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,
heat pump unit temperature and 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. 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.

Heat Pump Technology
A typical dryer uses large amounts of energy; this dryer consumes a fraction of the energy by recycling and reclaiming heat.
This 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.
Benets of a Heat Pump
• ENERGY: Regenerates energy to reduce overall energy
consumption.
• PERFORMANCE: Allows 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 a 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 or
water tank. You may notice a gurgling sound occasionally.

Using Your Dryer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
1. Empty water tank
Hold the handle and carefully pull out the water tank.
Holding the full water tank with both hands, empty out the
water. Then push the container back into place. Make sure
that it is properly inserted.
2. Clean door lint screen
Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen
straight up and out. Press tab down and open lint screen.
Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Push the lint screen
firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT: Clean lint screen before each dryer use
as a screen blocked with lint will increase drying time.
3. Clean bottom lter
Clean the bottom filter after every 5 cycles. Open the filter
door on the bottom of the dryer and grab the handle to pull
out filter. Remove the foam from the bottom filter. Clean the
filter foam and filter by hand or rinse with water – do not
wash the filter foam in a washer. Wring out the filter foam –
do not insert it in the bottom filter dripping wet. For additional
cleaning information, see “Dryer Care.”
Replace the filter foam on the bottom filter. Replace the
bottom filter in the filter chamber. Fold the filter handle down
and close the bottom door.
NOTE: To turn off the “Clean bottom filter” ( ) status
indicator, the filter must be removed and replaced with the
Power button touched ON and no cycle running.

5. Touch Power button to turn on dryer
4. Load 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.
6. Select program/cycle
Turn the knob to select a program/cycle for your laundry load.
As you turn the knob, an indicator light will light up next to
the program/cycle names to the left of the knob. Stop turning
when the indicator next to the desired program/cycle lights up.
Press the knob to confirm your selection.
See “Program/Cycle Guide” for details on program/cycle
