General Safety Instructions
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference, along with the completed warranty card and purchase receipt. If applicable,
pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when using
an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage indicated on the appliance rating label and your outlet socket is properly
earthed. If this is not the case, do not use the dryer.
• Separate circuit: We strongly recommend you connect the appliance to a separate
circuit serving only this appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading the house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from
overheating.
• Electrical hazard: Do not insert any objects into the appliance.
• No extension cord: Never use this clothes dryer with a power adaptor or an
extension cord.
• Protect the power cord. Do not kink or damage the power cord. Position the cord
out of the way so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. Do
not run the cord under floor coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas
where it will not become a trip hazard.
• Damage: Do not operate the appliance after it malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged. In case of damage, contact the after sales support line for advice.
• Damaged cord: If the power supply cord is damaged, do not attempt to change
it yourself. A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by the manufacturer or a
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Disconnect: Unplug the clothes dryer from the power supply after use, before
cleaning, servicing or moving the appliance. To disconnect, turn the appliance off,
switch off the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet. Grip the
plug when disconnecting; do not pull on the cord.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
Usage conditions and restrictions
• Domestic use only: This appliance is designed and intended for indoor household
use only. It is not suitable for commercial or outdoor use. Do not use it for anything
other than its intended purpose (drying domestic quantities of clothes or washing),
and only use it as described in this manual.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Usage restriction: The 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: Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the dryer. Close
supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Installation requirements: Do not install the appliance In a tight fitting cabinet.
Do not install it near heat sources such as radiators, heaters, air ducts or direct
sunlight. If the clothes dryer is not wall-mounted, place it on a flat, firm, dry and
stable floor in a well ventilated area. Use the adjustable legs to assist in levelling the
dryer if required. Do not place it on any soft material such as foam or plastic.
• Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Ensure that vents are not
covered by newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
• Before use: Make sure to remove transport packaging at the rear of the dryer.
WARNING: Before loading the dryer, always ensure no pet or young child has
climbed into it. Do not overload the clothes dryer.
• Suitability for tumble drying: Only load suitable items into the clothes dryer. See
the box on the opposite page for which items and materials are unsuitable for the
clothes dryer and may present a fire risk.
• Preparation: Make sure all pockets of clothing to be dried are empty. Hard, sharp
objects such as coins, safety pins, bra wires, nails, screws, lighters or matches
must be removed as they can cause extensive damage to the dryer.
WARNING: Any damage or malfunction resulting from foreign objects is not
covered by your warranty and may lead to expensive repairs.
• No open flames: Do not place open flame sources such as candles on the dryer.
• Hot surface: The door window may be hot after a long drying cycle. Always ensure
children are kept away from the machine.
• Cool down: The final part of a clothes dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down
cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that will not damage them.
Never stop the clothes dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are
removed quickly and spread out so the heat is dissipated.
• Subsequent cycles: After turning off the power supply to the clothes dryer, wait at
least two minutes before turning it back on again.
• Repair: Except for the filters that require cleaning, this appliance contains no user-
serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to open, disassemble or repair it yourself;
only have it serviced by qualified personnel, call the after sales support line.
• Liability: Improper use or installation may result in the risk of fire, electric shock
and/or injury. We assume no liability for any eventual damages caused by improper
use or handling, or by any other noncompliance with the instructions in this manual.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
CAUTION!
The items listed below are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying.
They can cause fire in the clothes dryer or extensive damage.
DO NOT place the following items into the clothes dryer.
:Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured
rubber-like materials —when heated, these materials can spontaneously
combust and cause a fire.
:Items that have been spotted or soaked with cooking oil, or with highly
flammable substances — these substances constitute a fire hazard.
(Highly flammable substances used in domestic environments include acetone,
alcohol, petrol, kerosene, some stain removers, dry-cleaning solvents,
turpentine, waxes, wax removers and some hair care products.)
Washing these items thoroughly beforehand in hot water with an extra amount
of detergent will reduce, but not necessarily eliminate the hazard. The ‘cool
down’ cycle of a clothes dryer should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the clothes dryer or piled or stacked
while hot.
:Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras),
which can come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer.
:Plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs.
:Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.
:Fabric softeners or similar products, unless they are specifically recommended
by the product manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects
of static electricity.
CAUTION!
• Do not use the tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Do not allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the
room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat, such as in a clothes 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 and so
create a fire hazard.

Unpacking
• Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made
sure your new clothes dryer is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic
wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all
packaging materials are out of their reach.
• Make sure to remove the transport packaging at the rear of the clothes dryer.
• Inspect the cord and plug for damage or wear before each use. Do not use the
appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged or are not working
properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support line.

Instructions
Loading the dryer
• Prior to loading the dryer, check that none of your items have the following
symbols anywhere on them. These symbols indicate that items are UNSUITABLE
for clothes drying.
• Make sure that the items to be dried do not have combustible materials or foreign
object (such as lighters, hair pins, coins) inside pockets.
• To avoid items getting tangled up in the dryer,
which results in uneven drying, we recommend
placing items into the dryer one at a time.
• Turn items with zippers inside out and fasten
buckles. This will also help reduce impact noise
when the items hit against the turning drum.
• As the dryer heat may permanently set stains,
ensure you check prior to drying.
• Separate dark and light coloured items as you would do when washing.
• For best results, load the dryer with similar fabrics that take similar period of time
for drying (see page 15 for suggested drying times).
• Place small delicate items in a mesh bag; do not put too many items into one
bag. (It is not recommended to dry underwire bras in a clothes dryer.)
• When drying large items such as a blanket, we
recommended you open the dryer door and shake
out the item from time to time, then place the item
back in the dryer and close the door. This will ensure
even drying.
• Do not overload the dryer: the maximum amount
of dry textile material that can be dried efficiently in one load is 4.0kg.
• The clothes dryer is intended only for drying textile
material washed in water.
• When closing the dryer door prior to starting the unit,
ensure that items are not jammed in the door.
• Do not add items into the dryer while it is operating.
CAUTION!
Make sure you read all safety precautions in this manual and are aware of the items
(listed on page 5) that cause a hazard if placed in the clothes dryer.

Instructions (Cont.)
The control panel at the front of the clothes dryer consists of the Heat Selector and
the Drying Program Selector/Timer.
3 Off
In the ‘Off’ position, no power is supplied
to the dryer. As soon as you turn the dial
clockwise, the dryer will start.
8 Air dry
Use this setting for airing items. No heat is generated, the items will only be refreshed
with cool air.
7 Extra Dry program (150-200 minutes)
This program is suitable for drying large quantities or bulky items, and the dryer drum
is more than half full. Select the ‘High’ heat option and set the timer to more than
150 minutes.
6 Warm program (60-150 minutes)
If your items do not need residual moisture for easy ironing (such as towels), set the
Heat Selector to ‘High’ and the timer to between 60 and 150 minutes (depending on
the amount of items in the dryer). At this setting the dryer will thoroughly dry (and cool
down) items and, depending on the material, leave them as wrinkle-free as possible.
5 Mild dry program (30-60 minutes)
With the Heat Selector set to ‘Low’ and the
drying time set to 30-60 minutes, the motor
will generate warm air to gently dry items
that are difficult to iron. This program is
particularly suitable for items such as cotton
or linen shirts that crease easily when they
are completely dry. Once the motor stops,
the items will still contain moisture, making
ironing easier.
4 Cool program (0-20 minutes)
Towards the end of the drying cycle, the
motor will generate cool air to cool the items
that have just been dried. This helps to
prevent creasing.
1 Heat selector
Select ‘Low’ for delicate items made of silk, polyester, etc.
Select ‘High’ for particularly bulky items or large quantities.
2 Drying program selector/timer
Turn the drying program selector/timer in
clockwise direction to set the drying time.

Maintenance
To prolong the service life of your clothes dryer, keep it in good condition and clean
the filters regularly.
Cleaning the lint filter
The lint filter must be in place whenever drying. It must be cleaned before each use.
1. To remove the filter, insert your fingers into the four holes around the exhaust vent
shroud and pull out the filter assembly. It consists of three parts: the exhaust vent
shroud, the lint filter and the exhaust filter, as illustrated below.
CAUTION: Before cleaning or maintenance, unplug the dryer from the wall socket.
The filter is affixed to
the back of the drum.
2. Separate the three parts (exhaust vent shroud, lint filter and exhaust filter) and,
using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner, clean any lint off the lint filter and exhaust
filter, as illustrated below. Take care not to damage the filters.
3. After cleaning, assemble the parts in the sequence of exhaust filter - lint filter -
exhaust vent shroud, aligning the recesses in the centre with the projection in the
centre of the drum. Make sure that the filter assembly is firmly inserted.
NOTE: The filter fixed on the rear of the drum should also be cleaned with a soft
brush.
