Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing
an oxidant ion 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 oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping,
creating a fire risk.
To ensure safety while using the tumble dryer, follow these guidelines:
• If fabrics contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair products, you
must wash them in hot water with extra detergent before placing them in the dryer. This
reduces the risk of hazards associated with such oils and fabrics.
• Never place unwashed items directly into the tumble dryer. Always ensure items are clean
and free from substances, which may pose a risk during drying.
• If items have been soiled with substances like cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers, wash them in hot water
with extra detergent before placing them in the dryer.
• The final part of the tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle), ensuring that
items are left at a temperature that avoids damage.
• 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. Never stop a tumble
dryer before the end of its drying cycle, unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out, so the heat can disperse.
Never place this appliance upside down
WARNING
-Risk of Fire
To reduce the risk of fire, the installation must be carried out by a qualified installer. When
installing this clothes dryer, follow both the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
Avoid using flexible plastic venting materials for the clothes dryer. Instead, use a specific
type of venting material, which is approved by the manufacturer for use with clothes dryers.
Flexible materials can collapse, get easily crushed and trap lint, which obstructs the airflow
and increases the fire risk.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all instructions in this manual.
To ensure your safety, properly ground this appliance. In case of any malfunction or
breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock – it provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current. This appliance comes with a cord that has an equipment-
grounding conductor, which has been grounded according to all local codes and ordinances.
Always prioritise proper grounding for electrical appliances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a serious risk of
electric shock. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician or a representative from the
manufacturer. Do not attempt to modify the appliance plug. If the plug does not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Ensure the dryer is placed on firm and level ground. Avoid placing the dryer on carpet, as
this can block the intake and affect its performance. There should be at least 10cm of space
between the dryer and the surrounding walls, so air can circulate properly.

Operating your dryer
Electrical requirements
Plug this appliance into a reliably
grounded three-pin socket.
Plug the power cord into the socket.
Loading the dryer
Place items into the dyer one at a time.
This ensures they do not get tangled,
which results in uneven drying. When
closing the dryer door before starting the
unit, ensure items are not jammed in the
door.
Tips before drying
Before loading the dryer, ensure items do
not have the following symbols anywhere
on them. If they do, they cannot be
tumble dried.
• Before drying, ensure laundry does not
have lighters, hairpins, coins or other
combustible materials or foreign objects
on them.
• Turn items with zippers inside out and
fasten the buckles.
• The heat from the dryer may cause
stains to be permanent. Before drying,
ensure stains are removed.
• Separate dark and light-coloured
laundry, as you would do when
washing.
• For the best results, load the dryer with
similar fabrics. Place small and delicate
items in a mesh bag – do not overload
the dryer.
• When loading the dryer, do not exceed
5.5 lbs of dry textile material. The
tumble dryer is for drying textile
materials that have been washed in
water.

Control Panel Functions
Remaining time display (in minutes)
Light bar: Displays various colours, such as red, white,
blue and green, corresponding to different modes
Power button
When the cord is connected to the socket, the power button is slightly lit. When you touch the
power button, other buttons and descriptions on the control panel will appear - the dryer
enters standby.
Mode Button
This button is used to select different drying modes, as described below.
a) Strong drying: When selecting this mode, the light bar will turn red. The default
remaining time will display at '150' minutes. The heater will operate at full power. Once the
set time (150 minutes) elapses, the appliance will automatically shut down, completing the
drying process. This mode is ideal for large-sized clothing items.
b) Intelligent drying: When selecting this mode, the light bar will turn white. Instead of
displaying a specific remaining time, this display will show 'IHS', which stands for
intelligent. The heater operates at full power, providing efficient and optimal heating for
laundry. Once clothes are fully dried, the dryer will automatically shut down.
c) Additional low heat drying: When selecting this mode, the light bar will turn blue. The
remaining time will be displayed as 30 minutes. The heater does not heat, but the drying
process runs for the set time (30 minutes) before automatically shutting down. This
procedure is for removing unpleasant odours from clothing, such as when clothes have
been stored for long periods.
d) Normal drying: When selecting this mode, the light bar will turn green. The remaining
time will be displayed as ‘90’ minutes. The heater operates at half the power. Once the set
time (90 minutes) elapses, the appliance will automatically shut down, completing the
drying process. This mode has two functions: ironing, which doesn’t last for more than 90
minutes. Once the set time lapses, the laundry will still contain moisture for easy ironing.
The other function is drying – this is usually no less than 120 minutes. This is generally
used for small pieces of clothing or a small amount of laundry.
Note: When the dryer is in use, this button is inactive. To change the mode, touch the
‘Start/Pause’ button to pause the dryer, then press this button to change the mode.
Time Button
This button is used to set the drying time. With each touch, the time increases by 20 minutes,
up to a maximum of 200 minutes. If the remaining time is more than 180 minutes, touching
the button makes it jump to 20 minutes. Note: In the ‘Intelligent Drying’ mode, this button
becomes inactive. It is also inactive while the dryer is running. To change the time during
operation, press the ‘Start/Pause’ button to pause the dryer, then adjust the time using the
‘Time’ button.

Operation precautions
Before drying, place delicate items into a
nylon net bag. Underwire bras are not
recommended for this dryer.
Keep foreign objects out of this dryer.
Empty all pockets and fasten buttons,
buckles and zips. This also helps reduce
the impact noise when laundry hits the
turning drum.
Whilst the dryer is in use, do not add extra
items.
When drying blankets and other large
items, it is recommended to open the door
occasionally, shake the item and place it
back into the dryer to dry. This ensures
even drying.
To get the best out of the anti-wrinkle
function, do not overload the dryer and
remove dried items immediately, hanging
them on coat hangers. Iron items if
needed.
To minimise fire risk, follow these steps:
• If garments have been spotted or
soaked in vegetable or cooking oil, do
not place them in this tumble dryer – this
is a fire hazard.
Oil-affected items 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 oil-
affected items can prevent heat from
escaping, creating a fire hazard.

If you have fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair
care products, and you cannot avoid putting them in a tumble dryer, make sure you wash
them with extra detergent. This will help reduce potential hazards, although it will not
completely eliminate them.
When using this tumble dryer, use the ‘cool down’ cycle to lower the temperature of items
inside. Do not remove the items from the dryer or pile them up while they are still hot.
If items have been exposed to petrol, gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances, do not put them in this tumble dryer.
Be aware that certain highly flammable substances are commonly used in domestic
environments. These include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some
brands of spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) and other rubber-like materials
should not be dried in a tumble dryer in a heat setting.
When heated, foam rubber materials can spontaneously combust, which is a fire risk.
• Avoid using fabric softeners or similar products in a tumble dryer to eliminate static
electricity, unless the fabric softener manufacturer specifically recommends it for this
purpose.
• Do not put undergarments that have metal reinforcements in a tumble dryer.
Items with metal reinforcements can cause damage if the metal comes loose during the
drying process. If possible, use a drying rack for such items to avoid damage.
• Avoid putting shower caps, baby waterproof napkin covers or other plastic articles in this
tumble dryer.
• Do not place rubber-backed articles, clothes with foam rubber pads, pillows, goloshes or
rubber-coated tennis shoes in the tumble dryer.
