+ Some fabrics marked with a "do not wash" label, such as fur and leather, can be used with the appliance.
Sorting Items
- For best fabric care results, always treat fabrics with similar care requirements together.
- Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics cannot be treated using certain cycles or should be treated separately.
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.
- Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the appliance and your clothes.
- Do not put items that are sensitive to heat or are not suitable for washing with water in Styler cycles that use steam. Use the Gentle Dry cycle only.
- Fur and leather (only 100% real leather) should only be treated with the Air Fresh cycle. This cycle is a downloadable cycle.
- Wash heavily soiled or stained clothes before putting them in the appliance. The appliance does not have a washing function. Loose soil or stains can be transferred between garments during cycles.
- Treat items with an unpleasant odor in a separate load. Odors can be transferred between items during cycles.
- Clothing should be securely fastened, with zippers and buttons closed, so that it does not fall off the moving hanger during the cycle.
- Do not put very wet items in the appliance to dry. Shake off or wring out excess water before putting items in the cabinet to dry. If a large amount of water pools in the cabinet, styling performance may suffer or the appliance may be damaged.
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.
- Open the front grille 1 and take out the lint filter 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.
- 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.
- Remove the aroma filter from the appliance.
- Open the aroma filter and insert a dryer fabric softener sheet 1 into it.
- 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.
- When the cycle is complete, remove the aroma filter and discard the fabric softener sheet.
- 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.
- Pull the handle of the tank forward and remove the tanks from the appliance. Check the water level of the tanks.
- 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.
- Make sure the water drain tank is empty.
- The drain tank will be filled after about three uses. The tank fills more quickly during styling cycles. The appliance does not work if the drain tank is full.
- Some discoloration of the water drain tank may occur over time. This is normal and will not affect product performance.
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.
- Never style clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.
