STAINLESS STEELDRUM Stainless steel drum doesn't generate any rust by nature so that rust-free drum keeps clothes away from stain all time. ARTISTIC DESIGN Modern front panel look and big crystal-clear glass door make your dryer look stylish. DIGITAL FABRIC CARE Multi-Level temperature control takes better care of your clothes EASY OF USE An entire selection of user-friendly USING THE RLM (REMOTE LAUNDRY functions make operating MONITOR) the dryer easy. (DLE5944WM, DLG5955WM) The RLM monitors status of your washer and/or dryer. You can plug the display unit into any power outlet in your home. The RLM Display Unit can be purchased separately for this dryer. Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs. Sensor Dry : Dryer senses electronically laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or decrease on operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period. Sudden change on operation time is not a malfunction. Time Dry : Time Dry is that you can set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Time Dry to have drying performance if clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes. PART1. SPECIFICATIONS PART2.

In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance IBr electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING - Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding on the appliance. terminal or lead _, WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: • Do not try to light a match on any gas or electrical or cigarette, or turn appliance. • Do not touch any electrical switches. use any phone in your building.
