GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet with a 3-prong ground receptacle. To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug and/or outlet can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a

qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, or either:

• If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

• If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

WARNING: DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

10. DO NOT cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11. DO NOT put your hand in the spin basket during operation. The spin basket is rotating at a high speed and the rotating parts may cause injury to your hand.

12. DO NOT immerse the power cord or plug in water.

13. Keep the cord away from all heated surfaces.

14. DO NOT store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

15. When cleaning the surfaces of the door and the frame, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. NEVER clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

16. This dryer is for indoor use only. DO NOT use outdoors.

17. DO NOT place the appliance or cord near heat sources such as radiators, heaters, air ducts, or direct sunlight.

18. DO NOT run the cord under floor coverings. Arrange the cord away from high traffic areas so it will not be a trip hazard.

19. To disconnect the appliance, turn the appliance off, switch off the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet.

20. After turning off the power supply to the dryer, wait at least 2 minutes before turning it on again.

21. DO NOT carry the appliance by the cord or pull to disconnect it from the outlet. To disconnect, grasp the plug and pull.

22. DO NOT excessively bend, stretch, twist, or bind the power cord or place heavy objects on it.

23. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this product.

24. DO NOT install in a tight fitting cabinet.

25. DO NOT overload the dryer.

26. The door window may be hot after a long drying cycle. Ensure children are kept away from the machine.

27. If the dryer is not wall mounted, place in a flat, firm, dry place. DO NOT place it on any soft material such as foam or plastic.

28. DO NOT use flammable or combustible materials such as gas, petrol, alcohol or lacquer in the dryer.

29. DO NOT use if the power supply cord is damaged.

30. Items will oil on them can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as this dryer. Piling, stacking, or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and create a fire hazard.

31. If it is unavoidable that fabrics with vegetable oil, cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waves, wax removers or hair care products be placed in the dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate the fire hazard.

32. If the dryer is stopped before the end of the drying cycle, the items inside will be hot.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

1. Examine the dryer after unpacking. Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT install, and notify your dealer immediately.

2. Check to ensure that you have the wall-mounting kit and four (4) legs.

3. Install the dryer on a flat, level surface. If you are going to wall mount your dryer, use the included wallmounting kit.

4. Install the dryer away from direct sunlight; direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, plastic and electrical components. The room temperature should not fall below 32°F.

5. Check the ventilation. DO NOT block the air vents, especially when the dryer is installed on a carpeted floor. If the air vents are blocked during operation, the dryer may overheat and eventually fail. For proper ventilation, allow at least 5 inches of space between the dryer top, sides, rear, and adjacent surfaces.

6. Install the dryer away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the dryer away from heat, steam, or splashing liquids. NEVER splash water onto the control panel. These things can adversely affect the wiring and electrical conduction contacts of the dryer.

7. Check the power supply. a) Check your local power source. The dryer requires a current of approximately 12 Amperes, 110 Volts,

and a 60 Hz grounded outlet.

b) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord. Ensure that the dryer does not stand on its power cord.

c) Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at the very least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord must be a grounding type, 3-wire cord.

• A longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the appliance where it can be

pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

d) Plug the dryer into a properly installed receptacle box that is fully grounded. DO NOT under any

circumstances modify, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.

INSTALLING THE LEGS

The dryer is shipped with a bag containing the user guide and four (4) legs. It is recommended to screw the legs all the way in. See the illustration to the right to install the legs.

and adequate spacing for exhaust. If mounting above a top load washing machine, allow sufficient spacing to open the lid of the washer. In the case of a front loading washer, allow sufficient breathing space.

Although the supplied mounting hooks can be installed directly to the wall using the existing wooden studs, the preferred method of installation is using wooden slats that provide a flat, level installation surface and added stability

to the whole wall installation.

Use two wooden slats (not included) between the studs to mount the hooks. Recommended wooden slat size is 23.0" (L) x 3.0" (H) x 1.0" (D).

When using the wooden slats to install on drywall material, you must use expanding

wall anchor bolts to safely secure the slats to the drywall.

Use four (4) expanding wall anchor bolts per each wooden slat.
