Safety Instructions
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DRYER SAFETY
WARNING! Failure to follow these safety instructions could damage the clothes dryer or your clothes. You may then
not be covered by warranty for this damage.
Only plug this appliance directly into an AC power supply which is properly earthed and had the correct voltage.
Refer to the appliance rating plate (located on the rear of your clothes dryer) for the voltage information.
Caution! If this appliance is supplied from an extension cord, power-board or other power adapter, the extension
cord/power-board must be positioned so that it is not subject to moisture or risk of moisture. For safety reasons, we
strongly advise against the use of double adaptors, power-boards, extension leads or other similar devices.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Important!
• If the electrical cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer, Authorised Service
Agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Damage to the appliance, including the power
cord, is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and a fee for service may be payable.
• These dryers are for drying clothes, towels and linen at home. They are not designed or intended for use in
Commercial environments. Do not use them for any other purpose.
• The dryer is not to be used with any clothing articles which have had industrial chemicals used for cleaning.
• This appliance is only intended for use indoors only within a domestic environment.
• The lint trap must be cleaned frequently- we strongly recommend this is done after each use.
• Adequate ventilation must be provided.
• Never dry unwashed items with your clothes dryer.
• Never use your clothes dryer to dry items such as latex, foam rubber, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles,
or pillows fitted with foam.
• Ensure all objects are removed from pockets.
• Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Always check your clothing items care labels to ensure they are suitable for use within your dryer.
WARNING! The final cycle of your clothes dryer programs is a cool down cycle to reduce the temperature of your
clothes. This is incredibly important to ensure that your clothing items won’t be damaged. 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.

FIRE HAZARDS
Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble drying. The following MUST NOT be placed in your dryer due to the risk of a
fire or an explosion:
• Item(s) that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil, cooking oil, suntan oil, linseed oil, salad oil,
lubrication oil or grease. Oil affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources
such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing as oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates
heat. If heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to ignite. Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected
items can prevent heat from escaping and 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 is hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The final
part of tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (Cooling cycle) to ensure that the items are left at the temperature
that ensures that the items will not be damage.
• Item(s) that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals
used only for cleaning, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances are highly flammable.
Highly flammable or explosive commonly found around the house include acetone, (nail polish remover)
denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should
not be put in the dryer. Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials. Foam rubber materials can produce fire by spontaneous combustion when heated.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber-coated sports
shoes.
For your safety, and to reduce the risk of fire or an explosion, DO NOT store or use petrol or other inflammable
vapours and liquids near your dryer.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
WARNING! LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD.
A clean lint filter greatly improves your dryers efficiency and reduces drying times, saves energy and avoids
overheating. Overheating may also damage your clothes.
Tip! If your lint filter isn’t emptied between drying loads, we estimate the drying time can double after 4-5 cycles and
triple after 8 cycles. Aside from creating a risk of fire, this results in a significant increase in energy consumption to dry
your clothes.
You must empty your lint filter after each and every load.
The lint filter is located on the inside of the door- shown below (Figure 1).
Figure 1- Lint filter location within your vented dryer.
Safety Instructions (Continued)

6
To remove the lint filter, open the dryer door and simply lift the plastic filter out from its housing. You can click the
lint filter open to allow easy access to remove the lint. Ensure that the plastic filter is clicked closed again before
replacing into your clothes dryer.
Tip! The lint filter can only be inserted into its housing in one way.
Important!
• Never operate your dryer without the lint filter in its correct position.
• Do not allow lint to build up around the dryer (on the door itself, inside the drum, around the lint filter itself, etc).
• A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced immediately- cease use until this is replaced.
• Do not overload your dryer. Overloading can increase lint build-up because the airflow is reduced.
Tip! To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that you pay for a qualified appliance technician to inspect and
clean your dryer periodically.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER
Your dryer is rated to 7kg of dry clothing. Loads must not exceed this rated capacity.
Important! Always check your clothing’s care label information to ensure they are suitable for use within dryers.
Excessive drying is one of the most damaging things we do to our laundry. International drying symbols (Figure 2
below) help you select a dryer cycle and a temperature.
Figure 2- International drying symbols used on your clothing care labels.
• If the care label has a circle inside a square, your item can be tumble dried.
• The more dots on the iron symbol suggests the temperature of heat that can be applied:
• 1 dot = low temperature
• 2 dots = medium temperature
• 3 dots = high temperature
• If there is a cross over the tumble dry symbol, you should not tumble dry the item. It’s recommended for air-drying
only.
Some guidelines for various fabric types:
• Permanent press and synthetics - take out as soon as the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.
• Woollen articles - not recommended. Pull them to their original shape, then dry them flat. Vented dryers can
shrink woollen articles.
• Woven and loop knit materials - may shrink, by varying amount, depending on their quality. Do not use the
“Extra” Dryness setting for these fabrics, Always stretch them out immediately after drying.
• Fibre or leather materials - always check the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Baby clothes and night gowns - acrylic clothing or sleepwear use only on the “Light” Dryness setting.
• Rubber and plastics - Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics, such as aprons, bibs,
babies’ water proof napkins, curtains, tablecloths, shower caps, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes, or rubber coated tennis shoes.
• Fibreglass - not recommended, glass particles left in the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time
you use the dryer and irritate your skin.

Technical Specifications
Caution! Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Note We strongly advise against the use of fabric conditioners of the sheet type that are added to the clothes in the
drum. These products may lead to rapid blockage of the lint filter and inefficient operation of your dryer.
UNPACKING
During transportation, protective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage. After
unpacking, please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause damage to the environment. All

Installation Instructions
POWER SOURCE AND GROUNDING
It’s recommended to use the dryer on its own dedicated power outlet for both convenience and safety. The power
outlet must be grounded.
Important! If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by your local distributor or one of its authorised service
representatives. Please contact your local Customer Care team and ensure the appliance is completely disconnected
from the power supply.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Refer to the diagrams on page 9 of this manual.
Step 1: Your Dryer should be placed in a ventilated area with a minimum of 80mm between the top of the dryer
and ceiling and with no less than 10cm distance from the wall or cabinetry. It is also recommended that there are no
obstacles within 1.5m of the dryers’ front, to ensure ease of operation and ventilation.
Determine a location to mount the dryer and attach both horizontal and vertical screw position templates to the
wall (Fig. 6). Ensure each bracket position can be securely fastened (eg. Into the stud). Fit timber slats (not supplied) if
necessary.
Step 2: Fix the wall hanging brackets and both left/right support brackets to the wall securely in accordance with the
template (Fig. 7).
Tip! Ensure power cord and plug is accessible and reaches a power source.
• Mounting Into Wood: Fix all brackets to the wall securely (eg. into the stud) with a suitable screw (not supplied).
Fit additional timber slats (not supplied) between the studs to mount the bracket onto if the stud position is too
wide.
• Mounting Into Concrete: Drill 8 holes on the wall with a 12mm diameter according to the screw position
templates. Fix all brackets to the wall securely with expansion screw bolts supplied.
Step 3: With assistance, mount the dryer on wall bracket, upright or inverted depending on personal preference.
Caution Weight Hazard. Two or more people required to lift and install the dryer.
• Ensure brackets are fixed to the wall securely.
• Ensure hanging brackets are pushed into position and dryer is placed on the support brackets before slowly
releasing the full weight onto the brackets (Fig. 8).
Step 4: Remove and then replace the control panel with the supplied inverted control panel. Install the plastic cover
on the top of the dryer.
Note: Use a spirit level to ensure that your dryer is horizontally level, whether it be on the ground or wall mounted.
As with all appliances with moving internal parts, it’s essential that the dryer is level as it will effect it’s balance and
operation.
Important! Please ensure that the dyer is only ever installed in an internal environment only (and not outside), or an
environment where the dryer could become wet. Never place the dryer near combustible surfaces (such as curtains)
and ensure the dryer isn’t operating near gas or other flammable materials. Refer to section 1 of this user manual.

Operating Your Vented Dryer (Continued)
DETAILED OPERATION
Step 1: Preparation before drying
• Clothes should be washed before use within the dryer.
• Always ensure the same types of clothes are dried together.
• Try to sort your clothes to be dried into load that take a similar time to dry (for example heavier items separate
from light items).
• Make sure any decorations or buttons on your clothing items are safe for high temperatures and well protected.
• It is recommended to turn your clothes inside-out.
• Please ensure that the power cord is in perfect condition before use. Should there be any damage to the power
cord or plug, please immediately isolate the dryer from power and contact our After Sales Service Team.
Step 2: Check the filter
• Make sure that the filter is always clean and in the correct position.
• The filter must be cleaned regularly, after each use.
Step 3: Loading the dryer
• For faster drying results, load the dryer to ½ -> 2/3 capacity of the drum. This will allow the clothes and air to
circulate evenly.
• When drying a small load of clothes or even expensive clothes, it’s best to add some towels that won’t lose fibres,
as this will help the wet clothes to dry more evenly.
• To avoid creases or static charges on your clothes, it’s important to ensure you don’t over-dry your items.
Tip! Refer to the Reference weights of clothing articles (when dry) in the table below, to assist with avoiding
overloading your dryer.
Figure 9- Reference weights for various clothing articles when they are dry
Step 4: Close the dryer door
• The door will click when fully closed.
Step 5: Select your settings
• Set your desired dryer Program, relevant to your load type, along with your preferred Dryness level.
• The various drying programs and the Dryness level options for each program, are outlined in the table on the
following page.

16
PROGRAM FUNCTIONS
Note: Maximum capacity for loads is based on the clothing when dry.
Tip! At the completion of a drying program, the clothes dryer will circulate cold air. This ensures that your clothing is
left at a temperature and that your clothes aren’t damaged.
Note: the energy rating was calculated using the Cotton program and Extra dryness level.
Step 6: End of the drying program
• At the completion of its last heating cycle, a buzzer will sound for 1 second and then begin the cooling cycle. Once
the cooling cycle is complete, the dryer’s buzzer will sound one more time.
• Remove your clothes from the dryer.
Step 7: Take out the plug
• Just to be safe, always unplug the dryer after each use.
Step 8: Clean the filter and inner drum
• Accumulated dust and fibres will effect the air circulation inside the dryer and will cause longer drying times.
Important! Always ensure the dryer is switched off and unplugged before cleaning.
OTHER OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS
Anti-crease Function
The Anti-Crease function adds a short amount of time at the end of your drying program to shake the clothes and
reduce creasing. Press this button to add the function to your selected drying program/settings. The LED light above
the Anti-Crease button will alight to indicate that it’s active.
Child Lock
Your dryer has the ability to lock the controls to prevent accidental operation or changing of settings. If you would
like to activate the Child Lock safety feature, simply press both the “Program” and “Dryness” buttons simultaneously
for 3 seconds. The LED indicator next to the lock symbol will alight to indicate that the Child Lock is active.

GENERAL HINTS
• Never tumble dry the following: Delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon
tights, bulky materials such as blankets, eiderdown, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any item containing rubber
foam or materials similar to foam rubber.
• Do not directly place undergarments such as bras and corsets that contain metal reinforcements, into your dryer.
Your dryer may be damaged if a metal part were to come loose from the garment. Place such items in a bag
designed for this purpose.
• Check and empty pockets. Clip, pens, nails and pins can damage both the dryer and your clothes. Other item
such as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire.
• Close all press studs, hooks, eyes and zips that may catch on something else. Tie all belts and aprons string to
prevent tangling.
• Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction, load size and wetness. Save time and money and
always spin the load as dry as possible your washing machine.
• Always clean the lint filter-this will reduce drying time and save you money.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying. Do not place hand washed items that have not been
spun, into the dryer.
• To avoid static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry
or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
• Clothes or towels containing sand or grit should be washed first.
• Due to variations in dryer load fabric texture and thickness it is possible that not all items will be dried evenly. If
you experience uneven dryness on the Standard program please use the Extra Program but be mindful of the
type of fabric being dried to avoid over drying certain types of fabric. Always follow drying instructions attached
to the items intended to be dried in a clothes dryer.
• Drying time will also be effected by voltage fluctuations, room temperature and humidity. Clothes will dry more
slowly on a cool or humid day.
• For best results, sort the load according to fabric. Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry (i.e. towels,
flannelette sheets, etc) than ones which dry quickly (i.e. cotton shirts and sheets).
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured items such as towels as lint will show on the dark clothes.
• Some fabrics will collect lint from other clothes and items. Separate those articles prone to causing lint and those
prone to collecting lint, to minimise this problem. Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies, chenille. Clothes
that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and permanent press garments.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, you may need to run another program, or allow the items to finish
drying naturally outside the dryer. This will be necessary particularly for multi-layered items (i.e. collars, pockets,
etc).
