• This dryer utilizes heat pump technology. The air is not as hot as a traditional vented dryer. It is more energy efficient and gentler on clothes but results in a longer drying time.
• For better drying, select higher dryness level and do not load more than ½ full with wet clothes.

Load size recommendations:
Small Load: Fill the drum with 3-4 items, not more than ¼ full.
Large Load: Fill the drum to about ½ full.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, 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 cleaning solvents 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.

Sorting and Loading

• Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label.
• If using fabric softener or other products to eliminate static, follow all instructions on the product package. Improper use may cause stains.
• Do not overload. Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.The drum should not be loaded more than ½ full.
• Mixed loads of heavy and light weight fabrics will dry differently, which may result in lightweight fabrics being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle. Add one or more similarly sized items to your dryer when only one or two articles of clothing need drying. This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
• Small articles or items that can be tangled, can be dried in a laundry bag.
• Items with buttons should be buttoned up. Items with zippers should be zipped up. These items should be turned inside out to dry.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshoot your problem by using the chart below. If the unit still does not work properly, contact BLACK+DECKER customer service center or the nearest authorized service center. Customer must never troubleshoot internal components.

SYMPTOMS	SOLUTIONS
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. Clean the lint filter. Dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the cycle.
Doesn't dry	Check the entire above, plus... 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.
The remaining time changes abnormally	The sensor cycle will estimate dampness of clothes automatically. Due to amount and material of clothes, to assure the expected dampness the dryer will adjust remaining time, this is normal.
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 Time 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	Household odors from painting, 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 odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
Odors remain in clothing after refresh	Fabrics containing strong odors 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	Lint filter should be cleaned before every cycle. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it is necessary to clean the filter after the 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 lack linen pants). Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
" " is lighting	Clear lint filter.
" " is flashing	When the cycle is end, "" will flash and dryer will beep 5 seconds. Check the water container. If it's full, please pour out the condensate water and restart the dryer. If the container is not full, please restart the dryer directly. If the "water full" icon is still flashing after you have finished the first two steps, please call the service.
Degree of dryness was not reached or drying time too long	Clean lint filter. Empty container. Check drain hose. Dryer installation place is too restricted. Clean the moisture sensors. Keep the Air inlet clean. Use higher drying intensity level program or time program.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

• Do not sit on top of the dryer.
• 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.
