• Fabrics come in a wide variety of weights and finishes and can have different care requirements for each variety. It is difficult to cover them adequately in this manual. Before using the Styler with any item, check the care label before proceeding. Do not put items that are not colorfast, are heatsensitive, or are not suitable for washing with water in the Refresh or Sanitary cycles. Do a water blot test on a small, inconspicuous spot (an inside seam) to determine if the fabric is colorfast. For further assistance, consult the clothing manufacturer, a dry cleaning professional, or a more detailed fabric care guide.

• Using the Styler with items that are very wet or are not colorfast may result in damage to the items and staining from fabric dyes on the interior of the cabinet. These stains will not affect the operation of the Styler. Use toothpaste to remove stains from interior of cabinet.

• The Styler does not have a washing function. Wash soiled items before use.

24 OPERATION

CHECKING THE FILTERS

BEFORE EVERY LOAD

Checking the Lint Filter

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.

1 Open the front grill and take out the lint filter.

Changing the Aroma Sheet

Use a dryer fabric softener sheet to add a refreshing aroma to items. Replace the fabric softener sheet after every use.

1 Remove the aroma filter from the Styler.

2 Open the aroma filter and insert a dryer fabric softener sheet into it.

2 Brush the filter with a soft brush or clean it with a vacuum cleaner.

If the lint filter is torn or damaged, replace it with a new filter.

3 Close the aroma filter and insert it back in the Styler.

Insert the aroma filter in the direction of the arrow. You can adjust the opening of the perfume filter using the adjustment lever.

The more open the aroma filter is, the richer the aroma gets.

3 Reinstall the filter.

CAUTION

• Check that the sides are aligned correctly when inserting the grill.

Left Right

Closed Open

4 When the cycle is complete, remove the aroma filter and discard the fabric softener sheet.

CHECKING THE WATER TANKS

Check the water in the water tanks before use.

The water supply tank must be filled with water before using the Styler. The Styler does not work without water. The water drain tank should be emptied before each use.

1 Pull the handle of each tank forward to remove the tank and check the level of water.

water supply tank water drain tank

2 Make sure the water supply tank is filled with water.

The full water supply tank can be used approximately four times, depending on the cycles used. Use clean tap water or bottled water for best performance and longer product life. Do not use distilled water or reuse the water from the drain tank.

The first time the Styler is used, 2/3 of the water in the fully filled water supply tank is used. Less water is used in following cycles.

CAUTION

• Only use water when filling the water supply tank.

Any other substance, such as detergent or fabric softener, may damage the Styler.

• Use only clean tap water or bottled water.

Foreign materials in the water may shorten the lifespan of the Styler.

• Do not use distilled water.

The water sensor may not work.

• Do not reuse the water in the drain tank to fill the water supply tank.

3 Make sure the water drain tank is empty.

The drain tank will be filled after about three uses. The tank fills more quickly during drying cycles. The Styler does not work if the drain tank is full.

• Some discoloration of the water drain tank may occur over time. This is normal and will not affect product performance.

OPERATION 25

LOADING THE STYLER

CAUTION y Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the

Styler and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire.

Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

y Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues.

Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.

y Remove empty hangers from the moving hanger and place them on the shelf before starting the cycle. Empty hangers may cause unnecessary noise, friction, and damage to fabrics. See Storing Hangers , page 28.

y Hang hangers in the same direction on the moving hanger to prevent collisions.

accessory hangers items to use it with shirts, dresses, suits, coats, skirts, pants without creases or too large for pants press, or any item that can use a hanger

Pants Crease

Care pants when creases are desired shelf sweaters, wool, knitwear, lingerie, shoes, hats, toys, and other clothing or items that cannot use hangers

26 OPERATION

Hangers

The hangers that come with the Styler are for use with the Styler only. Any plastic or metal hanger that has a hook less than 5/32 in. (4 mm) thick and hooks snugly into the indentations in the moving hanger can be used in the Styler.

• Do not use hangers with wool, knitwear, or delicate lingerie. The garments may stretch or be left with hanger marks.

• Wrinkles may appear at the back of the collar on some garments.

• Use the diagonal hanger grooves in the moving hanger for large or bulky items.

• Remove empty hangers or store them in the shelf during operation. See Storing Hangers , page 28.

1 Select an appropriate hanger.

Choose the Styler hanger that fits the item you are hanging up.

2 Fasten the buttons and zippers on all garments and hang them on hangers.

Doing so helps keep the garments from falling or becoming more wrinkled during the cycle. If a garment has no buttons or zipper, fasten it with a cotton string around the collar area.

3 Place the hangers into the slots of the moving hanger

• Place the hangers into the slots of the moving hanger.

Using the Moving Hanger

1 Insert hangers into slots and pull down to secure the hook snugly.

Hooks should fit down in the slots snugly to prevent noise, vibration, or damage to items during operation.

2 Use the diagonal slots (2 and 4) for bulky items.

Do not use diagonal slots and standard slots during the same cycle. The hangers may knock into each other and damage clothing.

3 Do not overcrowd items.

The fewer items, the better the drying performance. Items that touch the sides of the cabinet may pick up condensation from the cabinet and fail to dry completely.

Pants Hanger or Pants Crease Care

Place pants either on the moving hanger or in the Pants Crease Care, depending on whether maintaining the creases on the pants legs is desired.

• Hanging pants on the moving hanger may remove the creases on pants legs.

• To maintain the creases on pants legs, use the Pants Crease Care.

• Pants should be no wider than 38 in. (96 cm) or longer than 43 5/16 in. (110 cm) to fit in the Pants Crease Care. Check the size of the pants before using the Pants Crease Care. If pants are too large, use the moving hanger.

• The fabric content of the garments affects how well wrinkles are removed.

• Download the Extra Pants Care cycle for the most effective wrinkle removal for pants. See

Downloading Styler Cycles , page 36.

1 To open, fold the hook down toward the hanger blades to unlock and separate the blades.

2 Once pants are inserted, bring the blades together and rotate the hook up and away from the blades to lock them in place.

Using the Pants Crease Care

OPERATION 27

1 Open the Pants Crease Care by pressing on the icon on the side.

Hanging Pants On the Pants Hanger

1 Remove all objects from pants pockets and button the back pockets.

2 Hang the pants hanger on the hook above the Pants Crease Care that best fits the length of the pants being pressed.

If the pants are longer, use the higher hooks to keep the pants from hitting the floor of the cabinet.

2 Fold pants along crease lines (or where crease lines would be), and attach the pants hanger at the ends of the pants legs.

Pants should be no wider than 38 in. (96 cm) or longer than 43.3 in. (110 cm). Check the size of the pants before using the Pants

Crease Care. If pants are too large, use the moving hanger.

3 Tug gently on the sides of the pants legs.

Make sure pants are stretched tight within the hanger, with no wrinkles, and will not fall out of the hanger during the cycle.

3 Make sure the pants are hanging straight.

Check the creases on the legs to make sure they are lined up. If the pants are not folded properly at the creases and hanging straight, double lines may appear at the pants' edges.

4 Place the pants hanger on the moving hanger or in the Pants Crease Care.

4 Close the Pants Crease

Care, then straighten the pants once more.

Gently tug the edges of the pants to smooth out any wrinkles. Make sure the pants are hanging straight in the Pants

Crease Care.

Styler.

They will damage the finish.

Cleaning the Interior and Exterior

Proper care of your Styler can extend its life.

1 Clean the inside and outside of the machine with a damp cloth. Glass cleaner can be used to clean the front glass panel, but spray it on a cloth and wipe rather than spraying it directly on the panel.

2 Buff the door dry with a clean, dry cloth to prevent any water stains.

3 Allow the interior and exterior to dry completely before plugging in and operating the product.

CAUTION

• Do not spray water directly on the product.

• Do not use detergent, methylated spirits, solvents, or any volatile liquids to clean the exterior of the product.

• Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface.

• Keep sharp objects away from the exterior of the product. The touch panel may not work if damaged.

Cleaning the Lint Filter

Always remove the lint from the filter after every cycle. See Checking the Lint Filter , page 24.

If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged, wash the lint filter in warm, soapy water and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

• Never operate the Styler without the lint filter.

• Never operate the Styler with a wet lint filter.

Cleaning the Aroma Filter

For best results, wash the aroma filter using hot water and dish soap. After cleaning, wipe the filter with a clean cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it.

The aroma filter can also be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher.

• Never operate the Styler without the aroma filter.

• Never operate the Styler with a wet aroma filter.

Cleaning the Water Tanks

The water in the water supply tank contacts the clothing and items treated in the Styler directly.

Clean both tanks periodically and keep them clean at all times. If the tanks are not properly cleaned, they may start to smell or need to be replaced.

• Some discoloration of the water drain tank may occur over time. This is normal and will not affect product performance.

• Use only clean tap water in the supply tank for best performance and to prolong the life of the product. Do not use distilled water.

• Do not reuse the water from the water drain tank in the water supply tank.

38 MAINTENANCE

1 Clean the exterior of the tanks with a wet cloth.

2 Use a cleaning brush or detergent made exclusively for water tanks to clean the inside of the water tanks.

These can be found online or at a local RV and camping store.

Rinse tanks thoroughly after cleaning with detergent to remove any residue.

3 Make sure the drainage nozzle connected to the water drain tank and the water supply hole connected to the water supply tank are not clogged.
