EASYOF USE

An entire selection of user-friendly functions make operating the dryer easy.

USING THE RLM (REMOTELAUNDRYMONITOR)

The RLM monitors status of your 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.

DUAL SENSORTECHNOLOGY

It makes it possible to sense even less than a 1 kg load size. So regardless of load weight, more

accurate sensing is ensured.

Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.

Sensor Dry : Dryer electronically sense 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 in operation time.

It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity within a certain period. Sudden change in operation time is not a

malfunction.

Time Dry : You can manualy set drying time to complete drying. Use dry 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.

Following are important instructions and information concerning the requirements for the gas supply and service for

gas dryers. _ hnportant Warning: The gas supply and service for a gas dryer must comply with all local codes

and ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas

dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied Petroleum

(L.P.) Gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service

must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column

pressure.

2. Do not attempt to connect Dryer to Liquified

Petroleum (LP Gas) Gas service without a

qualified professkmal.

3. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping

system by closing its individual manual shut-off

valve, during any pressure testing of the gas

supply system at test pressure equal to or less

than 2/1 psi (3.45 kPa).

4. Supply Line Requirements. Your laundry room

must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.

In the United States, an individual manual shutoff

valve MUST be installed within at least 6 feet

(1.8m) of the dryer, in accordance with the

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in.

N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown.

DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the

dryer, any disassembly requires the

attention and tools of an authorized and

qualified service person or cornpany,

If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2

inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and

ordinances and when acceptable to your gas

supplier, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used

where lengths are less than 20 feet (6.1m).

Larger tubing should be used for lengths in

excess of 20 feet (6.1m). It is also important that

you use pipe joint compound that is insoluble in

LP gas.

To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and

fire, please follow and observe the folk)wing

instructions and WARNINGS.

Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the

nameplate.

Use new flexible stainless steel connectors.

insoluble in LP gas on all pipe threads.

Purge gas supply of air and sediment before

connecting the gas supply to the dryer; in order to

prevent gas valve contamination. Before

tightening connection between gas supply and

dryer, purge remaining air until odor of gas is

identified.

• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas

leaks, instead use a non-corrosive leak detection

fluid.

WARNING!

• Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas

supply line.

• Install a shut-off valve.

• Securely tighten all gas connections.

• If connected to LP, have a qualified person

make sure gas pressure does not exceed

13 in. water column.

• Examples of a qualified person include

licensed heating personnel, authorized gas

company personnel, and authorized se rvice

personnel.

• Failure to do so can result in death

explosion, or fire.

Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.

,_ hnportant Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT

exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas

vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil

ducting.

Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:

1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer

and you should obtain the necessary venting

materials locally. For example, the outer end of

exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged

dampers to prevent back-draft when the dryer is not

in use.

2. The exhaust duct nmst be tour inches (10.2 cm) in

diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct

should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to

clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.

3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended

for use as transition ducting between the dryer and

and the wall. In special installations when it is

impossible to make a connection with the above

recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal

transition duct may be used between the dryer and

wall connection only. The use of this ducting will

affect dry time.

4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe

joints or other fastening means which extend into

the duct that could catch tint and reduce the

efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints

with duct tape.

5. To maximize operating results, please observe the

duct lenoth_ limitations noted in the chart above. 2 1

Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance

WARNINGs

i i i ii

Disconnect the dryer's electric power

prior to any cleaning or maintenance.

1. After one year of use, the interior and complete

exhaust system of the dryer should be examined

and cleaned if necessary.

2. Before one year of use, when drying performance

has become unsatisfactory, please examine and

clean the exhaust duct for better drying

performance.

3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure

the dampers are moving fleely, that the dampers

are not pushed in and that nothing has been set

against the dampers.

4. A qualifed service person or company should be

used to perform this maintenance.

5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost,

can be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed

in hard to reach places. This Kit comes in two

pieces, one of which is attached to the dryer and

the other is attached to the wall exhaust outlet.

Following attachment of the two separate pieces

to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may be

returned to its final position, after which the two

pieces themselves can be connected.

7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care.

Wipe the exterior of the dryer as required, and

always wipe the exterior of the dryer in the event

any detergent, bleach, or other washing products

is spilled on the dryer.

8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as

necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products

may damage the finish of the control panel.

9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying

each load or after drying each load.

10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before

starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter

may increase drying times.

11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to

the vacuum duct. See item #2 above.

12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided

inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires

prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer,

because wiring errors can cause serious injury

to you and your dryer.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load

or after drying each load. Always make sure the

lint filter is clean before starting a new load,

because a clogged lint filter may increase drying

times.

To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll

any lint off the screen with your fingers.

Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push

the lint screen fnnly back into place.

Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured

before running the dryer. Running the dryer with

a loose lint screen may cause overheating and

damage to the dryer and articles being dried.

Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than

others (towels for example), causing the Lint

Screen to rapidly fill. Remove lint from the lint

screen before and after drying these articles, such

as new towels.

In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and

into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust

hood and remove any lint.

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can

build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying

times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off

the screen. In order to prevent this type of build

up, and help ensure proper operation of your

dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush

every six months or, if necessary, more

frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as

follows:

a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your

fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or

warm water.

b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid

detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush

to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric

softener.

c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen

with hot water.

d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel,

firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.
