To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as described in this manual.

• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning clothes. Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid of the washing or door of the drying compartment.

• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures below 33°F.

• Do not tamper with the controls and latch.

• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless it is specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• 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. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.

• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.

• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product manufacture.

• Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt.

• The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

• 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.

• This appliance must be grounded. See “Electric Requirements” and “Grounding” in the “Operation Requirements” section.

• This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle that is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. Refer to installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

• Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign material, i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

• There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.

• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• Do not sit on top of the dryer.

• Because of continuing product improvements, Midea America reserves the right of change specifications without notice. For complete details, see the installation instructions packed with your product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning installation.

• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.

• Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils.

• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat source such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur.

• Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.

• Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in door when closing it. This may result in injury.

• Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

• Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector.

If this new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure:

• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

• That a flexible plastic duct is not used.

• To inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

• The duct is not dented or crushed.

• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

Manometer measurements: The static pressure in any exhaust system for best results shall be between 0.3 to 0.8 inches of water column, and cannot be less than 0 under any circumstances, with installed duct of 4 inch diameter. Measurement must be done with the empty dryer working with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. Lint filter must be clean.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

• Use a 4-inch (10.2cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.

• Do not use smaller diameter than recommended diameter duct.

• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2cm) in diameter can result in increased accumulation of lint and changes in performance.

• Lint should be removed regularly from internal filter every cycle and from ducts.

• If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. A serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.

• Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

• Keep the exhaust duct as straight, short as possible, minimum elbows.

• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• Plastic flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect the dryer operation.

• Exhaust systems longer than recommended 90 ft can extend drying times, affect machine operations, and collect lint.

• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.

• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.

• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.

• If the exhaust duct must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.

• Check frequently to make sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

• Check once per month, and clean at least once per year. NOTE: If your clothes are not getting dry, then check the ducting for obstructions.

• Do not exhaust the dryer into a wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or any other common duct or chimney. This could create a fire hazard from the lint expelled by the dryer.

• Do not use non-metallic flexible duct.

• To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

• Protect the surface from sharp objects.

• Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer. Keep them on the purchased pedestal or in a separate storage box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.

• Since the entire dryer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.

• Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.

DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM

• Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain optimum performance.

• Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood (at the exhaust outlet) outside of the building.

• Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.

• Be sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in the exhaust hood so that the flappers or louvers will not open or close completely.

• After cleaning the exhaust hood, check that the flapper or louvers move freely.

• Reassemble the exhaust duct and hood, checking that the joints are secure and sealed.

• Operate the dryer and verify that the exhaust air is not obstructed in the vent and that there are no leaks in the system.

• The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

If your dryer has any problems as followings, you can check as the solutions listed below before making a service call. This will help you save time and money.

Problem	Solution
The unit doesn’t start.	• Make sure the door is latched shut. • Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. • Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses. • Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
The unit doesn’t heat.	• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses. • Select a heat setting other than Air fluff and the Temp selection is not on “No heat”. • On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on. • Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. • Dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry.	• Check all of the above, plus… • Be sure the exhaust hood outside the home can open and close freely. • Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually. • Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. • Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dry load. • Sort heavy items from lightweight items. • Large bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying. • Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
The unit is noisy.	• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, broken zips, etc. Remove promptly. • It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle. • Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the Installation Instruction. • It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
Clothes are unevenly dried.	• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the Extra Dry setting if desired. • If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Shuts off before load is dry.	• Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle. • Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the cycle.
The unit has a special odour.	• Household odours from paiting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from surrounding air space of the dryer locations. • When these odours linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
Odours remain in clothing after refresh	• Fabrics containing strong odours should be washed utilizing desired wash cycle.
Garments still wrinkled after Wrinkle-prevent	• Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best. • Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.
Lint on clothes	• Clean lint filter before every cycle. • Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants). • Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. • Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
