it is running.

Loading the dryer when it is running
shall be avoided to prevent the clothes
overdried or
incompletely
dried.

Please flip clothes over manually
from time to time, if necessary,
when drying large ones.

It is not easy to flip over large clothes

your dryer to prevent link filter
from clogging, which may lead
to bad exhaust performance.

Put rumpled clothes in order

2. Place the dehydrated clothes in your dryer

Check the following items before putting clothes in.
They shall be loaded in such a way that 2-3 pieces
each time and not in a group to avoid tangling, which
is not easy to turn it over resulting in uneven drying
since the clothes were wrapped.
Please put clothes into the drum. Avoid clothes being

Check for stains that may not have been removed in washing.
Dryer heat may permanently set some stains. Properly dried clothes
will need minimum of care when removed from dryer.

For optimum results,use dryer load of similar fabric, weight and construction. Place
small items in a mesh bag prevent from tangling.Do not overload the dryer. An
average load will fill up half the drum.
