Always follow the instructions on garment labels:

Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings. Sort laundry according to type and
degree of drying required.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.
The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
Easy-care items, too, e. g. shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying.
Knitted textiles(knitted underwear) may shringk a little during drying. Please do not over-dry items of this
type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.

Note : All the above data in the table came out base on “ ” which tested according to En61121:2013

standard. These data may be different because of different laundry type, residual moisture, environmental
conditions and voltage fluctuation.

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. Whilst
drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the
room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an
open window, this may occur naturally. However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer’s exhaust outside
via the vent hose supplied with the appliance; ending either temporarily at an open window, or permanently
at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Make sure there are no
obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back(e.g.paper,rags etc). To keep
vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.

When pushing down the edges of the dryer top plate diagonally,
the machine should not move up and down at all.(please check
both of two directions) if the machine rocks when pushing the
machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

The feet must nevet be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile carpets, strips of

wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.
Important:

must there not be installed in floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the other in the left hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A)from the vent outlet at the
back, aligning arrows of hose and ring nut, fastening by screwing hose to the direction of arrow and pushing it
firmly back into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap cover(B)provided.

Advice:
If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense inside the
hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from lying in the
hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill small hole (dia.3 mm) in
the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it. (See picture, point B) .
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, it contains

no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed
wall/window grille, a good local builder’s merchant should be able to supply you with
the necessary fittings and installation advice.

It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry
its auste outside the kitchen.
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially
squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.

Electrical connection
Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s
rating plate.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter or by the
earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

A cut off plug inserted into a socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
Permanent connection

Warning

In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.
>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.
Old machine
Use authorized disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as

10

household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased
the product.
The Symbol mean: caution, risk of fire Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble 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 oilaffected items can prevent heat from escaping and so 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 in hot water with extra detergent - this
will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

Ecological hints

To save energy and to help protect the environ ment, we recommend that you follow these hints:
Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

Do not over-dry laundry,this avoids creasing and saves energy.

Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the required degree of dryness.

Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.

Ventilate the room well.
