Hang larger items on the diagonal indentations on the moving hanger.
• The moving hanger will move even when only the shelf is being used.
• When using an ordinary metal/plastic hanger, the hook is less than 4 mm thick and the hook must fit in the indentation in the moving hanger snugly. If the fit is too lose, it may result in vibration, noise and damage to clothing.
CAUTION
• Remove empty hangers from the moving hanger and place them on the shelf before starting the programme. Empty hangers may cause unnecessary noise, friction, and damage to fabrics.
• Do not lean or pull on the moving hanger.
• Hang hangers in the same direction on the moving hanger to prevent collisions.
• Do not allow children to play with or hang onto the moving hanger. The appliance could tip, resulting in damage or injury.
• Use the moving hanger for suits, coats, jackets, blouses, dresses, skirts, and pants that don’t require a crease. Use the pants crease care to crease pants.
• Anything that can be securely placed on a hanger and steamed or dried without retaining hanger marks or other damage can be placed on 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 ( c , e ) for bulky items.
• Do not use diagonal slots ( c , e ) and standard slots ( a , b , d , f , g ) during the
22 OPERATION same programme. The hangers may knock into each other and damage clothing.
• Doing so helps keep the garments from falling or becoming more wrinkled during the programme. If a garment has no buttons or zipper, fasten it with a cotton string around the collar area.
NOTE
• Do not overcrowd items. The fewer items, the better the styling performance. Items that touch the sides of the cabinet may pick up condensation from the cabinet and fail to style completely.
3
Place the hangers into the slots of the moving hanger.
How to use Hangers
The hangers that come with the appliance are for use with the appliance only. Any plastic or metal hanger that has a hook less than 4 mm thick and hooks snugly into the indentations in the moving hanger can be used in the appliance.
• 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.
• Fasten buttons and zippers on hanging clothes to prevent them from falling off hangers during operation. Fasten the neck area with cotton string if there is no button or zipper.
• Remove or store the shelf when hanging longer items so items won’t get wrinkled.
1
Select an appropriate hanger.
• Choose the appliance hanger that fits the item you are hanging up.
2
Fasten the buttons and zippers on all garments and hang them on hangers.
The Pants Hanger
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.
NOTE
• Hanging pants on the moving hanger may reduce the creases on pants legs. To maintain the creases on pants legs, use the pants crease care.

Possible Cause & Solution
Item too large for hanger or fabric too delicate.
• Use the right size hanger for the item so the fabric won’t bunch up and cause wrinkles. Some fabrics are delicate and will bunch around the hanger no matter what you do. Use the shelf for lingerie and other delicate items.
Pants were hung on the moving hanger, not in the pants press.
• Hang pants in the pants press to maintain creases at edge of pants legs.
Fabric is not washable, or is not colourfast.
• Check fabric care labels before treating items.

Your home appliance and smartphone is not connected to the Wi-Fi network.
Possible Cause & Solution
The password for the Wi-Fi that you are trying to connect to is incorrect.

Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.
• Turn off the Mobile data of your smartphone and register the appliance using the Wi-Fi network.
The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.
• The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and numbers. (Do not use special characters.)
The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.
