Preparations Before Drying
• Group the clothes of the same kind (cotton, synthetics, woolen) to dry.
• Dark and light colored clothes should be separately dried. Fabrics prone to falling
lint should be turned inside out before putting into the dryer.
• Make sure buttons and ornaments on the clothes are high temperature resistant
and won’t damage drum surface. Before loading, the clothes should have their
zippers zipped up, buttons and hooks done up and belts tied so as to avoid
entanglement or other obstacles.
• If possible, turn out the clothes pockets for uniform drying.
• Check if clothes remain soiled. If yes, wash it again, otherwise the soils after dry-
ing may stain permanently.
• Small articles should be collected in a mesh bag before loading and drying, so as
to avoid entanglement and ensure easy removal.
• Make sure power socket is reliably grounded. The grounding terminal should not
be connected to gas or tap water pipelines.
• Make sure exhaust duct has been connected with extension pipe.
• Make sure lint filter is clean and then assemble it properly. If lint filter is not in
place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the
dryer.
Note: It applies to Auto Dry cycle and Timed Dry cycle. For Rack Dry
cycle, remove the lint filter and assemble the drying rack. Raise the
front end and lock it into the lint filter slot. The assemble is as

Load Clothes into Dryer
Auto Dry Cycle and Timed Dry Cycle
• The appropriate load is 1/3 to 1/2 of the drum volume. Avoid to overload the
dryer, as space is needed to allow clothes to tumble for uniform and wrinkle
proof drying.
• When drying big articles, only 2-3 pieces should be loaded at a time and supple-
mented with medium and small articles.
• Avoid excessive drying of clothes to prevent wrinkles, shrinkage, roughness, elec-
trostatic charge accumulation and lint.
• Avoid high temperature drying on delicate and synthetic clothes.

Following sounds are normally heard during the operation of the dryer.
• Tumbling sounds. This is normal as the heavy wet clothes in the dryer
are continuously being tossed around.
• Air rushing noise. This happens as the dryer drum spins at very high
RPM and the air is rushing through the dryer drum.
• Timer clicks may be heard.
• For best drying results, clean the lint filter before every use.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Balance the dryer load evenly throughout the dryer for the best results.
• Drying time depends on many variables: load size, type of fabric and
moisture in it, heat and moisture in the room, electric voltage, length of
the exhaust duct, etc.
• To eliminate guessing and conserve energy, we recommend for certain
clothes to choose and Auto Drying setting.
• Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment
manufacturer.
Normal Operating Sounds
Tips

English
• Lint filter needs to be cleaned before or after each use for
your unit to operate at optimum efficiency. The filter can be slid out,
by pulling on the tab located on the inside of the dryer door. The filter
may be washed or vacuumed. Remove the excess water from the filter
by gently shaking the filter. This will remove dust and particles trapped
in the filter. Lint build-up in screen restricts air flow, which causes
longer drying times. After cleaning, slide the filter back in place.
DO NOT USE YOUR DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER.
WARNING: Unplug the dryer before cleaning.
• Do not use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning the interior.
Hazardous fumes or electric shock could occur.
• Clean cabinet with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners, as this could damage the dryer.
• Clean the duct and the vent on a regular basis to avoid clogging which
could affect the efficiency of the dryer.

TroubleShooting

15
English
Select a suitable location for the dryer on a hard even surface away from direct
sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc.
Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the
bottom of the dryer.
• Phillips head and flathead screwdrivers
• Channel-lock adjustable pliers
• 1/2 inch open end wrench

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking Your Dryer

English
16
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe
operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions
can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
WARNING
1. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up
inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air
flow will increase dryer times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure present duct
is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
2. If the dryer is not exhausted out doors, some fine lint will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a
health and fire hazard. To reduce risk of fire, dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
3. Do not allow combustible material (for example: clothing, draperies/curtains,
paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer must not be exhausted
into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which
can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
4. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the “Maximum
Length” charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging
the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.
5. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws or rivets to
assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws
or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing
drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and
seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed
downstream with the flow of air.
Explosion hazard:
Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.
If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm)
above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.
Exhaust System Connections
Requirements and Instructions

17
English
Materials
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and
approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper hat open when the dryer is in
operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a
minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground
or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move freely.
MAXIMUM EXHAUST LENGTH

English
18
After installation is completed, the following method must be used to
determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the
point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down)
and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure must not be higher than 0.75 inches
of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 0.75
inches of water column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the
system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain
extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
1. Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust
system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
3. Running the exhaust system through an area not insulated
may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
4. Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every
18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often
you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.

English
19
Do Not Install Your Dryer:
• In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
• In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes,
or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• On carpet. Floor must be solid with a maximum slope of
1inch (2.54 cm).
Installation in Recess or Closet:
• A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or closet, must be
exhausted outdoors.
• Your dryer needs the space around it for proper ventilation.
• A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening,
equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Air
openings are required to be unobstructed when a door is installed. A
louvered door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the door
is acceptable.
