Safety Instructions (Continued)
FIRE HAZARDS
Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble drying. The
following MUST NOT be placed in your dryer due to the
risk of a fire or an explosion:
• Item(s) that have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable oil, cooking oil, suntan oil, linseed oil,
salad oil, lubrication oil or grease. Oil affected items
can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing as oxidation reaction in the
oil. Oxidation creates heat. If heat cannot escape, the
items can become hot enough to ignite. Pilling, stacking
or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and create a fire 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 first be washed
is hot water with extra detergent — this will reduce, but
not eliminate the hazard. The final part of tumble dryer
cycle occurs without heat (Cooling cycle) to ensure that
the items are left at the temperature that ensures that
the items will not be damage.
• Item(s) that have previously been cleaned in, washed
in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals
used only for cleaning, dry-cleaning solvents or
other flammable or explosive substances are highly
flammable. Highly flammable or explosive commonly
found around the house include acetone, (nail
polish remover) denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,
kerosene, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers should not be put in the dryer. Items
containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or
similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber
materials can produce fire by spontaneous combustion
when heated.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber
pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber-coated sports
shoes.
WARNING! For your safety, and to reduce the risk of
fire or an explosion, DO NOT store or use petrol or other
inflammable vapours and liquids near your dryer.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER AFTER EVERY USE
THE LINT FILTER MUST BE INSTALLED FOR EVERY USE
WARNING! LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD.
A clean lint filter greatly improves your dryers efficiency
and reduces drying times, saves energy and avoids
overheating. Overheating may also damage your clothes.
Tip! If your lint filter isn’t emptied between drying loads,
we estimate the drying time can double after 4–5 cycles
and triple after 8 cycles. Aside from creating a risk of fire,
this results in a significant increase in energy consumption
to dry your clothes.
The lint filter is located on the inside of the door, Figure 1
shown below.
Figure 1 — Lint filter location within your vented dryer.
7
WARNING! You must empty your lint filter after every
load and have it installed on every load.
To remove the lint filter, open the dryer door and simply
lift the plastic filter out from its housing. You can click the
lint filter open to allow easy access to remove the lint.
Ensure that the plastic filter is clicked closed again before
replacing into your clothes dryer.
Tip! The lint filter can only be inserted into its housing in
one way and must be used on every load.
IMPORTANT!
• Never operate your dryer without the lint filter in its
correct position.
• Do not allow lint to build up around the dryer
(on the door itself, inside the drum, around the lint
filter itself, etc).
• A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced
immediately — cease use until this is replaced.
• Do not overload your dryer. Overloading can increase
lint build-up because the airflow is reduced.
Tip! To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that
you pay for a qualified appliance technician to inspect
and clean your dryer periodical and if you have been
using the dryer and want to wall mount the unit we
recommend to have the dryer professional clean before
doing so.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER
Your dryer is rated to 8kg of dry clothing.
Loads must not exceed this rated capacity.
IMPORTANT! Always check your clothing’s care
label information to ensure they are suitable for use
within dryers.
Excessive drying is one of the most damaging things we
do to our laundry. International drying symbols (shown
below) help you select a dryer cycle and a temperature.
Figure 2 — International drying symbols used on your
clothing care labels.
• If the care label has a circle inside a square, your item
can be tumble dried.
• The more dots on the iron symbol suggests the
temperature of heat that can be applied:
• 1 dot = low temperature
• 2 dots = medium temperature
• 3 dots = high temperature
• If there is a cross over the tumble dry symbol, you
should not tumble dry the item.
It’s recommended for air-drying only.
Some guidelines for various fabric types:
• Permanent press and synthetics — Take out as soon as
the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.
• Woollen articles - not recommended. Pull them to their
original shape, then dry them flat. Vented dryers can
shrink woollen articles.
• Woven and loop knit materials — May shrink, by
varying amount, depending on their quality. Do not
use the “Heavy” Dryness setting for these fabrics,
Always stretch them out immediately after drying.
• Fibre or leather materials — Always check the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Baby clothes and night gowns — Acrylic clothing or
sleepwear use only on the lighter dryness settings.
• Rubber and plastics — Do not dry any items made
from or containing rubber or plastics, such as
aprons, bibs, babies’ water proof napkins, curtains,
tablecloths, shower caps, clothes fitted with foam
rubber pads, pillows, galoshes, or rubber coated
tennis shoes.
• Fibreglass — Not recommended, glass particles left in
the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next
time you use the dryer and irritate your skin.
Safety Instructions (Continued)

CAUTION! Fabric softeners or similar products should not
be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Note: We strongly advise against the use of fabric
conditioners of the sheet type that are added to the
clothes in the drum. These products may lead to rapid
blockage of the lint filter and inefficient operation of your
dryer.

POWER SUPPLY AND GROUNDING
• The machine operates using alternating current (AC). It
can be used normally as long as the voltage is within a
10% tolerance of the specified value.
• For convenient and safe use, it is best to install a
dedicated power socket specifically for the dryer.
• The dryer’s plug connection includes a ground wire, as
illustrated on the right.
• * In the course of using the dryer, always pay attention
to the safety contents and use common sense to ensure
safe operation. The manufacturer is not responsible for
any loss caused by improper use or disregard of safety
precautions.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• This product belongs to Class I electrical appliances.
Pay careful attention to electrical safety when using!
• Reliable grounding is mandatory for the power supply.
The ground wires of electric wires must be buried in the
earth and must not be connected to water pipes, gas
pipelines, or other public facilities.
• The ground wires and zero wires of the electric power
supply must not be separated, and the two live wires
cannot be connected together.
• Special sockets (power outlets) must be used separately.
Sockets must be qualified products that comply with all
compulsory national certifications and must be capable
of carrying more than 10A of current.
• For your safety and the safety of your family, do not use
the machine if the electricity requirements are not met.
This is strictly prohibited.
ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL ATTENTIONS:
1. To prevent accidents during installation and use, and
to ensure electrical safety, it is necessary for personnel
with electrical knowledge to install sockets and correctly
connect the baseline.
2. It is forbidden to connect the ground wire with the fire
wire (live) or zero wire (neutral). Otherwise, the shell
(casing) of the dryer will become charged (live), which
can easily lead to an electric shock.
3. If the power supply is found to be damaged, it must be
replaced by qualified professionals.
4. When the dryer is no longer working, it is best to remove
the power plug from the socket to ensure absolute

unplug the power supply and do not turn the machine
on or off. Ventilate the area immediately.
• The dryer should not be installed in an open air or
humid environment. If the machine is accidentally
drenched or there is a water leakage incident, it must
be ventilated and fully dried (aired) before ensuring the
electrical components are safe for use.
• Do not place items on top of the dryer, especially hot or
heavy items (e.g., hot pots or water vessels).
• For the rear type air outlet, it is forbidden to connect the
extension tube of the dryer to a flue to prevent smoke
and dust from being refilled (drawn back in).
• Be careful when the dryer is working, as the back cover
board will be hot when steam is exhausted. For safety
reasons, do not allow unattended children or physically
disabled persons to use this machine.
Precautions Before Use
14

HOW TO PERFORM A DRYING CYCLE
Follow these five simple steps to successfully complete a drying cycle:
STEP 1: PREPARE THE CLOTHES AND MACHINE
• Check Power: Ensure the machine’s power cord is securely plugged into the wall socket.
• Sort and Prepare: Sort your laundry by fabric type (e.g., cotton, synthetics). Empty all pockets, close zippers and
buttons, and turn garments inside out as necessary.
• Clean Filter: Always ensure the lint filter is clean before loading the clothes to maintain drying efficiency.
• Load Clothes: Open the door, shake out the clothes, place them loosely in the drum, and firmly close the door.
STEP 2: TURN ON THE DRYER
• Press and hold the Power button for one second until you hear the power-on tone. The machine will now be in
standby mode.
STEP 3: SELECT THE DRYING PROGRAM
• Turn the Program Knob to select the desired drying cycle.
• As you turn the knob, you will hear a prompt sound, and the corresponding program’s LED indicator light will
illuminate.
• Sensor Drying Programs (e.g., Cotton, Heavy): Select these for sensor-based drying.
• Fixed-Time Programs (e.g., 30 Minutes, Refresh): Select these when you need a specific, non-sensor-controlled
drying time.
STEP 4: START THE CYCLE
• Press the Start/Pause button once to begin the drying cycle. You will hear a confirmation tone.
• The machine will now begin tumbling and heating.
STEP 5: END OF CYCLE AND UNLOADING
• Cycle Completion: When the drying process is finished, the machine will provide an audible reminder.
• Unload Clothes: Open the door and immediately remove the dried clothes to minimise wrinkling.
• Clean Filter: Once the clothes are removed, clean the filter again to prepare for the next cycle.
• Power Down: For safety, press the Power button to turn the machine off, and then unplug the power cord from the
wall socket. If the power outlet has a separate switch, turn the power off there.

• Dryness Level: ‘Standard’ is ready for ironing or folding; ‘Extra Dry’ is extra dry.
Operating Your Vented Dryer (Continued)
20
By ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance of your Vented Dryer, you can ensure that it will have a long and fault
free operation.
WARNING! To avoid an electric shock, always unplug your dryer before cleaning.
CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE:
• Lint build-up on the filter mesh will slow down air circulation and increase the drying time.
• WARNING! FIRE DANGER: Failure to clean the filter after every use allows flammable lint to accumulate,
creating a serious fire hazard.
• The filter must be cleaned after every single use to ensure efficiency and safety.
CLEANING THE FILTER
• CAUTION! Always unplug the appliance or switch it off at the wall socket before you start cleaning.
• Open the dryer door and remove the filter, located within the door opening (refer to Figure 1 within this manual).
• Gently remove the lint (or ‘fluff’) from the filter mesh. You can use a damp, well-wrung cloth or simply use your hands.
• Washing the Filter (If Necessary): If you’ve used a fabric softener, a waxy residue might build up on the filter. If this
happens: Remove the filter and wash it in warm, soapy water and rinse it thoroughly.
INSTALLING THE FILTER:
• If you’ve cleaned the filter with a damp cloth or washed it in water, it must be completely dry before you put it back
into the dryer.
• Once dry, insert the filter back into the dryer door opening.
• IMPORTANT! When cleaning, do not press hard on the mesh or ‘screen’ of the filter, as this can easily damage it.
• Once dry, re-fit the lint filter into the door opening.
IMPORTANT! Clean the filter after each use and must be installed while in use.
CLEANING THE INNER DRUM
Cleaning the Surfaces:
• Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the inner drum and cabinet.
• Ensure that the cloth is only slightly damp and never use excessive amounts of water.
• Do not use scouring pads or other abrasives as these will cause damage to your dryer.
• Do not use alcohol wipes or harsh cleaning chemicals..
• Use a mild, neutral detergent for cleaning.
• Do not rinse the dryer directly with water.
• Do not use volatile materials like thinner, petrol (gasoline), or alcohol for cleaning, as these can damage the surfaces.
IMPORTANT! After cleaning the interior drum, leave the dryer door open to allow the drum to dry completely.
Cleaning and Maintenance

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
Check the points listed here before you call for help, and make sure that you have followed the Important safety
Instructions within this manual.
Problem Possible causes & Explanation Action to Take
Fabrics Are Not Drying Power Interruption: The cycle stopped due to
a brief power failure.
Restart the dryer cycle.
Blocked Airflow: The air outlet at the back of
the dryer is blocked by lint build-up or foreign
objects.
Check the air outlet at the back of the dryer
for blockages and clean it thoroughly.
Blocked Filter: The lint filter is full. Check the filter for blockage and clean it
immediately.
Item Entanglement: When drying large items
(sheets, quilt covers, tablecloths), clothes may
become excessively tangled during rotation.
The machine may need to be repeatedly
shaken and dried. Unload the items,
untangle them, and restart the cycle.
Heavy Layers: Dense items (denim, thick
coat) retain moisture in partial layers even
after a standard program finishes.
The partial layers that are not thoroughly dry
can be dried again using the appropriate
fixed-time program (e.g., 30 Minutes).
Possible Sounds When
Dryer is Running
Drum Vibrating Sound: Usually caused by
the wet weight of clothing impacting the wall
of the drum as it rotates.
This is generally normal if the load is damp.
Ensure the dryer is on a level surface.
Airflow Impingement Sound: This sound
occurs as water vapour is discharged from
the exhaust pipe, and the vapour impacts
the rotating inner drum.
This is a normal phenomenon when the dryer
is working.
Clothing Collision Sound: Items with metal
components (zips, buttons, buckles) impact
the inner drum or viewing window.
This is normal. To reduce noise, ensure these
items are turned inside out before drying.
Significant Increase in
Room Temperature
Poor Ventilation: The room is not adequately
ventilated.
Ensure the area has proper ventilation.
Blocked Rear Airflow: The air outlet at the
back of the dryer is blocked.
Remove the obstacle blocking the air outlet.
Dryer Does Not Start Start Button Not Pressed: The program has
been selected but the start button has not
been pressed.
Press the Start button.
Door Open: The dryer door is not
firmly closed.
Ensure the door is securely closed.
Start Indicator
is Not Lit
Power Supply Issue: The power plug is loose
or has not been fully plugged into the wall
socket.
Check and securely insert the power plug.
Dryer Switch Off: The main dryer power
switch (or the wall switch) is not turned on.
Ensure the dryer switch button is set to the
ON position.
Over Dry Incorrect Time Selection: The selected
program had an excessively long drying time
for the load size.
Select a program with a shorter drying time
or use an Intelligent program.
Troubleshooting
22
IMPORTANT! To operate all vented clothes dryers efficiently, the clothes dryer must have an unrestricted air supply and
exhaust ventilation. Service calls resulting from installation where ventilation is restricted are not covered by warranty.
The cost of this type of service call will be charged to the customer. Should you require further instructions in the use
and care of your clothes dryer please contact your local Customer Care team.

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out a
service technician. Before contacting your local Customer Care team, please check possible cause of malfunction and
solution listed below. Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the program. If
after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Customer Care team.
