Connection to Water Outlet (with optional drain hose)

In products with a condenser unit, water accumulates in the water tank during the drying process. You must empty the accumulated water after each drying process. Instead of periodically emptying the water tank, you can also use the water drain hose provided with the product to directly drain the water outside.

Connecting the Water Discharge Hose

1. Pull and take out the end of the hose at the back of the dryer. Do not use any tools to take out the hose.
2. Fit one end of the water discharge hose, which is provided with the product, to the slot from which you have removed the hose.
3. Fix the other end of the water discharge hose directly to the water outlet or sink
   

ATTENTION: The hose must be connected in a manner that it cannot be displaced. If the hose comes out during water discharge, there might be flooding in your house.

IMPORTANT: The water discharge house must be installed at a height of 80 cm maximum.

IMPORTANT: The water discharge hose must not be bent between the outlet and the product, folded or stepped over.

Adjusting the Feet

For the dryer to work with less noise and vibration, it must be stable and balanced on its feet. Adjust the feed to ensure that the product is balanced.

DESCRIBING THE ENERGY LABEL AND SAVING ENERGY

Energy Labelling

Energy Efficiency

• You should operate the dryer to full capacity, but make sure that it is not overloaded.
• When the laundry is being washed, the spin speed should be at the highest level possible. This will shorten the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
• Make sure that the same kinds of laundry are dried together.
• Please follow the recommendations in the user manual for programme selection.
• For air circulation, leave an appropriate clearance on the front and back sides of the Dryer. Do not cover the grills on the front side of the machine.
• Unless necessary, do not open the door of the machine when drying. If you have to open it, do not keep it open for a long time.
• Do not add new (wet) laundry during the drying process.
• Hairs and lint that detach from the laundry and merge in the air are collected by the “Lint Filters”. Please make sure that the filters are cleaned before and after each use.
• For models with a condenser, make sure that the condenser is cleaned at least once a month or after each 30 uses.
• During the drying process, the environment where the dryer is installed must be well ventilated.
