• 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.
Tip : To use your favorite perfume, spray it 4-5 times on a cotton pad and place the pad in the aroma filter. The strength of the resulting fragrance may vary depending on the scent used.
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.

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 reduce the creases on pants legs.
• To maintain the creases on pants legs, use the Pants Crease Care.
• The Pants Crease Care is not designed to work with pants that are wider than 38 in. (96 cm) or longer than 43 5/16 in. (110 cm). Check the size of the pants before using the Pants
Crease Care. If pants are too large, use the moving hanger.
OPERATION 27
1 To open, fold the hook down toward the hanger blades to unlock and separate the blades.

Using the Pants Crease Care
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.
The Pants Crease Care is not designed to work with pants that are wider than 38 in. (96 cm) or longer than 43 5/16 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.
Fix the pants with
2 clips before closing the
Pants Crease Care. If the pants legs are not aligned properly or the pants are not hanging straight, double lines may appear at the pants' edges, or the pants may be wrinkled.
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.
