5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Loading Laundry
Open the door and load your laundry into the drum. Do not overload the dryer; the maximum capacity is 7 kg. For best results, ensure items are untangled before loading.

5.3 Delay Start
Use the Delay Start function to postpone the start of the drying cycle. This allows you to set the dryer to run at a more convenient time, such as during off-peak electricity hours.
5.4 Drying Process and Crease Reduction
Once the program starts, the drum will rotate in both directions (reverse tumbling action) to prevent clothes from tangling and reduce creasing. This ensures even drying and less ironing post-cycle.

5.5 End of Cycle

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your tumble dryer.
6.1 Cleaning the Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle. Pull out the filter, remove accumulated lint, and rinse if necessary. A clogged filter can reduce drying efficiency and pose a fire hazard.
6.2 Emptying the Water Tank
Empty the water condenser tank after each cycle. The tank collects condensed water from the drying process. A full tank will prevent the dryer from operating.
6.3 Cleaning the Condenser
The condenser should be cleaned periodically, typically every few months, depending on usage. Refer to the detailed instructions in your included manual for specific steps on how to access and clean the condenser unit.
6.4 Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
