- Assemble the Base: Attach the three solid aluminum alloy support legs to the main host unit. Ensure they are securely locked into place. The non-slip rubber feet should be facing downwards.
- Install Frame Poles: Insert the vertical frame poles into the designated slots on the host unit and connect them to form the internal structure.
- Attach Racks: Place the top clothes rack onto the upper part of the frame. If desired, install the intermediate pylon with hooks for smaller items. The top pylon can support up to 24 hangers.

4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective drying:
- Load Garments: Hang your clothes on hangers and place them on the internal racks. Ensure clothes are evenly distributed and do not exceed the maximum capacity of 10kg. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper air circulation.
- Close Cover: Zip up the fabric cover completely to create an enclosed drying environment. The zipper features an anti-scalding design for safety.
- Set Timer: Plug the dryer into a suitable power outlet. Turn the timer knob to select the desired drying duration, up to 180 minutes. The dryer will begin operation automatically.
- Drying Process: The dryer circulates warm air to dry your garments. For heavily loaded items or dense fabrics like jeans, longer drying times (e.g., 180 minutes) may be required.
- Completion: Once the set time elapses, the dryer will automatically shut off. Carefully open the cover and remove your dry clothes.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your dryer.
- Filter Cleaning: The dryer is equipped with a filter to protect the host unit from dust and hair. Regularly check and clean this filter to maintain efficient air intake and prevent blockages. A clean filter ensures clean air circulation and optimal drying performance.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the fabric cover and host unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the host unit in water.
- Storage: When not in use, the dryer can be easily disassembled for compact storage, saving floor space.
6. Safety Information
Your safety is paramount. Observe the following precautions:
- Electrical Safety: The dryer is CE certified and uses a VED authenticated European two-pin plug. Ensure the power outlet is compatible and properly grounded. Do not use if the power cord is damaged.
- Overheat Protection: The machine includes an internal thermostat and fuse. In case of abnormal temperature detection, the dryer will automatically shut down and cut off power to ensure your safety. Allow the unit to cool before attempting to restart.
- Water Protection: The host unit is provided with a waterproof cover to prevent water from entering the machine, ensuring safe operation. Do not operate the dryer in excessively wet environments or allow water to splash directly onto the host unit.
- Anti-Scalding Design: The zipper of the fabric cover is designed to prevent scalding. Exercise caution when opening the cover immediately after a drying cycle as hot air may escape.
- Placement: Always place the dryer on a stable, level surface. Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents during operation.
- Capacity: Do not overload the dryer beyond its 10kg capacity. Overloading can hinder performance and pose a safety risk.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the dryer during operation.
