for future reference.

REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD
SUFFOCATING.

WARNING

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

Because a condensing type has been adopted, which condenses and processes air inside the dryer,
external ventilation is not required.

Therefore, The dryer can be installed and used in any location where the temperature is between 5 and
35degrees centigrade, unlike a conventional dryer that requires an external exhaust system.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

To operate safely and properly, your new Dryer requires minimum clearances of:
Sides – 25 mm Rear – 51 mm

Top – 25 mm Front – 510 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have at

least 510 mm unobstructed air opening.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Requirements is AC 220-240 V 50 Hz.

• Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

WARNING

Check with a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fi t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

• To prevent unnecessary risk of fi re, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding

must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, It is your
responsibility to provide adequate electrical services for your dryer.

GROUNDING

Your dryer must be grounded. If your dryer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

Your dryer comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and
grounded outlet.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock.
Check with a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the dryer is properly grounded. Do

not modify the plug provided with the dryer. If it does not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualifi ed electrician.

INSTALLING YOUR DRYER

If the product is not grounded, there is a danger of fi re or electric shock.

installing your dryer

INSTALLATION SIDE BY SIDE

For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a professional. To install:

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider

installing the dryer and washer side-by-side. Lay two of the carton
cushion-tops on the fl oor. Tip your dryer on its side so it will lay across
both cushion-tops.

2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.

3. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must

be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,the
fl oor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the
levelling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the legs
by turning them clockwise

Retract fully Then loosen

Adjust the levelling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the levelling feet more
than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

4. Review Electrical Requirements section (See page 13). BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING.

5. With a level, check your dryer and make necessary adjustments to the levelling legs.

6. Plug in your dryer, and check operation by using the checklist below.

Level

Levelling feet

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

 Dryer is plugged into electrical outlet and is properly grounded.
 Dryer is leveled and is sitting fi rmly on the fl oor.
 Start your dryer to confi rm that it runs, heats, and shuts o .
 Finally, check if the HE error occurs when after running the Time Dry cycle for 20 minutes.

DRAINING WATER WITHOUT USING THE WATER TANK

You can use the dryer without using the water tank by following the procedures below.

Install the drain hose so that water can be drained well.

- Otherwise, the water may overfl ow and it may cause damage to the properties.

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE

The Dryer can pump the condensed water outside of the DRYER directly
with drain hose provided.

The procedures to connect the drain hose are as follows.

Connecting the drain hose

Do not extend the drain hose.

- Since water may leak from the connected part, be sure to one long drain hose instead of

CAUTION

connecting short ones. If you cannot help connecting more than one hose, be sure to seal
the connected parts with silicone sealant. (Do not use the electric insulating tape for sealing.)

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

1. Over the edge of a wash basin: The drain hose must be placed lower than 90 cm. If the end

of the drain hose needs to be placed above the ground, we recommend a height of 60 cm
~ 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure
the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose
from moving.

2. Assemble the drain hose and the hose guide and fi x them with the cable-tie.

3. You can drain the condensed water by connecting the accessory hose (long drain hose) to

the drain-outlet directly.

Connecting the direct-hose

You can immediately drain the condensed water that comes out while drying, by connecting the
drain hose to the tap.

LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY

• Place only one wash load in your dryer at a time.

• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry di erently, which may result in lightweight fabrics

being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.

• Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles of clothing need drying.

This improves the tumbling action and drying e ciency.

• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some

fabrics.

• Make sure to insert laundry that has been spun by an appropriate washing machine.

• No unwashed textiles should be dried

• Textiles which have been in contact with oil, alcohol, petrol etc. should not be dried.

GETTING STARTED

1. Load your dryer loosely – DO NOT overload.

2. Close the door.

3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load.

4. Press the Start/Pause

• Dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.

Doesn’t dry. • Check all of the above, plus...

• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.

• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require

repositioning to ensure even drying.

• Check that the dryer is draining properly to extract adequate water

from the load.

• Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.

• Clean the fi lter case.

• Clean the Heat Exchanger Filter.

Is noisy. • Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc.

Remove promptly.

• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation

instruction.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving

through the dryer drum and fan.

Dries unevenly. • Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be

completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected
dryness level. This is normal. Select the EXTRA DRY
desired.

• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel

with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely
dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.

Has an odour. • Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc.

may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as
the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the
tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
