Setup

  2. Placement: Place the dryer on a flat, stable, and dry surface. Ensure the suction cup feet are firmly attached to the surface for maximum stability.

  4. Attach Drain Pipe: Connect the telescopic drain pipe to the designated outlet on the dryer. Ensure it is securely attached to prevent leaks. Position the other end of the drain pipe into a sink or bucket for water collection.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively dry your clothes:

  1. Load Clothes: Open the transparent top cover. Place wet, washed clothes into the detachable spin basket. Do not overload the basket; ensure clothes are evenly distributed to maintain balance during spinning. The dryer can accommodate small clothes, underwear, socks, and towels.
  2. Close Cover: Securely close the transparent top cover.
  3. Prepare for Spin: Pull out the two pull handles from their resting positions at the base of the unit.
  4. Spin Operation:

    Hold one handle in each hand. Pull the handles upwards and then push them downwards in a continuous, rhythmic motion. This action will cause the inner basket to spin rapidly. The dryer can reach speeds of up to 2500 RPM.

    Spin Duration: The time required for drying depends on the material and initial wetness.

    • For small fleece blankets: Approximately 10 seconds.
    • For bath towels and similar materials: Approximately 30-45 seconds.

  5. Drain Water: As the clothes spin, water will be extracted and collected at the bottom of the unit. Ensure the drain pipe is positioned to direct this water away.
  6. Remove Clothes: Once spinning is complete and the basket has stopped, open the top cover and carefully remove the clothes.

The high spin speed efficiently removes excess water, significantly reducing drying time compared to air drying. The detachable wash basket helps prevent secondary contamination of clothes.

  • Cleaning the Main Unit: Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
