Fire Hazard
The dryer must be vented to the outdoors,
Use rigid or thick wall flexiMe meta_ exhaust duct on_y,
Do not use a p_astic exhaust duct,
Do not use a meta_ foil exhaust duct,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire,
The dryer exhaust must be vented to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and
moisture in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.
Exhaustducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Never use plastic or metal foil flexible duct. This ducting can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce
airflow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation.
A minimum of 4 inch (100 ram) thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanised metal duct must be
used. Using ducts larger than 4 inches (100 ram) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.
In Canada, the exhaust duct must be 4.02 inches (102 ram) in diameter.
Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation, Thick wall flexible metal
ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the
duct and cause blockages.
Useduct tape to securejoints. Do not use screwsor any other fastening device which will
extend into the duct, as they will collect lint.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these installation instructions. The total length of flexible metal duct used
should be no longer than 94.5 inches (2.4 m).
Do not vent the dryer into anyother duct, chimney or gas vent becauseaccumuhted lint and
other material is a potential fire hazard. Do not vent the dryer into any ceiling, attic, crawl space,
under--floorspace,wall cavity, window well or anyother
concealed cavity that will accumulate lint.
Fit an exhaust hood with a swing--out damper to the outside
end of the exhaust duct to prevent back drafts and entry of
wild life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper.
The hood should have at least 12 inches (S05 ram) 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.

Choose a route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan the
installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
When using elbows (rigid duct) or making turns (thick wall flexible metal duct), allow as much
room as possible. With thick wall flexible metal duct bend duct gradually to avoid kinking and
avoid 90_ turns.
Fig. 12 Duct configurations
Maximum length of exhaust duct
The maximum length of the exhaust duct system depends upon:
The type of ducts (rigid or thick walled flexible metal).
The number of elbows or bends used.
Refer to the exhaust duct length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum duct
lengths you can use. Do not use duct runs longer than specified in the exhaust duct length
charts (refer to page 15).
Exhaust duct systems longer than specified will:
Accumulate lint creating a potential fire hazard.
Shorten the life of the dryer,
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and an increased energy usage.

Superior clothes care
Superior clothes care is accomplished by an efficient high airflow
fan and careful heat control. The AemSmart dryer provides the right
heat for temperature sensitive delicate articles while still efficiently
drying more robust regular and denim loads.
Reverse action tumbling
The drum reverses regularly, so your clothes dry more evenly
without roping or tangling.

Usingyourdryer
Check the care labels inside the garments to determine whether the garment manufacturer
recommends tumble--drying.
It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the
dryer. Sort into loads of similar types, and loads that take similar times
to dry.
Heavier items (eg. towels, t-shirts and flannel sheets) are best dried
separately from lightweight items (eg. synthetics, poly<otton sheets
and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items becoming over--
dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of
your clothing and linen.
Fig.41 Sort before loading
For best results match your load to the drying cycles offered to ensure the best drying of your
items (for more information on drying cycles available refer to page 43).
Drying your clothes as soon as the washer has finished will decrease the chance of wrinkles and
the chance of dye transfer from colored items to white items.
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to ensure the
screen-printing does not stick to the drum. Garments with hooks or zippers need to be fastened
and where possible turned inside out. Hace undergarments in a net bag to provide protection
from other items in the load.
Garments need to be loaded correctly to reduce the likelihood
of them wrinkling and to ensure the load is dried evenly. Make
sure there is ample room for the garments to tumble freely while
drying. Load in terms of the space the garments take up when
dry, rather than when they are wet.
The general rule is one wash load : one dryer load.
Only load the dryer up to the top of the transparent section of
the lint bucket Loading any higher may result in uneven drying,
tangling, wrinkling and the dryer becoming overloaded.
It is a good idea to dry 'permanent press' type garments together
using the EASY IRON cycle, which has the WRINKLE FREEoption
turned on. This will help reduce wrinkles and the need for ironing.

Using your dryer
Lint bucket
The AeroSmart dryer's lint removal system is unique.
Unlike other dryers, the AeroSmart dryer automatically
removes the lint for you, from the lint screen - all you
have to do is tip the lint out!
The lint filter is hidden behind the lint bucket. As the air
passes through this filter the lint is caught on the fine
mesh. Once the lint is about W' (2 ram) thick it comes into
contact with a scraper which deposits it into the bucket.
This process is automatically performed every time lint
builds up on the filter.
Apart from the benefit of not having to scrape the lint
after every cycle, it also means the drying efficiency is not
affected by lint build-up during the drying cycle.
The lint bucket is located inside the dryer on the left-hand
side, You can remove it by gently pulling the handle and
lifting outwards. It slots easily back into place.
This lint bucket does not need to be cleaned as regularly
as other dryer's lint filters. The lint bucket only needs to
be emptied before the lint reaches the top of the
transparent section.

Using your dryer
Selecting a cycle
Sour dryer has a number of DRYING CYCLESthat can be used to dry different types
of garments:
Regular Heavy Deficate Sheets Air Dry Bulky Easy/ran
Select a drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. Different fabrics have
different drying requirements, so it is important to choose the cycle that best describes the load.
For example if your load contains mainly delicate items it is best you select the DELICATE cycle.
AM, ays foNow manufacturer!s care tabel instructions when drying.
If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, it's best to select a cycle with a lower
heat rather than a higher heat cycle, eg. the DELICATE or EASY IRON cycle instead of the
REGULAR cycle.
Wrinkle Free
WRINKLE FREEminimizes the likelihood of wrinkles forming in
clothes if you are not able to unload the dryer straight away.
WRINKLE FREE rotates the drum periodically after the cycle has
finished, tumbling and blowing cool air through the clothes to
ensure they remain wrinkle free. WRINKLE FREE uses very little
power and will continue for up to 24hrs or until the dryer is
turned off. After completing each tumble AeroSmart will give
an 'End of Cycle' beep to remind you that the load is dry and
can be removed.
To stop WRINKLE FREEat any time press either POWER or
STtART/PAUSE.
WRINKLE FREEcan be selected on any cycle and can be
turned ON or OFF at any time during the cycle. This option is
automatically selected on the EASY IRON cycle.
Wrinkle Free
Using your dryer
Selecting the d_ying process
There are two ways in which your dryer is able to dry clothes; AU_:O SENSING or TIME DRS:
Auto Sensing
When AUTO SENSING is selected AeroSmart automatically senses
the dryness level of the load and turns off when the clothes
are dry. AemSmart's internal computer measures the moisture
content of the load using metal sensing bars and together with a
temperature sensor determines when the clothes have reached
the selected dryness level (Refer to page 40).
For optimum clothes care, match the cycle to the load. AUTO
SENSING often provides the best results and leads to lower
energy costs than TIME DRY.
Fig_45 Selecting Auto Sensing
Time Dry
There are three timed cycles You can choose between 20,
40and 80 minutes. A COOL DOWN period of 10 minutes is
included in the 80- minute and 40--minute cycb The 20-minute
cycle has a 5---minute COOL DOWN period
To select a timed cycle, press the TIME DRY button. The AUTO
SENSING light will switch off. Now select the time you want your
dryer to run for. The load will continue drying until the time you
have set has elapsed.
During TIME DR%the dryer does not sense when the clothes are
dry. This may cause over--drying.
We recommend that you dry your clothes for a slightly shorter
time than you think they need, or check on them regularly (to
avoid over--drying).

Starting the Drying Cycle
Once you have chosen all your desired settings, press START/PAUSE (located on the right-hand
side of the control panel)
You will hear a few new sounds that you may not have heard from your previous dryer.These
noises are normal and are related to AeroSmart locking the lid and closing the drum door.

Stopping you_ d_ye_
Your AeroSmart dryer can be stopped dunng any stage of the
drying process, to allow you to check on your load or add/
remove clothes.
To do this, press START/PAUSE There will be a slight delay
as the drum slows down and stops in the open position
(approximately 15 seconds). Dunng the opening sequence,
the LID LOCKED light will flash, once the drum is stationary the
light will be extinguished, you can then open the Iid.To start
your dryer again, press START/PAUSE.

Note: If the cycle is interrupted before it progresses into COOL DOWN, parts of the drum may be hot.
Changing cycles during operation
If you wish to change the drying cycle you have chosen after the machine has already begun
drying, press your new cycle selection on the control panel. If the progress lights have begun to
advance through the cycle, you will need to turn the dryer off and start afresh.
Fabric softener sheets
If you want to use fabric softener sheets, you must ensure that they are labelled "dryer safe"
Always follow the instructions on the packaging. Do not place them in a dryer with warm
clothes as there is a chance the fabric softener may stain clothes.
Only use a softener sheet once, then discard it.
Beeps
At the end of the cycle, the dryer will beep to let you know that the load isfinished. The drum
will automatically come to rest in the open position, allowing you to open the lid and remove
your load.
Finishing your cycle early
AeroSmart will advance through the progress lights as it dries and
will switch off once it has completed COOL DOWN.
If you wish to finish your drying cycle early you can press AIR DRY
to advance it to this COOL DOWN mode.
The COOL DOWN mode means the elements will switch off and
the clothes are tumbled without heat. When AeroSmart senses
the clothes are cool it will automatically shutdown (this takes 2
- 10 minutes depending on the size of your load).
Cee/ing
Note: The COOL DOWN mode is only activated if your dryer has progressed past the DAMP
progress light flashing. If the DAMP progress light is still flashing and you press AIR DRY your
dryer will switch to the AIR DRY cycle and will dry for 40 minutes (the default AIR DRY setting).

lid will be unlocked. In some circumstances the drum door may
not be automatically opened. If this occurs it is best if the dryer
is not interfered with. When the power is restored the dryer will
automatically resume operating. However if it does not automatically
open, first close the lid and start the dryer in the usual manner, after
5 seconds press START/PAUSE.This will cause AeroSmort to open
correctly with the lid unlocked.
If it is absolutely necessary to remove some items before power is
restored follow the steps below:
1 Ensure the dryer is disconnected from the power supply.
2 Open tile lid (this will already be unlocked).
s On the left hand side of the dryer there is a thumb tab that appears
when the drum is closed. Press the thumb tab, while rotating the
drum by hand away from you (push the drum towards the back of
the dryer).
4 Hold the thumb tab down until the drum starts opening.
5 Keep rotating the drum until it is fully open and it comes to a stop.
6 Now you can remove items from the dryer drum.
7 Close the lid once you have removed desired items.
s Re-connect the power supply to your dryer.

Caring for your AeroSmart dryer
Clean your dryer with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use scouring cleaners as they can
damage the paint and plastic surfaces.
Removing the Lid
You can remove the lid for cleaning. Open the lid fully, hold one side
with one hand and tap the other side with an upwards motion. To
replace the lid, hold the lid vertically and align both hinges before
clicking back into place.
PreoTreatment Sprays
Fig.51 Removing the lid
Do not use pre--treatment sprays or liquids on or near your dryer as they can damage your
machine's control panel as well as any of its plastic parts. Damage to your dryer caused by pre--
treatment products will not be covered by your warranty.
Stains
If stains appear inside the drum of your machine, mix a detergent and water paste (or use a non--
flammable liquid cleaner) and wipe over the stain with a soft cloth. Then tumble old towels for
20 - 40 minutes on the AIR DRY setting to remove all traces of the cleaner.
Lint Bucket
The lint bucket will need to be emptied before the lint reaches the top of the transparent
section. A lint bucket that is not full ensures your clothes will remain lint-ofree and your dryer will
operate at maximum efficiency.
Inspect and clean all ducting at least once a year to remove accumulated lint. Check frequently
that any damper on the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and shuts freely.
Ensure that the area around the dryer is kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors or liquids. Ensure also that the dyer area is kept clear and free from
items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
