NOTES ON SAFETY
1. Unique and luxury design: Uniquely styled front loading
dryer.
2. Electronic Controls: Simple and convenient operation
thanks to electronic controls. The appliance will automati-
cally adjust the temperature when drying.
3. Large door opening: Observe the drying process clearly
through the door window.
4. Open the door 180°: It is very convenient to put in and
take out laundry thanks to wide opening angle.
5. Clever design: Suitable capacity and unique appear-
ance with anti-dust, anti-humidity, anti -vibration features
to ensure , long life and low noise operation.
6. Do not tumble dry laundry cleaned with industrial chem-
icals.
7. Regularly clean the lint lter.
8. Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the
tumble dryer.
9. Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid the back
ow of gases into the room from appliance burning other
fuels, including open res.
10. Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
11. Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot re-
movers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent
before being dried in the tumble dryer.
12. Items such as foam rubber (latex form), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber-lined articles and clothes or
pillows lled with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the tumble dryer.

5
NOTES ON SAFETY
13. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used
as specied by the fabric softener instructions.
14. The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are cooled
down to a lower temperature and they will not be dam-
aged.
15. WARNING: never stop 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.
16. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a ue
which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burn-
ing gas or other fuels.
17. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite
side to that of the tumble dryer in such a way that a full
opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
18. Oil-affected 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 re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a re hazard.
19. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable
or cooking oil or which have been contaminated by hair
care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should
rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
20. The appliance should not be overturned during normal
use or maintenance.
21. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.

The rst step: Power source and grounding.
The dryer is powered by alternating current of rated voltage and frequency. When the volt-
age uctuates between 6% of rated voltage, the dryer can operate normally. For conveni-
ence and safety connect the dryer to a dedicated wall power socket beside the dryer. The
gure below shows the connection method.
To ensure safety, please make modications and improvements as soon as possible ac-
cording to the rules and suggestions mentioned above.
Notices:
To prevent incorrect installation or use of the socket and to guarantee the safe use of
electricity, the socket and the grounding wire must be installed by an electrician. The dryer
power wire of employs Y connection. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Never connect the grounding wire with the neutral wire, otherwise the body of the appli-
ance will be charged, which is likely to cause the danger of electric shock.

DISPLAY AND CONTROL PANEL
Operate your appliance
1. Before drying, thoroughly spin the laundry in washing machine. High spin speed can
reduce the drying time and save energy consumption.
2. For uniform drying results, sort the laundry according to fabric type and drying pro-
gramme.
3. Before drying, please close zips, hooks and eyelets, button up, tie fabric belts, etc.
4. Do not over dry the clothes, because over dried clothes can easily get creases.
5. Do not dry the articles containing rubber or similar elastic materials.
6. The door can only be opened when the programme completes. This prevents the user
from being scalded by hot steam or over heated air.
7. Clean the lint lter and empty condensed water container after each use to avoid exten-
sion of drying time and energy use.
8. Do not dry clothes after a dry-cleaning process.

Pilling on clothes It is normal for pills to form on some
synthetic bres. This is caused by
fabrics rubbing against one another.
Use fabric softener to
lubricate the bre, please
spray settled gule on cuff
and neckline when iron
clothes. Turn the sarcen-
et out for reducing rub.
Typical noises made by the operating appliance.
• Noise due to vibration: heavy wet laundry turning in the drum will make noise.
• Thumping: when drying, the machine will generate steam which comes out from pipe and
this will cause thumping noises.
