- Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
- WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
- WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
- The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
Electrical Safety Precautions
- This dryer requires a 220-240V AC, 10A uniphase and three-stage socket.
- Always keep combustible materials or chemicals including gasoline, kerosene or alcohol away from the dryer at all times.
- To avoid the risk of electrical shock and damage to the dryer's electrical components, never install the dryer in humid or moist rooms/areas where the dryer will be exposed to rain or excessive humidity.
- The power plug must be removed from electricity whenever the dryer is moved, unused or being cleaned. Never use wet hands to connect or disconnect the power from the dryer and AC plug.
- Never use the dryer on or near foam packaging as it poses a fire hazard.
- When the inner drum or the surface of the dryer gets dirty, please use a soft wet cloth to clean it. Do not wash it directly with water or clean it with volatile liquids (such as gasoline and alcohol).
- Always clean around the dryer and remove any fiber or dust that may have accumulated.
- To avoid the possibility of fire, always ensure the dryer is operating in a well-ventilated area and that air flow is always unimpeded.
Operating Guidelines
- Never put completely wet clothes into the dryer. Use the spin-cycle of a washing machine prior to dryer use.
- Before drying, remove all objects from pockets and clothing including sharp metals or flammable substances.
- Before using the dryer, all clothing should be zipped or buttoned and the clothing turned inside out for best results.
- Do not use the dryer with clothing that has a label saying DO NOT WASH or DRY CLEAN ONLY.

- Do not use the dryer on clothing that cannot be tumble dried. It is recommended to drip-dry, hang dry, dry flat or dry in the shade.
- You should never cover the surface of the dryer when it is operating. It is normal for surface temperature to seem warm to the touch, and normally reaches a temperature slightly higher than the human body.

Selection of Drying Program
Drying Program Descriptions
OFF: When the pointer is "off", the dryer will disconnect power; once it is pointed to the desired drying program, the dryer starts working.
Air Dry: Freshens the clothes with cool air.
Cool: In the last 20 minutes of the drying process, cool air is used instead of hot air to cool the clothes, making it easy for users to take out clothes.
Anti-wrinkle: For clothes that are difficult to iron, such as fabric shirts and linens. Set the drying time according to the number of clothes, usually 30 to 60 minutes. When the setting time is over and the dryer stops working, the clothes will be a little damp, making it easy for ironing.
Standard: For drying and cooling clothes, usually used for clothes that do not wrinkle easily. The drying time is usually set at 60-120 minutes.
Extra: For larger-size clothes or large loads (clothes more than half of the rated capacity of the dryer). The drying time is usually set more than 120 minutes.

Troubleshooting the Dryer
If the dryer breaks down, please disconnect the power first and then check the machine. Sometimes it is not a fault in the following cases. Please confirm again before dealing with the problems yourself. If it is a fault, please contact your place of purchase or a qualified repair center.
Problem/Error | Cause | What to do ...? |
---|---|---|
The dryer doesn't start | Whether power is off or trip. Whether the power connection is firm and reliable. Whether the drying clothes are overloaded. Whether the temperature controller is disconnected. | Use after power failure recovery. Check the power connection to make sure the connection is firm and reliable. The clothes loaded must be dehydrated and the drying weight (the weight of wet clothes) should not exceed 3.0 kg. Please ask our authorized service centre to replace the temperature controller. |
Outside of dryer is excessively hot or electrical odor present | The filter is blocked by the lint and threads. Air outlet or exhaust duct is blocked. | Clean the filter before and after each use. Clear the blockages. |
Clothes do not dry | Too much clothes in the dryer. The filter is blocked, affecting the air intake and outlet. The machine is installed in a narrow and unventilated area. | Dry the clothes several times. Clean air intake filter and air outlet filter regularly. Shake the clothes out and dry them again. Rearrange the machine. |
Clothes have too many wrinkles | The dryer is too full. Did not take out clothes in time after drying. Clothing is not properly classified. The temperature is set too high. | Do not put too much clothes at a time. Take out the clothes immediately after drying. Dry the clothes after sorting. Follow the maintenance label on the clothes. |
Clothes shrink | Too dry. | Follow the maintenance label instructions on the clothes. If the clothes shrink easily, always check them when drying them. Take it out when it's still damp to avoid over drying and hang or lay it flat to dry. |
Clothes have fluffs | It is normal for synthetic fibers and no-ironing fibers to have fluffs, which are caused by normal friction. | Soften the fiber with fabric softener. When ironing clothes, spray some sizing adhesive on the collar and cuffs, or turn the inside clothes out to reduce friction. |
Dryer will not re-start after using the dryer for a long time. | The dryer's thermal protection will guard itself from overheating. | Allow approximately 30 minutes for the dryer's temperature to return to normal. |
