FOR YOUR SAFETY
1. DO NOT USE OR STORE PETROL 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.
■The dryer should not be used if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.
■Remove all objects from pockets, such as lighters and
matches, before placing items in the dryer.
■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.
■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.
■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.
■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.
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 re, 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 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 manu-
facturers.
■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. To reduce
the risk of re due to contaminated loads, the nal 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. 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, alco-
hol, 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 (includ-
ing 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 super-
vised.
■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.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Good air ow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently
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 ow.
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.
WARNING
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.
To maintain good air ow:
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.
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 sys-
tem at least every 2 years. When cleaning is com-
plete, 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 ow 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 ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen
to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen rmly 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 ngers.
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, nonammable 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 qualied servicer.
From the exhaust vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.

If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily; drying times
are too long
Lint screen or lint screen housing is
clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load. Clean space where lint screen is located, as needed. Using a vacuum, gently
remove any lint that has accumulated outside of the lint
screen.
The Air Fluff/Air Dry cycle or No Heat
temperature setting has been selected. Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. See “Cycle Guide.”
Load too large and heavy to dry quickly. Separate the load to tumble freely.
Exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood
clogged with lint, restricting air movement. Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you
do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint
or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or exible
metal vent. Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked.
See Installation Instructions.
Fabric softener sheets blocking the grille. Use only one fabric softener sheet and use it only once.
Exhaust vent not the correct length. Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has
too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.
Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. See Installation
Instructions.
Exhaust vent diameter not the
correct size. Use 102mm (4") diameter vent material.
Dryer located in a room with
temperature below 7ºC (45ºF). Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 7ºC (45ºF).
Dryer located in a closet without adequate
opening. Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires
a minimum of 25mm (1") of airspace and, for most
installations, the rear of the dryer requires 127mm (5").
See Installation Instructions.

problem continues, call an electrician.
Incorrect power supply. Electric dryers require 240 volt power supply. Check with
a qualied electrician.
Wrong type of fuse. Use a time-delay fuse.
Unusual sounds Dryer had a period of non-use. If the dryer hasn’t been used for awhile, there may be a
thumping sound during the rst few minutes of operation.
A coin, button, or paper clip is caught
between the drum and front or rear of
the dryer.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small
objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.
It is a gas dryer. The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
The four legs are not installed, or the dryer
is not level front to back and side to side. The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed.
See Installation Instructions.
Clothing knotted or balled up. When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer
to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
No heat Household fuse is blown or circuit breaker
has tripped. The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers.
Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
Supply line valve not open. For gas dryers, make sure the supply line valve is open.
Incorrect power supply. Electric dryers require 240 volt power supply.
Check with a qualied electrician.
TROUBLESHOOTING

12
TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Cycle time too short Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips.
Level the dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level
setting on Automatic Dry cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change
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
rst time. The new electric heating element may have an odor.
The odor will be gone after the rst cycle.
Load is too hot Laundry items removed from the dryer
before the end of the cycle. Allow Cool Down cycle to nish 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.

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.
■Laisser un dégagement minimal de 100mm (4po)
entre l’arrière de la sécheuse et les éventuelles parois
environnantes.
■L’utilisation de cet appareil peut affecter celle d’autres
appareils dont la source d’approvisionnement en air
se fait dans la même pièce pour une combustion sans
danger. Lorsqu’on utilise la sécheuse, une aération
adéquate est nécessaire pour renouveler l’air rejeté et
pour éviter le retour dans la pièce de gaz en provenance
d’appareils ménagers utilisant d’autres carburants comme
combustible, y compris les feux ouverts. En cas de doute,
consulter le fabricant de l’appareil.
■Ne pas obstruer l’alimentation en air de la sécheuse
(voir les instructions d’installation pour les dégagements
minimaux).
■Ne pas placer d’articles tâchés d’huile de cuisson dans la
sécheuse. Des articles ayant été au contact d’huile peuvent
s’enammer spontanément, surtout s’ils sont exposés
à des sources de chaleur, comme celle que produit une
sécheuse. Les articles peuvent chauffer, entraînant une
réaction d’oxydation de l’huile. Le phénomène d’oxydation
crée de la chaleur. Si la chaleur ne peut pas s’échapper,
les articles peuvent devenir sufsamment chauds pour
prendre feu. Pour réduire le risque d’incendie dû à des
charges contaminées, la partie nale du programme de
séchage par culbutage s’effectue sans chaleur (période
de refroidissement). Éviter d’arrêter une sécheuse pendant
le culbutage avant la n du programme de séchage, à
moins de retirer et d’étendre rapidement tous les articles
an que la chaleur se dissipe. Le fait d’empiler, d’entasser
ou d’entreposer des articles ayant été au contact d’huile
peut empêcher la chaleur de s’échapper et créer un risque
d’incendie.
■Si on doit faire sécher dans la sécheuse des articles ayant
été souillés par des substances telles que de l’huile de
cuisson, de l’acétone, de l’alcool, du pétrole, du kérosène,
des produits détachants, de la térébenthine, de la cire, du
décapant pour cire ou des produits de coiffure, les laver à
l’eau chaude avec un supplément de détergent avant de
les sécher dans la sécheuse. Ces articles sont susceptibles
de dégager des vapeurs qui pourraient s’enammer ou
exploser. Les laver ainsi au préalable permet de réduire,
mais non de supprimer ce risque.
■Cet appareil ne convient pas à une utilisation par des
personnes (y compris des enfants de moins de 8 ans) à
capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales réduites, ou
possédant un manque d’expérience et de connaissances,
à moins qu’elles ne soient placées sous supervision ou
qu’elles aient reçu des instructions concernant l’utilisation
de l’appareil par une personne responsable de leur sécurité.
■Le nettoyage et l’entretien par des enfants doivent être
supervisés.
■Les enfants doivent être placés sous surveillance an de
s’assurer qu’ils ne jouent pas avec l’appareil.
■Les enfants de moins de 3ans doivent être tenus à
l’écart de l’appareil s’ils ne peuvent pas être surveillés en
permanence.

VÉRIFICATION D’UNE CIRCULATION D’AIR ADÉQUATE POUR LE SYSTÈME
D’ÉVACUATION
Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air
en effectuant les opérations suivantes :
■Nettoyer le filtre à charpie avant chaque charge.
■Remplacer le matériau de conduits d’évacuation en
plastique ou en aluminium par des conduits d’évacuation
lourds et rigides de 102 mm (4") de diamètre.
■Toujours employer les conduits d’évacuation les plus
courts possible.
■Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes à 90° dans un
circuit d’évacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe
réduit le flux d’air.
■Retirer la charpie et les résidus du clapet d’évacuation.
■Retirer la charpie sur toute la longueur du circuit
d’évacuation au moins tous les 2 ans. Après le
nettoyage, veuillez suivre les instructions d’installation
fournies avec le sèche-linge pour une vérification finale
de l’appareil.
■Dégager tout article qui se trouverait devant
le sèche-linge.
CIRCULATION D’AIR ADÉQUATE
Un sèche-linge a besoin de chaleur et d’une circulation
d’air adéquate pour sécher efcacement le linge. Une
ventilation adéquate réduit les durées de séchage et accroît
les économies d’énergie. Voir les Instructions d’installation.
Le système d’évacuation xé au sèche-linge joue un rôle
important dans la circulation de l’air.
Les interventions de dépannage causées par une ventilation
incorrecte ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie et seront
à la charge du client, quel que soit l’installateur du
sèche-linge.
UTILISATION DES PROGRAMMES AUTOMATIQUES POUR UN MEILLEUR SOIN
DU TISSU ET DAVANTAGE D’ÉCONOMIES D’ÉNERGIE
Risque d’incendie
Utiliser un conduit d’évacuation en métal lourd.
Ne pas utiliser un conduit d’évacuation en plastique.
Ne pas utiliser un conduit d’évacuation en feuille
de métal.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut causer
un décès ou un incendie.
AVERTISSEMENT
Bon Mieux
Utiliser les programmes de séchage automatique pour réaliser un maximum d’économies d’énergie et pour que la sécheuse
apporte un soin supérieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes de séchage automatique, la température de séchage de l’air ou le
niveau d’humidité sont détectés dans la charge. Cette détection se produit tout au long du programme de séchage et la sécheuse
s’éteint lorsque la charge atteint le degré de séchage sélectionné.
Avec l’option de séchage minuté, la sécheuse fonctionne pendant la durée réglée, ce qui peut parfois entraîner le rétrécissement
ou le froissement des vêtements et l’accumulation d’électricité statique due au séchage excessif. Utiliser le séchage minuté pour
une charge encore humide nécessitant un peu de temps supplémentaire ou lors de l’utilisation de la grille de séchage.
