6
• Never use the tumble dryer if the power cable, the control panel, the working surface or
the base is damaged. Cease use immediately and contact help.Kogan.com for
support.
• The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should be used as specified by the fabric softener
instructions. 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.
• 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.
• Machine must be placed in a clean place, away from water, ice and combustible
materials. To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should
be placed on a firm, level surface.
• If the tumble dryer is not completely levelled, adjust the front feet up: to lower the dryer
by turning anti-clockwise and to ascend it by turning clockwise till the appliance will not
shake.
• Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

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.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• 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 soaked items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard.

grounding and must be inserted into a properly installed and grounded socket (in
accordance with all local rules and standards).
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by qualified
electrician or authorised personnel.
• Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that
indicated on the appliance's rating plate.
• A cut off plug inserted into a socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
• Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safety.
• In the case of permanent connection, it is necessary that you install a double pole
switch. The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Transport
• Exercise caution while moving the heat pump dryer. Avoid gripping any protruding
parts of the machine. Note that the machine door should not be used as a handle
during transportation.
• If the dryer needs to be transported in a non-upright position, it can be tilted no more
than 30°.
Risk of Injury and Damage
Improper handling of the appliance can lead to injuries. Consider the following precautions:
• The appliance is quite heavy. It should never be transported or carried alone. Always
seek assistance from another person.
• Clear the transport route and installation location of any obstacles, such as open doors
or objects on the floor.
• Do not use the open door as a handhold.
• Prior to setting up the tumble dryer, inspect it for any visible external damage. If there
are signs of damage, do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer and contact
help.Kogan.com for support.
• Avoid installing the tumble dryer in a room where frost is likely to occur. The tumble
dryer may not function properly at temperatures around freezing point. Freezing of the
condensed water in the pump and hoses can cause damage.
Installation Position
• Avoid installing the appliance behind a door that can be locked, a sliding door, or a
door with hinges on the opposite side of the tumble dryer. Such placement may restrict
the full opening of the tumble dryer door.
• Ensure that the floor clearance is not obstructed by deep pile carpets, wooden strips, or
similar objects. Obstructions can cause heat build-up, which can interfere with the
appliance's operation.
• For convenience, it is recommended to position the machine close to your washing
machine.
• Do not stack the dryer on a washing machine without using appropriate stacking kits. If
you intend to stack the dryer on a washing machine, purchase the necessary parts
separately. The installation should be carried out by a qualified individual to prevent
any hazards.
• The tumble dryer should be installed in a clean area where dirt does not accumulate. It
is important to ensure that there is sufficient air circulation around the appliance. Avoid
obstructing the front air inlet or the air intake grilles located at the back of the machine.
• To minimize vibration and noise during dryer operation, place it on a firm and level
surface.

13
• Never remove the feet of the dryer. They are an essential component of the appliance's
stability and should remain intact.
Level Adjusting
Once the dryer is in its permanent operating position, ensure the dryer is level with the aid of
a spirit level. If necessary, rotate the adjusting feet until the dryer is level.
Power Supply
1. Ensure that the voltage of the power supply is the same as the specification listed
in this user guide or on the rating plate on the appliance.
2. Do not connect the dryer using a power board, a universal plug or socket, do not
use multi-plug adapters and avoid using extension cords.

14
1. Leave the dyer to stand for at least 2 hours after transporting.
2. Use a soft cloth to clean the inside drum.
3. Place some clean rags into the drum.
4. Connect the power cord and press the Power button.
5. Select the “Refresh” programme and press Start/Pause button.
6. After finishing this programme, refer to the “cleaning and care” section of this user
guide to clean the filter. Note: During drying, the compressor and the water will
generate some noise which is entirely normal.
• Before drying, ensure that the laundry has been thoroughly spun in the washing
machine. Higher spin speeds reduce drying time and save energy.
• For consistent drying results, sort the laundry based on fabric type and select the
appropriate drying program.
• Before drying, please close zippers, hooks, eyelets, buttons, and tie fabric belts securely.
• Remove any objects from pockets, such as lighters and matches.
• Sew in or remove underwiring from bras before drying.
• Close duvet covers and pillowcases to prevent small items from getting rolled up inside
them.
• Keep jackets open and unzip any long zippers to allow textiles to dry evenly.
• Avoid over-drying clothes as excessive drying can lead to increased wrinkling.
• Do not dry items that contain rubber or similar elastic materials.
• Maintain cleanliness in the vicinity of the tumble dryer. Accumulation of coal dust or
flour can pose an explosion risk.
• The door should only be opened after the tumble dryer's program has finished to
prevent scalding from hot steam or an overheated drying machine.
• Clean the lint filter and empty the water tank after each use to prevent prolongation of
drying time and excessive energy consumption.
• Do not dry clothes that have undergone dry-cleaning processes.
