Introduction

Thank you for choosing this AKAI product. This user manual contains important safety information and instructions for the operation and maintenance of your appliance. Before using the appliance, please read this user manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

Safety Information

This appliance can only be used by adults instructed in its safe use and capable of understanding the associated risks. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance must be performed by adults.

Children under 3 years of age should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

This tumble dryer is designed for domestic use only. Different uses or commercial use will invalidate the warranty.

PERICOLO: Do not spray or pour water on the dryer for cleaning! This creates a risk of electric shock!

ATTENTION: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed, separated, and spread out to dissipate heat.

ATTENTION: Ensure that pets do not enter the dryer. Check the inside of the dryer before use.

ATTENTION: If the program is cancelled or power is interrupted during operation, the laundry inside the dryer may overheat. This concentration of heat can cause spontaneous combustion, so always activate the cooling program to cool the laundry or remove it quickly to hang and dissipate heat.

ATTENTION: Never use the dryer without a lint filter or with a damaged lint filter.

ATTENTION: Do not place a washing machine on top of a tumble dryer. When installing the dryer on a washing machine, pay attention to the following warnings.

ATTENTION: The dryer can only be placed on washing machines with a capacity of 8 kg or more.

ATTENTION: Risk of fire and electric shock.

ATTENTION: The dryer is designed for 220-240 V and 50 Hz power supply.

ATTENTION: Do not connect the appliance to the mains power supply using extension cords, multiple sockets, or adapters.

ATTENTION: Never use detergents or cleaning agents containing industrial chemicals to clean the dryer.

ATTENTION: Do not use the dryer if it has been cleaned with industrial chemical products.

ATTENTION: Risk of fire and explosion, do not use solutions with chemical agents, detergents, or similar products during sensor cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Do not forget to clean the lint filter after every drying cycle.

IMPORTANT: Do not forget to empty the water tank after every use.

IMPORTANT: Clean the condenser when the condenser cleaning warning appears.

IMPORTANT: EVEN IF THE CONDENSER CLEANING WARNING LED IS NOT LIT, CLEAN THE CONDENSER AFTER EVERY 30 DRYING CYCLES OR ONCE A MONTH.

IMPORTANT: NEVER REMOVE THE WATER TANK WHILE THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING. CONDENSED WATER IN THE WATER TANK IS NOT POTABLE AND NOT SUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. DO NOT DRINK OR REUSE.

IMPORTANT: CLEAN THE METAL SURFACES OF THE SENSOR FOUR TIMES A YEAR.

IMPORTANT: Do not use metal tools to clean the sensor's metal surfaces.

IMPORTANT: Do not load more laundry than indicated in the table. Overloading will reduce the drying performance of the dryer and may damage the appliance and the laundry.

IMPORTANT: When the laundry is washed, the spin speed should be as high as possible. This shortens drying times and reduces energy consumption.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that similar types of laundry are dried together.

IMPORTANT: For air circulation, leave adequate space on the front and rear sides of the dryer. Do not cover the front grilles of the appliance.

IMPORTANT: If not necessary, do not open the appliance door during drying. If you need to open it, do not leave it open for too long.

IMPORTANT: Do not add new laundry (wet) during the drying process.

IMPORTANT: Hair, fur, and lint that come off the laundry are collected by the lint filters. Ensure the filters are clean before and after each use.

IMPORTANT: For models with a condenser, ensure the condenser is cleaned at least once a month or after every 30 uses.

IMPORTANT: During the drying process, the environment where the dryer is installed must be well ventilated.

Preparation of Laundry

Sorting Laundry for Drying

Follow the instructions on the laundry care labels. Only dry garments with the wording/symbol indicating they can be dried in a tumble dryer.

Do not use the product with load quantities and types of laundry different from those indicated in section 4.3. Load Capacity.

Symbols for drying:

Suitable for tumble drying	No ironing needed	Delicate / Gentle drying	Not suitable for tumble drying
Do not dry	Do not dry clean	At any temperature	At high temperatures
At medium temperatures	At low temperatures	On cold	Hang to dry
Dry flat	Hang to dry when wet	Dry in the shade	Suitable for dry cleaning

Do not dry thin, multi-layered, or thick-layered fabrics together, as they dry at different rates. Dry only garments with the same structure and fabric type together for a uniform drying result. If the laundry still feels damp, select a timed program for additional drying.

Preparing Laundry for Drying

Risk of explosion and fire!

Remove all objects from pockets, such as lighters and matches.

ATTENTION: The dryer drum and fabrics may be damaged.

Separate garments that may have become entangled during washing.
Remove all objects from clothing pockets. Tie fabric straps, apron ties, etc., or use a laundry bag.
Lock zippers, fasteners, and close buttons on linings.
For best drying results, sort laundry by fabric type and drying program.
Remove clips and similar metal parts from clothes.
Knitted items, such as those made of knitwear, generally shrink during the first drying. Use a protection program.
Do not over-dry synthetic materials, as this will cause creases.
When washing laundry to be dried, adjust the amount of fabric softener according to the washing machine manufacturer's data.
