GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Dryer Safety
WARNING! Failure to follow these safety instructions could damage the clothes dryer or your
clothes. You may then not be covered by warranty for this damage.
Only plug this appliance directly into an AC power supply which is properly earthed and had the
correct voltage. Refer to the appliance rating plate (located on the rear of your clothes dryer) for
the voltage information.
Caution! If this appliance is supplied from an extension cord, power-board or other power adapter,
the extension cord/power-board must be positioned so that it is not subject to moisture or risk
of moisture. For safety reasons, we strongly advise against the use of double adaptors, power-
boards, extension leads or other similar devices.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Important!
• If the electrical cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer,
Authorised Service Agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Damage to
the appliance, including the power cord, is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and
a fee for service may be payable.
• These dryers are for drying clothes, towels and linen at home. They are not designed or
intended for use in Commercial environments. Do not use them for any other purpose.
• The dryer is not to be used with any clothing articles which have had industrial chemicals used
for cleaning.
• This appliance is only intended for use indoors only within a domestic environment.
• The lint trap must be cleaned frequently- we strongly recommend this is done after each use.
• Adequate ventilation must be provided.
• Never dry unwashed items with your clothes dryer.
• Never use your clothes dryer to dry items such as latex, foam rubber, waterproof textiles,
rubber backed articles, or pillows fitted with foam.
• Ensure all objects are removed from pockets.
• Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Always check your clothing items care labels to ensure they are suitable for use within your
dryer.
WARNING! The final cycle of your clothes dryer programs is a cool down cycle to reduce the
temperature of your clothes. This is incredibly important to ensure that your clothing items won’t
be damaged. 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.
WARNING! The appliance must not be supplier through an external switch device, such as a timer,
or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and o by a utility.

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 aected 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-aected 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.
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
WARNING! LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD.
A clean lint filter greatly improves your dryers eciency 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.
You must empty your lint filter after each and every load.
The lint filter is located on the inside of the door- shown below (Figure 1).
Figure 1- Lint filter location within your vented dryer.
Safety Instructions (Continued)

6
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.
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 periodically.
Operating your Dryer
Your dryer is rated to 7kg 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 (Figure 2 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 “Extra” 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 “Light”
Dryness setting.
• 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.
Caution! 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 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 inecient
operation of your dryer.
Unpacking
During transportation, protective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any
damage. After unpacking, please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause
damage to the environment. All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally

16
Operation Instructions (Continued)
DETAILED OPERATION
Step 1: Preparation before drying
• Clothes should be washed before use within the dryer.
• Always ensure the same types of clothes are dried together.
• Try to sort your clothes to be dried into load that take a similar time to dry (for example
heavier items separate from light items).
• Make sure any decorations or buttons on your clothing items are safe for high temperatures
and well protected.
• It is recommended to turn your clothes inside-out.
• Please ensure that the power cord is in perfect condition before use. Should there be any
damage to the power cord or plug, please immediately isolate the dryer from power and
contact our After Sales Service Team.
Step 2: Check the filter
• Make sure that the filter is always clean and in the correct position.
• The filter must be cleaned regularly, after each use.
Step 3: Loading the dryer
• For faster drying results, load the dryer to ½ → 2/3 capacity of the drum. This will allow the
clothes and air to circulate evenly.
• When drying a small load of clothes or even expensive clothes, it’s best to add some towels
that won’t lose fibres, as this will help the wet clothes to dry more evenly.
• To avoid creases or static charges on your clothes, it’s important to ensure you don’t over-dry
your items.
Tip! Refer to the Reference weights of clothing articles (when dry) in the table below, to assist with
avoiding overloading your dryer.
Figure 9- Reference weights for various clothing articles when they are dry
Step 4: Close the dryer door.
• The door will click when fully closed.
Step 5: Select your settings.
• Set your desired dryer Program, relevant to your load type, along with your preferred Dryness
level. The various drying programs and the Dryness level options for each program, are
outlined in the table on the following page.

17
Operation Instructions (Continued)
DETAILED OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Program Functions
Note: Maximum capacity for loads is based on the clothing when dry.
Tip! At the completion of a drying program, the clothes dryer will circulate cold air. This ensures
that your clothing is left at a temperature and that your clothes aren’t damaged.
Note: the energy rating was calculated using the Cotton program and Extra dryness level.
Step 6: End of the drying program
• At the completion of its last heating cycle, a buzzer will sound for 1 second and then begin the
cooling cycle. Once the cooling cycle is complete, the dryer’s buzzer will sound one more time.
• Remove your clothes from the dryer.
Step 7: Take out the plug
• Just to be safe, always unplug the dryer after each use.
Step 8: Clean the filter and inner drum
• Accumulated dust and fibres will eect the air circulation inside the dryer and will cause longer
drying times.
Important! Always ensure the dryer is switched o and unplugged before cleaning.
OTHER OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS
Anti-crease Function
The Anti-Crease function adds a short amount of time at the end of your drying program to shake
the clothes and reduce creasing. Press this button to add the function to your selected drying
program/settings. The LED light above the Anti-Crease button will alight to indicate that it’s active.
Child Lock
Your dryer has the ability to lock the controls to prevent accidental operation or changing
of settings. If you would like to activate the Child Lock safety feature, simply press both the
“Program” and “Dryness” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The LED indicator next to the lock

Operation Instructions (Continued)
GENERAL HINTS
• Never tumble dry the following: Delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with
metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as blankets, eiderdown, sleeping bags, feather
quilts and any item containing rubber foam or materials similar to foam rubber.
• Do not directly place undergarments such as bras and corsets that contain metal
reinforcements, into your dryer. Your dryer may be damaged if a metal part were to come
loose from the garment. Place such items in a bag designed for this purpose.
• Check and empty pockets. Clip, pens, nails and pins can damage both the dryer and your
clothes. Other item such as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire.
• Close all press studs, hooks, eyes and zips that may catch on something else. Tie all belts and
aprons string to prevent tangling.
• Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction, load size and wetness. Save time and
money and always spin the load as dry as possible your washing machine.
• Always clean the lint filter-this will reduce drying time and save you money.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying. Do not place hand washed items
that have not been spun, into the dryer.
• To avoid static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are
washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
• Clothes or towels containing sand or grit should be washed first.
• Due to variations in dryer load fabric texture and thickness it is possible that not all items will
be dried evenly. If you experience uneven dryness on the Standard program please use the
Extra Program but be mindful of the type of fabric being dried to avoid over drying certain
types of fabric. Always follow drying instructions attached to the items intended to be dried in
a clothes dryer.
• Drying time will also be eected by voltage fluctuations, room temperature and humidity.
Clothes will dry more slowly on a cool or humid day.
• For best results, sort the load according to fabric. Such as heavy items which may take longer
to dry (i.e. towels, flannelette sheets, etc) than ones which dry quickly (i.e. cotton shirts and
sheets).
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured items such as towels as lint will show on the dark
clothes.
• Some fabrics will collect lint from other clothes and items. Separate those articles prone to
causing lint and those prone to collecting lint, to minimise this problem. Clothes that give lint
include towels, nappies, chenille. Clothes that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and
permanent press garments.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, you may need to run another program, or allow
the items to finish drying naturally outside the dryer. This will be necessary particularly for
multi-layered items (i.e. collars, pockets, etc).

19
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.
CLEANING THE FILTER
• Remove the lint filter, located within the door opening (refer to Figure 1 within this manual).
• Clean the filter by wiping it with a damp cloth.
• Once dry, re-fit the lint filter into the door opening.
Important! Clean the filter after each use.
CLEANING THE INNER DRUM
• 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..
