cocina en su secadora. Los objetos que hayan estado en
contacto con aceite pueden inflamarse de manera espontánea,
sobre todo si se exponen a fuentes de calor, como una
secadora. Los objetos se calientan y provocan una reacción de
oxidación en el aceite. La oxidación crea calor. Si el calor no
tiene salida, los objetos pueden calentarse lo suficiente como
para arder. Apilar o almacenar artículos contaminados con
aceite puede impedir la salida del calor y crear así un riesgo de
incendio.
■Para reducir el riesgo de incendio debido a cargas
contaminadas, la parte final de un ciclo de secadora se
produce sin calor (periodo de enfriamiento). No detenga la
secadora antes de finalizar el ciclo de secado a no ser que
saque y extienda todos los artículos rápidamente para disipar
el calor.
■Si es inevitable secar en la secadora objetos que se hayan
contaminado con sustancias tales como aceite de cocina,
acetona, alcohol, gasolina, queroseno, quitamanchas,
aguarrás, ceras o quitaceras, o que se hayan contaminado con
productos para el cabello, se deben lavar en agua caliente
con una cantidad adicional de detergente antes de secarlos.
Dichos elementos pueden desprender vapores capaces
de arder o estallar. El lavado indicado reducirá, aunque no
eliminará, el riesgo.
■Este equipo no está pensado para que lo utilicen personas
(incluidos niños de menos de 8 años de edad) con discapacidad
física, sensorial o mental, o con falta de experiencia y de
conocimientos, a menos que estén supervisadas o reciban
instrucciones adecuadas sobre la utilización del equipo por parte
de personas responsables de su seguridad.
■Se debe supervisar la limpieza y el mantenimiento de usuario
realizados por niños.
■Es necesaria la supervisión de los niños para asegurarse de
que no jueguen con el equipo.
■Es necesario mantener alejados del equipo a los niños
menores de 3 años, salvo que reciban una supervisión
constante.
■No se debe utilizar la secadora si se han empleado productos
químicos industriales para la limpieza.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
precautions, including the following:
WARNING:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
Keep a minimum clearance of 100 mm (4 in.) between the
rear of the dryer and any wall.
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of appliances which take their air supply for safe
combustion from the same room. There has to be adequate
ventilation to replace exhausted air and thus avoid the
back-ow of gases into the room from appliances burning
other fuels, including open res, when operating the tumble
dryer. If in doubt, consult the appliance manufacturers.
Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see Installation
Instructions for minimum clearances).
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The
items become warm causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a re hazard.
If it is unavoidable to dry in the dryer items that have been
soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers, or that have been contaminated by hair care
products, should be washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the dryer. These
items may give off vapours that could ignite or explode. Such
washing will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instructions concerning
use of the appliance by persons responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
The dryer should not be used if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the doors to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. A door
switch is tted for your safety.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not continue to use this appliance if it appears to be
faulty.
Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt
any maintenance unless specically recommended in this
Use and Care Guide. Repairs and servicing should only
be carried out by competent service personnel.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product. Follow their instructions.
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load. Do not
operate dryer without lint screen in place.
Keep area around the exhaust and inlet openings 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 qualied service personnel.
See Installation Instructions for earthing instructions.
Do not dry unwashed items in this dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows tted with foam rubber pads must only be dried
on a clothesline.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer cycle before the
end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures the items will not be damaged.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied
person in order to avoid a hazard.

REVISE EL SISTEMA DE VENTILACIÓN PARA COMPROBAR SI EL FLUJO DE
AIRE ES ADECUADO
Flujo de aire adecuado
Además de calor, las secadoras necesitan un buen flujo de
aire para realizar un secado eficaz. Una ventilación adecuada
reduce los tiempos de secado y aumenta el ahorro de energía.
Consulte las instrucciones de instalación.
El sistema de ventilación de la secadora desempeña un papel
fundamental para lograr un flujo de aire correcto.
La garantía no cubre las llamadas al servicio técnico respecto
a la ventilación incorrecta y correrán a cargo del cliente, con
independencia de quién haya instalado la secadora.
Para mantener un flujo de aire adecuado:
Bien Mejor
UTILICE CICLOS DE SECADO AUTOMÁTICO PARA UN MEJOR CUIDADO DE LA
ROPA Y PARA AHORRAR ENERGÍA
Use los ciclos de Automatic Dry (secado automático) para conseguir de la secadora el máximo ahorro energético y el mejor cuidado de
la ropa. Durante los ciclos de secado automático, en la carga se detecta la temperatura del aire de secado o el nivel de humedad.
Esa detección se produce a lo largo de todo el ciclo de secado y la secadora se apaga cuando la carga alcanza el secado seleccionado.
El ciclo de Energy Preferred (ahorro de energía) permite un óptimo ahorro de energía.
Con Timed Dry (secado programado), la secadora funciona durante el tiempo fijado y, en algunos casos, el exceso de secado puede
provocar encogimiento o arrugas de la ropa y la acumulación de electricidad estática. Use el secado programado ocasionalmente con
cargas húmedas que requieran tiempo de secado adicional o cuando emplee la rejilla de secado.
■Limpie el filtro de pelusas antes de cada carga.
■Sustituya el material del conducto de ventilación de plástico
o de lámina por un material pesado y rígido de 102 mm (4")
de diámetro.
■
4"
102 mm
Use el conducto de ventilación más corto que sea posible.
■No utilice codos de más de 90° en el sistema de
ventilación, ya que cada codo y curva restringe el flujo de
aire.
■Retire de la campana de salida las pelusas y desechos.
■Retire las pelusas del sistema de ventilación en toda su
extensión al menos cada dos años. Cuando finalice la
limpieza, consulte las instrucciones de instalación
suministradas con la secadora para la comprobación final de
producto.
■Retire los objetos que pueda haber delante de la secadora.
