• A power source with reliable grounding must be used. Its earth wire must be buried under the ground and should not be connected with public utilities such as city water pipes or gas pipes etc. The earth wire and null wire should be distinguished and should not be connected together.
• Obey the maximum load volume (refer to the “Program chart” chapter).
• That the tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber-backed articles, and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
• The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
• The lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

Installation
Installation Position

1. It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.
2. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Air must be able to circulate freely all around the appliance. Do not obstruct the front air inlet or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
3. To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm and level surface.
4. The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile carpets, strips of wood, or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Level Adjusting
Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, adjust the feet with a tool.
Power Supply Connection

1. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply is the same as the electric specification of the dryer.
