Dry Care Symbols

Please pay attention to use the drying machine if the materials of your clothes can not be dried by it or contain the symbols as follows:

Safety Notes

1. This product belongs to the Category of electrical appliances and is only for drying textiles that have been washed with water in the household. Please pay attention to the safety of power use during the operation!

2. A power source with reliable earthing must be used. Its earth wire must be buried under the ground and shall not be connected with the public utilities such as city water pipe or gas pipe etc. The earth wire and null wire shall be distinguished and shall not be connected together.

3. The power wire shall be met IEC standards and must be able to withstand the current above 10A. To ensure your and your family’s safety, please make improvements immediately if any power use at your home does not comply with the above-mentioned requirements.

4. The maximum mass of dry textile material is 7 kilograms to be used in the appliance.

5. The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

6. Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

10. 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.

11. The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.

12. The lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

13. Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

14. 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.

15. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from an appliance burning gas or other fuels.

16. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door, or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer. In such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.

17.  Keep pets away from this appliance.

18. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in 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.

19. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

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

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

22. 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.

23. This appliance is for indoor use only.

24. The openings must not be obstructed by a carpet.

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

26. If the appliance appears high temperature abnormally, please draw the mail plug immediately.

27. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
    should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
