OPERATION

Operation Overview

Using the Appliance

  1. Prepare items.
    • Wash clothes first, if needed.
    • Exclude heat-sensitive items or items that can be damaged by exposure to water.
    • Place items on hangers or the shelf.
    • Fasten buttons and close zippers to keep items on moving hangers and prevent damage.
  2. Clean the lint filter and change the sheet in the aroma filter.
    • Lift out filter and remove lint from last load for faster and more efficient performance.
    • Reinstall filter, checking alignment when closing grille. Do not operate the appliance without the lint filter in place. If using a fabric softener sheet in the aroma filter, change it after every use.
  3. Check the water tanks.
    • Fill water supply tank if needed. Empty water drain tank if needed. Use clean tap water in the supply tank for better product performance and lifespan. Do not use distilled water or reuse water from the drain tank.
  4. Load the appliance.
    • Pay attention to fabric care labels and cycle choice. If clothing is not appropriate for the cycle selected, it may shrink or be seriously damaged.
    • Remove all empty hangers to avoid noise, friction, and damage to clothing.
  5. Turn on the appliance.
    • Touch Power button to turn on the appliance.
  6. Choose a desired cycle.
    • Touch a cycle selector button. Press the button repeatedly to toggle through the selections.
  7. Begin a cycle.
    • Touch and hold the Start/Pause button to begin a cycle. Pause a cycle at any time by touching Start/Pause again. If you do not press the Start/Pause button to resume a cycle within a certain time, the appliance turns off automatically and all cycle settings are lost.
    • Do not open the door during a cycle. If steam or hot air escapes, condensation may collect on the floor or walls, resulting in damage or mold.

    CAUTION

    Do not open the door during operation. There is a risk of burns or injury from escaping hot air or steam.

    • Do not allow steam or hot air to escape the cabinet during operation. Opening the door during operation affects performance, lengthens styling time, and results in water condensing and collecting on the floor.
  8. End of cycle.
    • Remove items when the cycle finishes.
    • Leave the door open to let hot air escape.
    • The interior light shuts off after 1.5 minutes if the door is left open.

Sorting Items

Checking Items before Loading

Some items are not appropriate for use with the appliance. Using the wrong cycle for items can result in damage to fabrics.

Checking Items before Every Load

Checking the Lint Filter

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase styling times.

  1. Open the front grille 1 and take out the lint filter 2.
  2. Brush the lint filter with a soft brush or clean it with a vacuum cleaner.
    • If the lint filter is torn or damaged, replace it with a new one.
  3. Reinstall the filter.

CAUTION

After cleaning the filter, be sure to install it in place. If you operate the product without a filter, the product will not work.

Checking the Aroma Sheet

Use a dryer fabric softener sheet to add a refreshing aroma to items. Replace the fabric softener sheet after every use.

  1. Remove the aroma filter from the appliance.
  2. Open the aroma filter and insert a dryer fabric softener sheet 1 into it.
  3. Close the aroma filter and insert it back in the appliance.
    • Insert the aroma filter in the direction of the arrow. You can adjust the opening of the aroma filter using the adjustment lever. The more open the aroma filter is, the richer the aroma gets.
  4. When the cycle is complete, remove the aroma filter and discard the fabric softener sheet.
  5. Reinsert the aroma filter.

NOTE

Instead of using a fabric softener sheet, you can spray perfume 4–5 times on a cotton pad and then place it in the aroma filter to use. (However, the fragrance strength can vary depending on the scent.)

Checking the Water Tanks

Check the water in the water tanks before use. The water supply tank must be filled with water before using the appliance. The appliance does not work without water. The water drain tank should be emptied before each use.

  1. Pull the handle of the tank forward and remove the tanks from the appliance. Check the water level of the tanks.
  2. Make sure the water supply tank is filled with water.
    • The full water supply tank can be used approximately four times, depending on the cycles used.
    • Use clean tap water or bottled water for best performance and longer product life. Do not use distilled water or reuse the water from the drain tank.
    • The first time the appliance is used, 2/3 of the water in the fully filled water supply tank is used. Less water is used in following cycles.

CAUTION

Only use water when filling the water supply tank. Any other substance, such as detergent or fabric softener, may damage the appliance.

Loading the Appliance

WARNING

Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Remove them from pockets to avoid fire, explosion, or death.

The Moving Hanger

Hang clothes on the moving hanger using the hangers provided with the appliance, or use any plastic or metal hanger that hooks snugly into the indentations in the moving hanger.

CAUTION

Remove empty hangers from the moving hanger and place them on the shelf before starting a cycle. Empty hangers may cause unnecessary noise, friction, and damage to fabrics.

Using the Moving Hanger

  1. Insert hangers into slots and pull down to secure the hook snugly.
    • Hooks should fit down in the slots snugly to prevent noise, vibration, or damage to items during operation.
  2. Use the diagonal slots (2, 4) for bulky items.
    • Do not use diagonal slots (2, 4) and standard slots (1, 3, 5) during the same cycle. The hangers may knock into each other and damage clothing.
  3. Place the hangers into the slots of the moving hanger.

Using Hangers

The hangers that come with the appliance are for use with the appliance only. Any plastic or metal hanger that has a hook less than 4 mm thick and hooks snugly into the indentations in the moving hanger can be used in the appliance.

  1. Select an appropriate hanger.
    • Choose the appliance hanger that fits the item you are hanging up.
  2. Fasten the buttons and zippers on all garments and hang them on hangers.
    • Doing so helps keep the garments from falling or becoming more wrinkled during the cycle. If a garment has no buttons or zipper, fasten it with a cotton string around the collar area.

The Shelf

Use the shelf when styling clothes or other items that are difficult to hang or that may be damaged by styling on a hanger.

CAUTION

Assembling the Shelf

  1. Hold the shelf so that the grey trim is toward the front.
  2. Insert the left shelf groove into the left shelf support, then lower the right shelf groove onto the right shelf support.

NOTE

The shelf cannot be assembled by sliding it into the cabinet. It will fall if not assembled properly.

  1. To disassemble, lift up the right side of the shelf, then pull out the left side of the shelf from the shelf support.

NOTE

Hang the shelf on the shelf holder when treating long clothes such as coats or dresses.

Storing Hangers

Remove unused hangers from the moving hanger and store them in the shelf during operation. This prevents noise and damage to clothing.

  1. Insert the hangers between the rails of the shelf.
  2. When styling long clothes, if the shelf is stored on the shelf holder, store the hangers outside the appliance during operation.
  3. Do not use the shelf to store heavy items.

Control Panel

The control panel responds to touch using static electricity. A light touch is enough to operate it. Use a cloth when cleaning the controls to avoid contacting and activating the buttons.
