future reference. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner.
Do not attempt to repair this product yourself. If the product or its power supply
experiences any malfunction or damage, cease use immediately and contact
Kogan.com for support.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
Ensure children are supervised so that they do not play with the appliance.
Ensure the lint filter is cleaned after every cycle and whenever prompted by the
dryer.
The lint filter and air intake filter should be washed frequently.
WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching
device, such as a timer or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and
off by a utility.
Do not place naked flame sources, such as candles, on the appliance.
Do not block any of the ventilation openings or allow them to be blocked by
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Do not install inside a narrow cabinet.
Ensure there is adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Do not attempt to dry clothes which have been soiled with flammable liquids inside
the dryer without washing them thoroughly by hand beforehand. Do not allow
flammable or combustible materials such as gas, petrol, alcohol or lacquer in the

If clothes which are dirtied in this way need to be dried, the hazard can be
mitigated but not eliminated by washing first in hot water with extra detergent.
Do not overload the dryer.
Keep the drum clear of foreign objects and always remove items from clothing.
The door window may become hot after a long drying cycle: keep children away.
SAFETY & WARNINGS
Install on a stable, solid surface.
The final phase of the tumble dry cycle does not use heat (cool down cycle): this is
to ensure items are not left at a high temperature and able to be damaged due to
this.
Wait at least 2 minutes after turning off the power supply before turning it on again.
Ensure all packaging is removed from the dryer before first use.
Follow instructions for use provided with any fabric softener.
Do not dry items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof

Electrical safety and cord handling
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when using an
electrical appliance, including the following:
Voltage: Ensure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage
indicated on the appliance’s rating label and your outlet socket is properly earthed.
If this is not the case, do not use the dryer.
Separate circuit: We strongly recommend you connect the appliance to a
separate circuit serving only this appliance. This provides the best performance and
prevents overloading the house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from
overheating.
Electrical hazard: Do not insert any objects into the appliance.
No extension cord: Do not use this appliance with a power adaptor or extension
cord.
WARNING: If such a device must be used, the cord or outlet must be
positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or liquid ingress.
Protect the power cord. Do not kink or damage the power cord. Position the cord
out of the way so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. Do
not run the cord under floor coverings. Position the cord away from high traffic
areas where it will not become a tripping hazard. Ensure the dryer does not stand
on the power cord.
Disconnect: Unplug the clothes dryer from the power supply after use, before
cleaning, servicing or moving the appliance. To disconnect, turn the appliance off,
switch off the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet. Grip the
plug when disconnecting; do not pull on the cord. After disconnection, wait at least
2 minutes before turning the appliance back on again.
RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. Consultant an electrician for professional advice.

Unsuitable Items:
The items listed below are unsuitable for tumble drying. They can cause fire in the clothes
dryer or extensive damage. Do not place the following items into the clothes dryer.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured
rubber-like materials - when heated, these materials can spontaneously combust
and cause a fire.
Items that have been spotted or soaked with cooking oil or with highly flammable
substances - these substances constitute a fire hazard. Highly flammable
substances used in domestic environments include acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, some stain removers, dry-cleaning solvents, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and some hair care products. (This also includes items that have
previously been cleaned or spotted with dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances.)
Washing these items thoroughly beforehand in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent will reduce, but not necessarily eliminate the hazard. The ‘cool down
cycle of a clothes dryer should be used to reduce the temperature of the items.
They should not be removed from the clothes dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras) - these
parts can come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber coated tennis shoes.
Fabric softeners or similar products, unless they are specifically recommended by
the product manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects of static
electricity.
Caution:
Hot surface! Do not touch the air intake during a drying cycle: it will
be hot.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of
gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including
open fires.
This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. If it suffers any failure or damage, cease
immediately and contact Kogan.com for support after consulting the Troubleshooting
section of this user guide.

User Guide
Location
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to
your washing machine.
Do not install the appliance upside down. Doing so will cause operational issues
with the appliance.
During operation, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, moist air
that should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent
condensation. In an extremely well-ventilated room, this may occur naturally.
However, in general, it is recommended to vent the dryer's exhaust outside via the
supplied vent hose.
The vent should be installed ending either temporarily at an open window or
permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.
Ensure there are no obstructing items or material (paper, rags etc.) near the air-
intake louvres.
To k e e p vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be
placed on a firm, level surface.
Important: The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.
The appliance must there not be installed in floors which are not resistant to high
temperatures.
INSTALLATION
Note:
If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet. Do not place any wooden pieces or
other objects under the feet to try level the dryer.
Level adjustment
When pushing down on the edges of the dryer’s top plate, the machine should not move at
all. If the machine rocks, adjust the feet.
Loosen the locknuts.
Rotate the adjustable feet clockwise to lower the dyer.
Rotate the feet counter-clockwise to raise the dryer.
Tighten the locknuts after ensuring the dryer is level.
The feet must never be removed. Do not place the dryer on deep pile carpets, strips of wood
or similar. This might cause heat build-up and interfere with the operation of the appliance.
Note:
The locknuts must be tightened after adjustment. Any looseness can cause
vibration and noise.
Installing the vent hose
To a c c o m m o d a t e f o r d i f f e r e n t d r y e r i n s t a l l a t i o n s , t he supplied vent hose can be installed into
one of two different vent outlets. One is located on the rear of the dryer, the other is on the
left-hand side.
Connect the vent hose to the outlet by removing the ring nut (A).
Align the arrows on the hose and outlet and secure the hose in place by rotating in
a clockwise direction while pushing in firmly.
The unused vent will need to be sealed using the supplied snap cover (B).
Tips:
If the hose is long and the room temperature is low, the moisture might condense inside the
hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from collecting in
the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a 3mm hole in the
lowest point of the hose (B) and placing a small container below it.
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to
the desired outlet point, ensuring it contains no
more than two bends. If the hose is to be
permanently attached to a wall/window grille,
please consult your local hardware store to obtain
the necessary fittings and installation advice.
Never attach the vent hose to a range hood or a
chimney designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel
burning appliance.
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it
is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Ensure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying
efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy
consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs on the dryer may cause the
dryer to turn off.
Before First Use
Ensure that electrical connection complies with the specifications found on the
dryer’s rating plate.
Remove all the packaging material from the drum
Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend that you place a
few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 30 minutes. There may be dust
inside a brand-new tumble dryer.
Daily Use
Open the door.
Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time, shaking them out as much as
possible.
Close the door ensuring that nothing is caught between the door and filter.
OPERATION
Note:
Ensure the lint filter is cleaned after every cycle and whenever prompted by the
dryer.
Selecting a Program

flash. The program will automatically be switched off if there is no user input for 10 minutes.
The program selector dial is divided into four sections: cottons, synthetics, time and special.
Note: is for the “standard cotton program”. T h e program is suitable to dry normal wet
cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of energy consumption for drying
wet cotton laundry.
Automatic Controlled Drying
The appliance detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjust the drying time for
optimal drying. Just select the program according to fabrics. This drying system will be
active when selecting one of the following: cottons and synthetics sections, Anti-Bacterial
and silk program.
Time Controlled Drying
These programs can be used to add additional drying time when necessary. Select the 90 or
60-minute program for cottons or the 30 programs for synthetics. To cancel a program
which is running, turn the program selector dial to “off.
At the end of drying, turn the selector dial to off” to switch the machine off before removing
the laundry.
