Operation Cautions

Clothes with ribbon or lace
should be dried in a nylon net

Put chemical fiber and/or clothes
with ribbon or lace
into a nylon net
before drying.

Clothes with zipper

Dry this kind of clothes with zipper
zipped or fastener
buckled and inside
out (to reduce the
impact noise between
metal and the drum)

Do not load your dryer when
it is running.

Loading the dryer when it is running
shall be avoided
to prevent the
clothes over dried
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
(such as overcoat) in the drum, uneven
drying therefore happens sometimes.
If necessary, flip them over manually
from time to time to make them dried
completely.

Flip over clothes

Avoid to dry starched clothes in
your dryer to prevent link filter
from clogging, which may lead
to bad exhaust performance.

Put rumpled clothes in order

Put all clothes in order after
dehydrated
before drying
them.

Anti-wrinkle method for clothes
crumpled easily

Decrease capacity to get good anti­wrinkle result (the capacity shall be
4/5 of that of normal clothes).

Capacity reduced

•

Remove the clothes out of your dryer
as early as possible
to reduce rumples.

special bracket to prevent vibration and noise. Keep a dista
nce of 10cm-15cm away from the rear wall when installing.

The dryer has air intake and exhaust cycles,which
needs good air-exhaust vent in the rear and well-vented
room. If used in a small space, air exchange fan or
exhaust duct can be installed at the vent to exhaust
hot wet air outdoors.

The length of exhaust duct shall not exceed 2m.

Install and use the fixed legs of your dryer

Using Method

Do not tumble dry

Hang to dry

Drip dry

Dry flat

Dry in the shade

1. Plug the power cord

The appliance shall be supplied with230V,50Hz,
connected to a special receptacle more than
10A (reliably grounded).

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

6. Do not take the laundry out until drying process is done

The last 20 minutes of hot air drying is cooling
to reduce the temperature of laundry inside
the drum.
To take the laundry out during drying, please
run cooling operation first since the temperature
inside the drum must be high.
Static electricity, due to friction, will be
generated on clothes made of chemical fibre
after dried. You can feel it when taking them out,
which is normal and shall not to be worried about.

7. Unplug the power cord

Please hold plug to unplug power cord from
a receptacle. Do not pull electrical wire directly
to prevent internal breakage or bad connection.

8. Clean filters

Clean the lint filter after every load and before each use. A clean filter ensures
sufficient drying. A layer of lint on the filter reduces airflow through the clothes
and prolongs drying time
Refer to the instructions on page 11.
