for future reference.
REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD
SUFFOCATING.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
Because a condensing type has been adopted, which condenses and processes air inside the dryer,
external ventilation is not required.
Therefore, The dryer can be installed and used in any location where the temperature is between 5
and 35 degrees centigrade, unlike a conventional dryer that requires an external exhaust system.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
To operate safely and properly, your new Dryer requires minimum clearances of:
Sides – 25 mm Rear – 51 mm
Top – 25 mm Front – 465 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have at
least 465 mm unobstructed air opening.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Requirements is AC 220~240 V / 50 Hz, AC220 V / 60 Hz (Philippines Only).
• Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, It is your
responsibility to provide adequate electrical services for your dryer.
GROUNDING
Your dryer must be grounded. If your dryer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Your dryer comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and
grounded outlet.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the dryer is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the dryer. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
If the product is not grounded, there is a danger of fire or electric shock.

INSTALLATION SIDE BY SIDE
For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a professional. To install:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider
installing the dryer and washer side-by-side. Lay two of the carton
cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it will lay across
both cushion-tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.
3. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must
be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,the
floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.
To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the
levelling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the legs
by turning them clockwise
Adjust the levelling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer.Extending the levelling feet more
than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
4. Review Electrical Requirements section (See page 11).
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING.
5. With a level, check your dryer and make necessary adjustments to the levelling legs.
6. Plug in your dryer, and check operation by using the checklist below.
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Dryer is plugged into electrical outlet and is properly grounded.
Dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor.
Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1. Over the edge of a wash basin: The drain hose must be placed lower than 90cm. If the end
of the drain hose needs to be placed above the ground, we recommend a height of 60cm ~
90cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the
guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose
from moving.
2. Assemble the drain hose and the hose guide and fix them with the cable-tie.
3. You can drain the condensed water by connecting the accessory hose (long drain hose) to
the drain-outlet directly.
Connecting the direct-hose
You can immediately drain the condensed water that comes out while drying, by connecting the
drain hose to the tap.
1. Assemble the hose connector and the hose.
Since there is a danger of water leaking from the hose
connecter and accessory hose, make sure that they are
connected firmly.
2. Connect the end of the hose to the tap.
