The accumulated water must be emptied after each drying cycle or you can setup your dryer to drain automatically using the drain hose provided.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS If you connect the drain hose onto your dryer, the other end must be secured in a drain to prevent water draining onto the floor.

DRYING CYCLES Your dryer has a number of dry cycles, selecting the most appropriate cycle for each load will help ensure you get the best drying result. All dry cycles default to a recommended drying temperature and dryness level based on the average expected load to be dried.
DRY PREPARATION Sorting Sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels, and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of your clothing and linen.
DRY PREPARATION Before you load z z z z Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes. Clothing with screen-printing should be turned inside out to prevent damage to the print.
DRY PREPARATION Drying rack There are many items that would benefit from being dried on a drying rack. For example items such as sport shoes, soft toys, hats and woollen items that may be damaged if they are tumbled. 1 The drying rack is installed in your dryer when it leaves the factory. When you are using the drying rack you must select the RACK DRY or WOOL cycle. 2 If the rack is not properly installed or if a garment has fallen from it, a user prompt will appear on the digital display screen.
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY Check the lint and condenser filters are clean and replaced correctly before every load. Ensure the water tank is empty or drain hose secure before using your dryer.

To empty the water tank: 1 Remove the water tank by holding onto the handle and pulling outwards gently.
CARING FOR YOUR DRYER Cleaning the sensors There are sensors in your dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not. These sensors need to be cleaned periodically (we recommend approximately four times a year). To clean the sensor: 1 Open the door of your dryer. Allow the dryer to cool if drying has been carried out. 2 Locate the metal sensors just behind the lint filter. 3 Wipe the sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar and dry with a clean dry soft cloth.
