sons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision
of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the
door to the drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to water
and/or to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand
and have skills to carry out.
9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless

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 resis-
tant 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
drying 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 shown in the following figure:

Load Clothes into Dryer

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
supplemented with medium and small articles.
• Avoid excessive drying of clothes to prevent wrinkles, shrinkage, roughness,
electrostatic charge accumulation and lint.
