Attention on safety
Caution on Installation
•Don't install in bathroom, highly humid place or place exposed to a rainstorm. It might
cause an electric shock, electric leakage or a fire.
Installation Position
•Don’t put dangerous things, flower and pets nearby gas dryer. Flowers and pets may
die due to the exhaust gas and steam come out from the humidity duct.
• Don’t install dryer at places which affect other residents.
• Choose the place which can support the weight of dryer and will not amplify
noise and vibration which may damage building structure and create noise.
•Don’t use it at place where a lot of lint dust exist, which may cause
damages to dryer.
Ventilation
(i) For safe operation, the room in which the dryer is placed must be well ventilated. This includes
an openable window or equivalent#which must be opened during use.
(ii) If no humidity duct (venting hose) is fitting, the room shall be provided with air vents which
communicate directly with outside air and are sized in accordance with the following table:
Room Volume (m3) < 5 5 – 10 > 10
Minimum permanent opening free area (cm2) 100 50*Nil
(iii) If humidity duct is connected, air vent is not necessary.
Note
# Alternative acceptable forms of opening include adjustable louver, hinged panel or other means of ventilation that open
directly to outside air.
*If the room has a door which opens directly to outside, no permanent opening is required.

Usual Care
Warning
Caution
Attention on safety
Humidity Duct Installation
•For optimal function of the machine, the length of dia. 80mm humidity duct is recommended not
to exceed 6m and 1 bend. Reduce 2m when adding one bend.
•Maximum allowable length is 11m and 1 bend (equivalent to 5m and 4 bends) for dia. 80mm
humidity duct. Reduce 2m when adding one bend. Under this condition, the machine still
functions safely and normally, however, the drying time and the frequency of lint filter cleaning
may increase.
Caution for Children
•Don’t let children use the dryer alone or place it at location
reachable by children. This may cause burning or electrical
shock if misused.
Installation Place
• Don’t install the dryer at unstable place which may cause accident by falling off.
•Don’t install the dryer under a shelf or place with falling off objects which may damage
the dryer.
•Don’t use the dryer at place which need dehumidification since the exhaust flue
contains moisture.
•Don’t install the dryer on the electrical carpet or hot water mat which will cause
accident.
•Install the dryer with enough distance from the flammable objects such as furniture,
wall and shelf etc. Confirm

Attention on safety
Usual Care
General Home Appliances
• Dryer is for domestic use only. Do not use for commercial application. It may shorten the
life time.
Cautions for Drying
•Neither add extra clothes nor open the door during drying. Clothes may become
unevenly dry.
• Don’t put heavy things or hang down the door by children. It may cause
damages.
• In case of a power failure during operation, restart the dryer after the power is resumed.
How to handle clothes
•Too much clothes cause uneven drying and trouble. In case the spin-dry clothes are
over-loading into the dryer, divide them into 2 batches and dry separately.
• Wet clothes kept inside the dryer may cause corrosion and trouble due to the moisture.
•Don’t dry the glued clothes which may cause blocking at the filter. Use the glued spray
after drying.
•Enough spin dry by washing machine is required before using the dryer. If not
properly dehydrated, the drying time may take longer, and result in damages to
the dryer and leakage of electricity.
•When using chlorine bleach on clothes, they should be fully rinse before drying. If the
chlorine bleach remains, it may cause damages.
• Clothes stuck between front door and dryer drum may cause trouble to the drum turning and this
is dangerous.
Enough Dehydration
