IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
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 appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
Before
the appliance is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do
not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-
maintenance instructions 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 appliance and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
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. 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.
Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at
home using a 3D printer).
See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements
and installation.
Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
NOTE: The booster fan warning does not apply to clothes
dryers intended to be installed in a multiple clothes dryer
system, with an engineered exhaust duct system that is
installed per the clothes dryer manufacturer's guidelines.

Fabric Care
Easy Iron
Brief program (approximately
20 minutes) that softens fibers
of clothing that is ready for
ironing.
Important: This is not a drying
program (see below).
Always allow the dryer to
complete this phase.
This is the final phase of all programs.
Approximately 10 minutes before
the finish, the knob advances
automatically to the Air Fluff phase.
After this the clothing is ready to be
taken out.
Heating elements turn
themselves off and clothing is
cooled down.

Fabric Care
Auto Dry
Easy Iron Program
Easy Iron is a short 20 minute program (5 minutes cool then 10 minutes of heat followed by a 5 minute Air Fluff
period) which fluffs the fibers of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of
time. The cycle relaxes the fibers and makes them easier to iron and fold.
Easy Iron is not a drying program and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best results:
1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric Maximum load
Regular Cotton and Regular Cotton mix 5.5 lb / 2.5 kg
Permanent Press 4 lb / 2 kg
Denim 4 lb / 2 kg
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the program, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away.
Should this not be possible, repeat the program.
The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Regular Cottons
or Regular Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibers.

tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are
the most common:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
What not to tumble dry in your dryer:
WARNING
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Do not dry items containing foam, rubber, or plastic in
this dryer.
Doing so can result in death or fire.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
• Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure that
the articles can be tumble dried.
• Sort laundry by fabric type.
• Empty pockets and check buttons.
• Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and
strings.
• Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much
excess water as possible.
Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.
• Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials
or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear),
any other flammable objects or objects that contain
flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).
• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
• Items which have been dry cleaned.
• Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items)
. These can be cleaned with special at-home dry
cleaning products. Follow instructions completely.
• Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through the
dryer.
Maximum load size
Do not load more than maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to dry weight:
Natural fibres: 6 kg max (13 lb)
Synthetic fibres: 3 kg max (6.6 lb)
Do not overload the dryer as this could result in
reduced drying performance.

Laundry
Special clothing items
Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special
care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long
period of time.
Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s
drying instructions on the garment.
Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched
items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution
is removed from the load as possible before placing
it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become
powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats
the purpose of starch.
Sample Dry Loads*
Sample Load 1: RV Sheet Set
Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty
Dry Time: 70-90 minutes (add 15 min. for std. sheets)
1 Flat Sheet (90”x102” / all 230 thread count)
1 Fitted Sheet (60”x80”)
2 Standard Pillowcases (21”x32”)
Sample Load 2:
Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty
Dry Time: 90-120 minutes
3 Pairs Jeans (35” waist / 32” inseam)
2 Wash Cloths (13”x13”)
1 Pair Boxer Shorts
6 Hand Towels (16”x28”)
Sample Load 3:
Wash Cycle: Regular Cotton Heavy Duty
Dry Time: 120-140 minutes
3 Pairs Jeans (35” waist / 32” inseam)
1 Large Sweat Shirt (50% cotton / 50% polyester)
2 Pillowcases (21”x32”)
2 Wash Cloths (13”x13”)
5 Hand Towels (16”x28”)
*Times are approximate and can vary depending
upon:
• Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle:
towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
• Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but
different textures and thicknesses may not have the
same drying time.
• Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may
take longer to dry.
• Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes,
they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others
can be left longer if you need them to be completely
dry.
• Heat setting.
• Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry
your clothes.
• Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with
care. We suggest that you remove these items
several times, shake them out, and return them to the
dryer until finished.
Do not over-dry your clothes.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps
them soft and fluffy.

NOTE: This clothes dryer’s Government energy
certifications were based on the Timed Dry/180 Minutes
Cycle, Maximum Drying Temperature Setting.
The as-shipped defaults of Auto, High Heat, were used.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Check the drum after each cycle
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
Cleaning the drum
Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel
cleaning agents to clean the drum.
A color film may start to appear on the stainless steel
drum, this may be caused by a combination of water
and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from
the wash. This colored film will not affect the dryer
performance.
Cleaning the dryer
• External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Periodically check the vent tube and any
permanent venting fixture to make sure that
there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint,
and remove it.
• Remove lint that collects around the filter and the
outlet vents.
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Your dryer uses special bearing components which
do not need lubrication.
Have your dryer checked regularly by authorized
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety.
When you should switch off the electricity
Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it
and during maintenance activities.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important part of your dryer:
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.
Small items could also become trapped in the filter.
When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running
water or with your vacuum
cleaner. Should the filter
become clogged up, the
airflow inside the dryer will
be seriously compromised:
drying times lengthen
and you will consume
more energy. It may also
damage your dryer.
The filter is found in front
of the dryer trim
(see diagram).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of
the filter upwards (see
diagram).
2. Clean the filter in all
its parts, opening it and
removing the lint both
outside and inside.
3. Properly insert the filter
back in place.
Ensure the filter is fully
located flush into the
tumble dryer trim.
Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.

Programme Repassage Simplifié (Easy Iron)
Easy Iron est un court programme de 20 minutes (5 minutes de refroidissement puis 10 minutes de chaleur suivi
d’une période d’aération de 5 minutes) qui aère les fibres des vêtements qui ont été laissés dans la même position/
emplacement pour une période étendue. Le cycle détend les fibres et les rend plus faciles á repasser et á plier.
Easy Iron n’est pas un programme de séchage et doit être utilisé pour des vêtements mouillés.
Pour de meilleurs résultats:
1. Ne dépassez pas la capacité maximale de chargement.
Ces chiffres correspondent á un poids sec:
Tissus Charge maximale, de:
Coton régulier et mélange de coton régulier 2,5 kg / 5,5 lbs
Infroissable 2 kg / 4 lbs
Denim 2 kg / 4 lbs
2. Déchargez immédiatement la sécheuse á la fin du programme, suspendez, pliez ou repassez les articles avant
de les ranger. Si ce n’est pas possible, répétez le programme.
L’effet Easy Iron varie d’un tissu á l’autre. Il fonctionne très bien sur des tissus traditionnels comme Cotons réguliers
ou mélange de cotons réguliers et moins bien sur les fibres acryliques.

AVERTISSEMENT
Trier votre lessive
• Vérifiez les symboles sur les étiquettes de vêtements
pour vous assurez que vos articles peuvent être
séchés á la machine.
• Triez votre lessive par type de tissus.
• Videz les poches et vérifiez les boutons.
• Fermez les fermetures éclair et les crochets et
attachez les ceintures et cordons.
• Tordez chacun des articles afin d’éliminez le plus
d’excédent d’eau possible.
Ne chargez pas la sécheuse de vêtements ruisselants
d’eau.
Quoi ne pas séchez á la machine:
• Articles qui contiennent du caoutchouc ou des
matériaux qui lui ressemblent ou encore des
pellicules de plastique (oreillers, coussins ou
imperméable en PVC), tout autre objet inflammable
ou objet qui contient des substances inflammables
(serviettes souillées de fixatif á cheveux).
• Fibres de verre (certains types de rideaux).
• Articles qui ont été nettoyés á sec.
• Articles comportant le code ITCL (voir
Vêtements spéciaux). Ces derniers peuvent être
nettoyés á l’aide de produits de nettoyage á sec
domestique. Suivez complètement les instructions.
• Les articles volumineux (couettes, sacs de couchage,
oreillers, coussins, grands couvre-lits, etc.). Ceux-ci
prennent de l’expansion lorsqu’ils sèchent et peuvent
entraver la circulation d’air dans la sécheuse.
Peut être séché á la machine
Ne pas sécher á la machine
Séchez á la machine á chaleur élevée
Séchez á la machine á chaluer basse
Laver les vêtements délicats
Examinez les étiquettes de vos vêtements, en particulier
lorsqu’il s’agit d’un premier séchage á la machine. Les
symboles suivants sont les plus communs:
Grosseur de brassée maximale
Ne dépassez pas la capacité maximale de
chargement. Ces chiffres correspondent á un poids
sec:
Fibres naturelles: 6 kg max. (13 lbs)
Fibres synthétiques : 3 kg max. (6.6 lbs)
Ne surchargez pas la sécheuse, ce qui pourrait
diminuer son rendement au séchage.
