When drying is completed, remove filament spools and store them in
air-tight containers or plastic bags with desiccants packs together.

Press the On/Off
Switch to the ‘O’ (Off) and unplug from the wall outlet.

Follow the instructions in the ‘Care and Maintenance’ section.
Feed + Dry
1
Follow steps 1, 2, 3 or 1, 2, 4 in the previous section.
2
Pass the filament through the hole in the lower cylindrical tray and feed
it into your 3D printer, it is very important to
adjust the dryer’s position
for a smooth feeding.

These recommendations are made under the following conditions.
*Ambient RH:50% *Ambient Temp:22°C *500g filament spool *Original filament
Actual drying time for a filament may vary under different conditions. If a
filament has been in storage for a long time, it is very likely it already absorbed a
lot of moisture and it takes much longer (at least double the time listed above) to
dry a moist filament. In addition to drying the filament prior to 3D printing,
drying the filament while printing is always recommended.
