To minimize the risk of fi re in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fi re hazard and should
not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-a ected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fi re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-a ected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fi re hazard. If it is
unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer they should fi rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents or other fl ammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly
fl ammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like materials should
not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fi re by
spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the e ects of static
electricity unless this practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the
tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack
could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fi tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis
shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, Kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber(latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes
or pillows fi tted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specifi ed by the fabric softener instructions.
The fi nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left
at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Oil-a ected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble
dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fi re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-a ected items

Connecting the drain hose
Do not extend the drain hose.
- Since water may leak from the connected part, be sure to one long drain hose instead of
connecting short ones. If you cannot help connecting more than one hose, be sure to seal
the connected parts with silicone sealant. (Do not use the electric insulating tape for sealing.)
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1. Over the edge of a wash basin: The drain hose must be placed lower than 90 cm. If the end
of the drain hose needs to be placed above the ground, we recommend a height of 60 cm
~ 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure
the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose
from moving.
2. Assemble the drain hose and the hose guide and fi x them with the cable-tie.
3. You can drain the condensed water by connecting the accessory hose (long drain hose) to
the drain-outlet directly.
Connecting the direct-hose
You can immediately drain the condensed water that comes out while drying, by connecting the
drain hose to the tap.
1. Assemble the hose connector and the hose.
Since there is a danger of water leaking from the hose
connecter and accessory hose, make sure that they are
connected fi rmly.
2. Connect the end of the hose to the tap.

• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry di erently, which may result in lightweight fabrics
being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.
• Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles of clothing need drying.
This improves the tumbling action and drying e ciency.
• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some
fabrics.
• Make sure to insert laundry that has been spun by an appropriate washing machine.
• No unwashed textiles should be dried
• Textiles which have been in contact with oil, alcohol, petrol etc. should not be dried.
GETTING STARTED
1. Load your dryer loosely – DO NOT overload.
2. Close the door.
3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load.
4. Press the Start/Pause button.
5. The dryer indicator light will illuminate.
6. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.

• Select a heat setting other than COOL AIR.
• Check the case fi lter and Heat Exchanger Filter and clean them if
necessary.
• Dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry. • Check all of the above, plus...
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require
repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Check that the dryer is draining properly to extract adequate water
from the load.
• Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Clean the fi lter case.
• Clean the Heat Exchanger Filter.
Is noisy. • Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc.
Remove promptly.
• 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 fan.
Dries unevenly. • 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.
Has an odour. • Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc.
may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as
the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the
tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
• When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely
before using the dryer.
Shuts o 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 dryer.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Lint on clothes • Make sure the case fi lter is cleaned before every load. With some
loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean
the fi lter case during 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 black linen pants)
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying and drying clothes.
Garments still wrinkled after
Wrinkle Prevent
• Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
• Load fewer garments.Load similar-type garments.
Odours remain in clothing
after Cool air.
• Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed.
