OPERATION

† 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

Air Fresh

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.

Open the front grille

and take out the lint

filter

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.
