SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
IMPORTANT WARNING
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before
thowing away an old appliance:
• Remove the door or lid.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot easily climb into the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The power
cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall
outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and
frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords
or together with another appliance in the same wall
outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Ensure that component parts are replaced with like
components and that servicing is done by factory
authorized service personnel, to minimize the risk of
possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) whose physical, sensory or
mental capabilities may be different or reduced,
or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such
persons receive supervision or training to operate
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in the
dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause
a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due
to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble
dry cycle occurs without heat as a cool down
period. Avoid stopping the dryer before the end of
the drying cycle unless items can be immediately
removed and spread out to allow the accumulated
heat to dissipate.
Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Items that have been soiled with oil products 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 fire. Piling, stacking or storing items that have been soiled with
oil can prevent heat from escaping and create a fire hazard.

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted

WALL MOUNTING KIT
A wall mounting kit is included with the unit so that
the unit can be secured to the wall if necessary.
We recommend using two people to complete the
installation as the dryer can be heavy.
The wall mounting kit includes:
Tools required:
• one drill and 3 mm bit
• one Phillips head screwdriver
• four ɸ12 x 50 mm timber screws
Note:
• A minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) is required
between the top of the dryer and the ceiling.
• If mounting above a washing machine, ensure
there is enough space above the washing
machine to fully open the lid and load or unload
the appliance.
• This dryer is not designed to be placed directly
on top of a washing machine or any other
appliance.
Important: If you wish to install the dryer with a
stacking kit, we strongly recommend only using
the Danby Dryer with the Danby Laundry Stacking
Kit and ensure that you follow all installation
instructions that come with the Laundry Stacking Kit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Determine where you would like the dryer
positioned and mark the required bracket
position on the wall.
2. Securely affix the hanging brackets to the
wall.
• The hanging brackets must be screwed into
wall studs to ensure the installation is secure.
• The hanging brackets must be placed no
more than 56.3 cm (22.2 inches) apart.
• If the wall studs are further apart than 56.3 cm
(22.2 inches), you must install two braces on
the wall, one to hold the hanging brackets and
one to brace the plastic spacers.
• Ensure the braces are screwed directly into
the wall studs and then screw the hanging
brackets to the brace.
Important note: If the hanging brackets do not
align with the wall studs we strongly recommend
using a wood or metal brace that will allow at
least two screws to be secured into wall studs.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• The maximum capacity of the unit is 6 Kgs (13.2
Lbs) of dry textile material. Do not over load.
• It is recommended that items be added to the
dryer one at a time to avoid tangling which can
result in uneven drying.
• Check the pockets of all items to be dried,
ensure that foreign objects do not enter the unit
such as lighters, hair pins, coins, etc.
• Turn items with zippers inside out and fasten all
buckles.
