• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• In EN-standard countries, this appliance can be used by children from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• 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.
  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.

• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

• The appliance should not be installed behind a lockable door a sliding door or a door with a hinge.

• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

• The appliance should not be overturned during normal use or maintenance.

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

• For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, a carpet must not obstruct the openings.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

To return your used device, please use the return and collection systems or contact the retailer where the product was purchased. They can take this product for environmental safe recycling.

• Power supply and grounding
  The dryer employs an alternating current with the rated voltage and frequency. When the voltage fluctuates between 6% of the rated voltage, the dryer can work normally.

  The socket and the grounding wire must be installed by an electrician to prevent incorrect installation or use of the socket and to guarantee the safety of the use of electricity. No connection between the grounding wire and the neutral wire is likely to cause the danger of electric shock from the appliance.

• Installation Position Selection
  The dryer should be placed in a ventilated area with not less than 10cm distance from the wall. It is suggested there are no obstacles within 1.5m in front of the dryer to keep the appliance well-ventilated. !! This appliance is not designed to be used in outbuildings, garages, or any place where the ambient temperature will drop below 5°C. Due to its use of sensors, it will run but not heat therefore clothes will not dry !!

• 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.

Note!
If the dryer can’t be placed horizontally (the lean angle is no more than 2°) this may cause the appliance to be unbalanced and stop working.
Notice when installing:

• Do not install the dryer in the open air (outside) or in a place easily damaged by rain/water.
• Do not place the back of the dryer near the curtains.
