• Group the clothes of the same kind (cotton, synthetics, woolen) to dry.

• Dark and light colored clothes should be separately dried. Fabrics prone to falling

lint should be turned inside out before putting into the dryer.

• Make sure buttons and ornaments on the clothes are high temperature resistant

and won’t damage drum surface. Before loading, the clothes should have their zippers zipped up, buttons and hooks done up and belts tied so as to avoid entanglement or other obstacles.

• If possible, turn out the clothes pockets for uniform drying.

• Check if clothes remain soiled. If yes, wash it again, otherwise the soils after dry-

ing may stain permanently.

• Small articles should be collected in a mesh bag before loading and drying, so as

to avoid entanglement and ensure easy removal.

• Make sure power socket is reliably grounded. The grounding terminal should not

be connected to gas or tap water pipelines.

• Make sure exhaust duct has been connected with extension pipe.

• Make sure lint filter is clean and then assemble it properly. If lint filter is not in

place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the dryer.

Note: It applies to Auto Dry cycle and Timed Dry cycle. For Rack Dry

cycle, remove the lint filter and assemble the drying rack. Raise the front end and lock it into the lint filter slot. The assemble is as shown in the following figure:

mented with medium and small articles.

• Avoid excessive drying of clothes to prevent wrinkles, shrinkage, roughness, elec-

trostatic charge accumulation and lint.
