Fabric Care Labels
Below are fabric care label “symbols” that affect the clothing you will be laundering.
Dry Labels
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Try also to
sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.
Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce®
Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in this dryer when used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
• No washer can completely remove oil.
• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had any type of oil
on it (including cooking oils).
• Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline.
• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
DRAINING WATER WITHOUT USING
THE WATER TANK
You can use the dryer without using the water tank by
following the procedures below.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
The dryer can pump the condensed water outside of
the DRYER directly with drain hose provide.
The procedures to connect the drain hose are as
follows.
1. Disconnect the drain hose A.
2. Connect the drain hose A to
the other hole.
3. Connect accessory hose B
(long drain hose) adjacent to
hose A.
When connecting hose B, take care that the height of
the hose does not exceed 47” (120 cm).
After connecting the drain hose, you can now
directly drain the condensed water to a standpipe or
washstand.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
(CONT.)
4. Over the edge of a wash basin: The drain hose must
be placed lower than 47” (120 cm) and higher than
30” (76 cm). To keep the drain hose spout bent, use
the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the guide
to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of
string to prevent the drain hose from moving.
5. Assemble the drain hose and the hose guide and fix
them with the cable-tie.
Do not push the drain hose in the standpipe any further
than 4” (10 cm). Pushing the drain hose further in the
standpipe can cause leaking.
