Condensed Water Drain-out

Normally, condensed water is pumped up to the 

water container where water is collected until 

manually emptied. Water can also be drained 

out directly to a mains drain, especially when the 

dryer is stacked on top of a washing machine. 

With a connecting kit for the mains drain hose, 

simply change the water path and re-route to the 

drainage facility as below:

1

Take the connecting kit out.

2

Separate the water container hose from the 

kit.

3

Connect the drain hose to the kit.

Leveling the appliance

Leveling the appliance prevents unnecessary 

noise and vibration. Place the appliance on a 

solid, level floor.
If the appliance is not properly level, adjust the 

front leveling feet as necessary.
Turn them clockwise to raise and counter-

clockwise to lower until the appliance no longer 

wobbles, both front-to-back and side-to-side and 

corner-to-corner.

Diagonal Check

diagonally, the appliance should not move up 

and down at all (Check both directions). If the 

appliance rocks when pushing the top plate 

diagonally, adjust the feet again.

OPERATION

EN

Using the Appliance

Before the first cycle, set the appliance to dry 

for five minutes to warm up the drum. Open 

the door between loads the first few times you 

use the appliance to allow any odours from the 

interior of the appliance to disperse.

1

Ensure the lint filter and water container are 

clean.

 

The lint filter is inside the door rim. It needs 

to be cleaned before each drying cycle.

 

Open the door and ensure the lint filter is 

clean. If it is not, please clean the lint filter.

 

Also check if the water container needs to 

be emptied for optimum drying results.

WARNING

 

Do not drink the condensed water.

NOTE

 

In some instances, LED window may 

display 

 (Empty water symbol) and the 

appliance may stop because the water 

container is full.

2

Place laundry into the drum after sorting.

 

The clothes should be sorted by fabric type 

and dryness level and all the strings and 

belts of clothes should be well tied and fixed 

before being put into the drum. Push the 

laundry to the back to keep it away from 

the door seal. Otherwise, the door seal and 

clothes may be damaged. Close the door.

CAUTION

 

Be careful not to trap laundry between the 

door and rubber seal.

3

Turn the power on.

 

Press the 

Power

 button. The indicator icon 

above the button will become illuminated, 

indicating that the appliance is all set to run.

the programme selector knob until the 

required programme is indicated.

choosing a programme, the appliance 

will proceed with the Cotton programme.
