Preparing Loads

Checking Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care. Below are some of the symbols that are relevant to choosing appropriate items for the appliance.

Symbols on Care Labels

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 Fur/Leather Care 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.

1. Open the front grille a and take out the lint filter b.
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.
3. Reinstall the filter.

Checking the Aroma Filter
Use a dryer fabric softener sheet to add a refreshing aroma to items. Replace the fabric softener sheet after every use.

1. Remove the aroma filter from the appliance.
2. Open the aroma filter and insert a dryer fabric softener sheet a into it.
3. 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.
4. When the cycle is complete, remove the aroma filter and discard the fabric softener sheet.
5. 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.

1. Pull the handle of the tank forward and remove the tanks from the appliance. Check the water level of the tanks.
2. 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 water in the fully filled water supply 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.
3. Make sure the water drain tank is empty.
4. 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.

The Moving Hanger
Hang clothes on the moving hanger using the hangers provided with the appliance, or use any plastic or metal hanger that hooks snugly into the indentations in the moving hanger.

• Use the moving hanger for suits, coats, jackets, blouses, dresses, skirts, and pants that don’t require a crease. Use the Pants Crease Care to crease pants.
• Anything that can be securely placed on a hanger and steamed or dried without retaining hanger marks or other damage can be placed on the moving hanger.
• Style sweaters or knits on the shelf to avoid hanger marks.
• Arrange clothing so it does not touch the sides or rear of the cabinet, if possible. Condensation may form on the interior surface of the cabinet, and items in contact with the surface may remain damp at the end of the cycle.
• The moving hanger will move even when only the shelf is being used.
• When using an ordinary metal/plastic hanger, the hook should be less than 5/32 in. (4 mm) thick and the hook must fit in the indentation in the moving hanger snugly. If the fit is too loose, it may result in vibration, noise and damage to clothing.

CAUTION

• Remove empty hangers from the moving hanger and place them on the shelf before starting a cycle. Empty hangers may cause unnecessary noise, friction, and damage to fabrics.
• Do not lean or pull on the moving hanger.
• Hang hangers in the same direction on the moving hanger to prevent collisions.

Using Hangers
The hangers that come with the appliance are for use with the appliance only. Any plastic or metal hanger that has a hook less than 4 mm thick and hooks snugly into the indentations in the moving hanger can be used in the appliance.

• Do not use hangers with wool, knitwear, or delicate lingerie. The garments may stretch or be left with hanger marks.
  • Wrinkles may appear at the back of the collar on some garments.
  • Remove empty hangers or store them in the shelf during operation
  • Fasten buttons and zippers on hanging clothes to prevent them from falling off hangers during operation. Fasten the neck area with cotton string if there is no button or zipper.
• Remove or store the shelf when hanging longer items so items won’t get wrinkled.

1. Select an appropriate hanger
   • Choose the appliance hanger that fits the item you are hanging up.
2. Fasten the buttons and zippers on all garments and hang them on hangers.
   • Doing so helps keep the garments from falling or becoming more wrinkled during the cycle. If a garment has no buttons or zipper, fasten it with a cotton string around the collar area.
3. Place the hangers into the slots of the moving hanger.

The Pants Hanger
Place pants either on the moving hanger or in the Pants Crease Care, depending on whether maintaining the creases on the pants legs is desired.

• Hanging pants on the moving hanger may reduce the creases on pants legs.
• To maintain the creases on pants legs use the Pants Crease Care.
• Pants should be no wider than 441/16 in. (112 cm) or longer than 45 1/4 in. (115 cm) to fit in the Pants Crease Care. Check the size of the pants before using the Pants Crease Care. If pants are too large, use the moving hanger.
