WARNING

• Incorrect installation can cause serious accidents.

• The weight of the appliance and the height of installation make the stacking procedure too risky for one person. This procedure should be performed by two or more qualified service personnel.

• The appliance is not suitable for a built-in installation. Please do not install as a built-in appliance.

• Do not operate if the appliance is not properly stacked.

Fasten the two screws that were removed

earlier from the dryer to the stacking kit.

(16 mm) to assemble the washing machine rear cover and stacking kit.

The procedure for the opposite side will be

the same.

Condensed Water Drain-out

Normally, condensed water is pumped up to the water container where water is collected until manually emptied. Water can also be drained out directly to a mains drain, especially when the dryer is stacked on top of a washing machine. With a connecting kit for the mains drain hose, simply change the water path and re-route to the drainage facility as below:

Separate the anti-backflow lid( ) and the

water container hose( ) from the connecting kit.

OPERATION

Using the Appliance

Before the first cycle, set the appliance to dry for five minutes to warm up the drum. Open the door between loads the first few times you use the appliance to allow any odours from the interior of the appliance to disperse.

Ensure the lint filter and water container are

clean.

• The lint filter is inside the door rim. It needs to be cleaned before each drying cycle.

• Open the door and ensure the lint filter is clean. If it is not, please clean the lint filter.

• Also check if the water container needs to be emptied for optimum drying results.

CAUTION

• Be careful not to trap laundry between the door and rubber seal.

Turn the power on.

• Press the Power button. The indicator icon above the button will become illuminated, indicating that the appliance is all set to run.

Select the drying programme you want.

• You can choose a programme by turning the programme selector knob until the required programme is indicated.

• If you press the Start/Pause button without choosing a programme, the appliance will proceed with the Cotton programme. Please refer to the programme table for the detailed information.

WARNING

• Do not drink the condensed water.

NOTE

• In some instances, LED window may display (Empty water symbol) and the appliance

may stop because the water container is full.

Place laundry into the drum after sorting.

• The clothes should be sorted by fabric type and dryness level and all the strings and belts of clothes should be well tied and fixed before being put into the drum. Push the laundry to the back to keep it away from the door seal. Otherwise, the door seal and clothes may be damaged. Close the door.

Press the Start/Pause button.

CAUTION

• Be careful! The drum inside may still be hot.

• The appliance must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was designed.

NOTE

• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that laundry is left at a temperature that ensures the laundry will not be damaged.

• A high atmospheric temperature and a small room may both increase drying time as well as energy consumption.

Sorting Laundry

Clothes have their own wash care labels, so drying according to the wash care label is recommended.

Not only that, the laundry must be sorted according to size and type of fabric.

For the best drying performance and most efficient energy usage, do not overload the appliance.

Woollens

• Dry woollens on the Wool programme. Be sure to follow fabric care label symbols first. Wool may not be completely dried from the cycle, so do not repeat drying. Pull woollens to their original shape and dry them flat.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, depending on quality.

Non-Iron and Synthetics

• Do not overload the appliance. Take out non-Iron items as soon as the appliance stops to reduce creases.

Rubber and Plastics

• Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics such as:

− Aprons, Bibs and Chair Covers

− Curtains and Table Clothes

− Bathmats
