SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
801709
Carefully read the instructions for use before using the
dryer.
Please, do not use the dryer without reading and
understanding these instructions for use first.
These instructions for use of a dryer are supplied with
different types or models of dryers. Therefore, they may
include descriptions of settings or equipment that are not
available in your dryer.
Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate
use of the dryer may result in damage to the laundry or the
appliance, or injury to the user. Keep the instruction manual
handy, near the dryer.
Instructions for use are available through Hisense customer
service centers.
Your dryer is intended solely for household use. If the
dryer is used for professional, for-profit purpose or purpose
exceeding normal use in a household, or if the dryer is used
by a person who is not a consumer, the warranty period shall
be equal to the shortest warranty period required by relevant
legislation.

5
801709
Follow the instructions for correct installation of the Hisense
dryer and connection to the power mains (see chapter
»INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION«).
All and any repairs or maintenance tasks on the dryer should
only be done by trained experts. Unprofessional repair may
result in an accident or major malfunction.
To avoid danger, a damaged power cord may only be
replaced by the manufacturer, a service technician, or an
authorized person.
After installation, the dryer should stand still for two
hours before it is connected to the power mains.
The dryer may not be connected to the power mains using
an extension cord.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet
intended for an electric shaver or a hair dryer.
Do not connect the dryer to power mains using an external
switching device such as a programme timer, or connect it
to power mains that is regularly switched on and off by the
power supply provider.
In case of a defect, only use approved spare parts by
authorized manufacturers.

6
801709
In case of incorrect dryer connection, incorrect use, or
servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the
cost of any damage as such damage shall not be covered by
warranty.
Always use the ducts or hoses supplied with the dryer.
Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and a
temperature between 10°C and 25°C.
Place the dryer on a level and stable solid (concrete) base.
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.
Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening).
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this
may impede air circulation.
Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust
particles. Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid
the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning
other fuels, including open fires.
Make sure the lint do not accumulate around the dryer.

7
801709
The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent
furniture.
After installation, let the dryer rest still for 24 hours before
using it. If the dryer has to be laid down on one of the sides
during transport or servicing, place it with its left side,
viewing from the appliance front, downwards.
Do not use the dryer to dry any laundry that has not been
washed.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking
oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in
hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being
dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
Use laundry conditioners or similar products in compliance
with manufacturer's instructions.
Remove all objects such as lighters and matches from the
pockets.

8
801709
If the condensate tube is blocked or clogged, then tumble
dryer operation is stopped (see chapter »PAUSING AND
CHANGING THE PROGRAMME/Full condensate tank«).
Before moving the dryer or before storing it in a non-heated
room during the winter, the condensate tank has to be
emptied.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
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.
Clean the dryer filters after each drying cycle. If you have
removed the filters, replace them before the next drying cycle.
Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents that could
damage the dryer (please observe the recommendations
and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning
agents).
Never add chemicals or fragrances into the condensate
tank (see chapter »DESCRIPTION OF THE DRYER and
EMPTYING THE CONDENSATE TANK«).

9
801709
After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord
from the power outlet.
The dryer uses a heat pump system to heat the air.
The system consists of a compressor and a heat
exchanger. When the dryer is started, compressor operation
(the sound of flowing liquid) or flow of refrigerant may be
louder as long as the compressor operates. This is not a sign
of malfunction and it will not affect useful life of the dryer. In
time and with use of the dryer this noise will become quieter.
The dryer is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with physical or mental impairments, or persons
with lacking experience and knowledge. These persons
should be instructed about the use of the dryer by a person
responsible for their safety.
The warranty does not cover consumables, minor
deviations in colour, increased noise that results from
appliance age and which does not affect the functionality of
the dryer, and aesthetic defects on components, which do
not affect the dryer's functionality and safety.
CHILD SAFETY
Do not allow children to play with the dryer.
Prevent your children and pets from entering the dryer drum.
Before closing the dryer door and running the programme,
make sure there is nothing except laundry in the drum (e.g. if
a child climbed into the dryer drum and closed the door from
the inside).

10
801709
Activate the child lock. See chapter »STEP 4: SELECTING
EXTRA FUNCTIONS/Child lock«.
Do not let children younger than three years to come
near the tumble dryer, unless they are under constant
supervision.
The dryer is made in compliance with all relevant safety
standards.
This dryer may be used by children aged 8 years and above
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, but only
if they are supervised during the use of the appliance, if
they have been provided relevant instructions regarding
safe use of the dryer, and if they understand the hazards
of inappropriate use. Make sure children do not play with
the dryer. Children may not clean the dryer or perform any
maintenance tasks without supervision.
DANGER OF HOT SURFACE
At higher drying temperatures, the door glass will heat up. Be
careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play near
the door glass.
The back of the dryer may get very hot during operation.
Wait for the dryer to cool down completely before
touching its back side.
If you open the dryer door during the drying process, the
clothes may be very hot and there is a risk of burning.

11
801709
Never stop the drying process before it is completed; if
you do interrupt the cycle for any reason, be careful when
removing the laundry from the drum as it is very hot. Quickly
remove the laundry from the drum and spread it to allow it to
cool down as quickly as possible.
SAFETY
Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with
water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned
with flammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.
If you have cleaned your clothes with industrial cleaners or
chemical substances, do not dry them in the dryer.
The dryer is protected with an automatic switch-off system
in case of overheating. This system will switch off the dryer if
the temperature is too high.
If the net filter is clogged, the overheating automatic switch-
off system may be activated. Clean the filter, wait for the
dryer to cool down, and try running it again. If the dryer still
fails to start, call a service technician.

The dryer may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum dryer operation,
we recommend observing the clearance from the walls as indicated in the figure. In case of failure
to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.
Vents on the back wall and the air exhaust opening on the front side of the dryer should never be
obstructed.
The room in which you will install the dryer should be sufficiently ventilated, with a temperature
between 10°C and 25°C. Dryer operation at a lower environment temperature may result in
condensate accumulation in the dryer interior. Do not place the dryer into a place where there is
danger of freezing. Frozen water in the condensate tank and pump may damage the dryer.
The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in a very small room, as the drying process may
take longer due to limited amount of available air.
Lighting in the room should be sufficient to allow reading the information on the display unit on the
control panel.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Remove all packaging. When removing the packaging, make sure not to damage the dryer with a
sharp object.

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite
side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely
opened.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.
After installation, wait for 24 hours without moving the appliance before using it for the first time.
If the dryer has to be laid down on one of the sides during transport or servicing, place it with its left
side, viewing from the appliance front, downwards.

19
801709
Floor on which the dryer is placed must have a concrete base. It should be clean and dry;
otherwise, the dryer may slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.
The dryer must stand level and stable on a solid base.
Incorrect levelling of the dryer with the adjustable legs may cause vibration, appliance sliding
across the room, and loud operation. Incorrect levelling of the dryer shall not be subject to warranty.
Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly
the result of improper installation.
ADJUSTING THE DRYER FEET
Level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet which allow
levelling by +/- 1 cm. Use a spirit level and spanner No. 22.

DRAINING THE CONDENSATE
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the
condensate tank.
During the drying process, an indicator light (symbol (9) is lit on the display unit) warns when the
condensate tank is full and needs to be emptied.
To avoid emptying the condensate tank, run the condensate discharge hose located at the back of
the appliance directly into a drain.
If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, make sure the hose is securely
fastened. This will prevent any water spillage which could result in unexpected damage.
Always use the hoses supplied with the dryer.
1Release the hose from the holder on
the back wall of the
dryer (left hand side,
below the top cover).
2Run the hose into a drain at a height
of no more than 80 cm
from the floor.
