Step1: Power source and grounding

The dryer employs alternative current with the rated voltage and frequency. A special power socket for the dryer should be set aside for safety and convenience. The socket's method of connection is as the figure below:

The socket and grounding wire must be installed by an electrician to prevent incorrect installation and to guarantee the safety and correct use of the appliance. The power wire of the dryer employs a Y connection. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid any hazard. There should be no connection between the grounding wire and the neutral wire, otherwise the cabinet will be charged which may likely cause electric shock.

Operation

Operation

Operation

1. Prepare clothes for Drying

• Wash clothes and wring out excess water before putting it in the Dryer
• Sort out clothes from heavy to light and place in Dryer in different loads. (Heavier clothes take longer to dry and light-weight, shorter.)

- Make sure buttons and the like are safe in high temperature, otherwise it may damage the Dryer's inner tube. Make sure the clothes are protected from damage as well.

• It is advisable to turn clothes inside out.
• Check clothes after washing. If there is dirt on clothes, the drying process cannot be relied on to remove said dirt.
• Ensure that the power plug is properly connected and the supply cord is in good condition.

2. Check filter

· Make sure the filter is well cleaned and in the right position.
- Filter must be cleaned regularly.

3. Place clothes in the Dryer

• For faster results, it is better to fill the Dryer only by a half or two-thirds capacity. Note that clothes need space to circulate evenly.
• When drying big clothes, it is better to include several small items to help balance the load.
• When drying delicate or small clothes (less than 1.5 kg), it is better to add several towels with fibers that do not fray. This will help dry the clothes more evenly.
• To avoid creases on clothes (or static electricity), do not over dry.
