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:
m Read all instructions before using the dryer.
m 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.
m 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.
I Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is
used near children.
m Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying compartment.
m 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.
[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.

HybridCare TM Heat Pump Technology
A typical dryer uses large amounts of energy; this dryer consumes a fraction of the energy by recycling and reclaiming heat.
The HybridCare TM dryer is a ventless heat pump dryer that uses a refrigeration system to dry and recycle the same air. The
laundry is dried with low temperatures; therefore it may feel cooler than expected during and after the drying process.
The heat pump dryer's heating phase is longer than in traditional dryers. If possible, do not open the dryer door during the
process as heat can escape from the drum and can make longer drying times.
HybridCare TM Heat Pump Unit Benefits of HybridCare TM Heat Pump
• ENERGY: Regenerates energy to reduce overall energy
consumption.
PERFORMANCE: Three available modes allow flexibility to
manage drying performance and energy savings.
FABRIC CARE: Capability to use less heat than vented dryer.
VENTLESS DESIGN: Allows installation in more locations
throughout the home.
New Sounds from HybridCare TM Heat Pump
Dryer runs on a compressor like your refrigerator and you
may notice a hum from the compressor.
The water from wet clothes is pumped out to your drain. You
may notice a gurgling sound occasionally.
O Heat Exchanger/Condenser is heating
up the air
Drying
Air blower is cooling air
Evaporator is cooling and discharging
condensation water
Use 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, heat pump unit temperature, and moisture level are sensed in the toad. This sensing occurs throughout
the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide
optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and can result 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.

Use to dry items to a damp level for items that do
not require an entire drying cycle. Select a drying
temperature based on the type of fabrics in your
load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select
for a load, select the lower setting rather than the
higher setting.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations
noted for each cycle.
Q mall load: Fill the dryer drum with 3-4 items, not more
than 1/4 full.
@Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Do not pack tightly. Items need to tumble freely.

Using Your Dryer
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen
straight up and out. Press tab down and open lint screen.
Roll tint off the screen with your fingers. Push the lint screen
firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT: Clean tint screen before each dryer use as a
screen blocked with lint will increase drying time.
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.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
2, Clean HybridCare TM Filter
Clean the HybridCare TM Filter when light
comes on after every 5 cycles. Open filter
door on bottom of the dryer and grab the
handle to pull out filter. Set filter on the dryer and pull out lint
screen and foam pad on bottom of filter. Roll lint off screen
and foam pad with fingers and place back in filter and then
filter back in filter housing. (There maybe some water in the
filter and this is normal.) For additional cleaning information,
see "Dryer Care."
IMPORTANT: For best drying performance, clean
HybridCare TM Filter after every 5th toad. Light will
reset after filter is cleaned and loaded back into
filter housing.

3. Load the dryer
Open the door by pulling on the handle. Place laundry in
the dryer. Add a dryer sheet to wet load, if desired. Close
the door.
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack the dryer. Items need
to tumble freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor drying
performance and may increase wrinkling and tangling.
Touch POWER to turn on the dryer.
5, Select the desired cycle
NORMAL
Select the desired cycle for your load. See the "Cycle Guide"
for more information about each cycle.
6. Adjust cycle settings, if desired
You may adjust different settings, depending on whether you
have selected an Automatic Cycle or Timed Dry Cycle. See the
"Cycle Guide" for detailed information.
NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles.
Automatic Cycles:
You can select a different dryness level, depending on your
load. Touch DRYNESS LEVEL to scroll to More, Normal, or
Less. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts
the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a
dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping
the cycle.
Automatic Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.
Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and
dryness setting. Drying time is estimated and may change
throughout the cycle. Drying time cannot be changed on
Automatic Cycles.
NOTE: Automatic Cycles use a preset temperature that is
not adjustable.
Timed Dry Cycles:
When you select a Timed Dry Cycle, the time
appears in the display. Touch + and - to
increase or decrease the time in 1 minute
increments. Touch and hold to change the
time in 5 minute increments.
The temperature may be changed by
pressing Temp until the desired dry
temperature is lit. Once a cycle has started, the temperature
can be changed. Cycle time is estimated and may change
throughout the cycle.

that you may wish to hang up or iron while still damp may
be removed.
Cool Down
The dryer has finished drying with heat, and is now tumbling
the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.
Done
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and
the toad may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Shield _'°
option has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble
the load, even if the Done indicator is lit.
Sensing
The Sensing indicator will light during Automatic Cycles to
indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating.
This indicator will not light during Manual Cycles or options
such as Wrinkle Shield.
Wrinkle Shield TM Option
This indicator wilt light if the Wrinkle Shield "_option has been
selected and is running. The dryer will periodically tumble
