of the washer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

12" Pedestal

Color-matched pedestals raise the

washer and dryer to a more comfortable

working height.

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.

Load Size Recommendations

For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more

than ¼ full.

Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about ½ full.

Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about ¾ full.

Do not pack tightly. Items need to tumble freely.

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

features.
