Please adhere to the following critical warnings when using your TRITON 850:

• This dryer can not be used upside down.

• Risk of Fire: Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

• Do not install the dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is used, it must be a specific type identified by the manufacturer as suitable for clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials can collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint, which increases the risk of fire.

• The appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. Improper connection can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug.

• The dryer must be placed on firm, horizontal ground. Do not place it on carpet, as this will block the air intake. There should be at least 10cm between the dryer and any walls.

• Place the dryer in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight.

• Do not wash the dryer directly with water or use thinner, gasoline, or alcohol.

• Do not use spray cleaners on the interior. If the drum is stained, clean it with a damp cloth and remove any residue before the next load.

• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, follow these basic safety precautions:

• Read all instructions carefully.

• This appliance is for indoor use only.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.

• Do not place naked flame sources, such as candles, on the appliance.

• Do not block ventilation openings. Ensure vents are not covered.

• A location away from sources of heat such as coal or gas.

• Make sure the dryer does not stand on its power cord.

• Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the dryer is installed on a carpeted floor.

This dryer is not suitable to be directly placed on top of a washing machine. Use a rear stacking kit or dryer stack rack instead. A minimum of 50mm is needed between the top of the dryer and the ceiling.

Tools Required:

Wall Mounting Kit Includes:

Mounting Instructions:

1. Determine the dryer position on the wall and mark the required bracket position.

2. Fix the two wall hanging brackets to the wall securely (e.g., into the stud). If the stud position is too wide, fit a timber slat between the studs to mount the brackets.

3. To install the hanging hook to the timber, align the hanging hooks and fasten the screws tightly.

4. Install the L-exhaust hose and the Hose Connector using the installation hardware included.

5. Using 3x16mm screws (provided), fix the outlet in place firmly.

6. Using 4x12mm screws (provided), fix the two Wall Hanging Brackets to the dryer.

7. With assistance, mount the dryer on the wall bracket.

• The appliance shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.

• Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting.

• In the United States, only use foil-type flexible ducts specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A.

• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m.

• The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint.

Your dryer is shipped with the legs in the bag containing your user’s guide. To install and adjust the leveling legs, screw them into the bottom of the dryer.

If the floor is uneven, adjust the legs. Do not insert pieces of wood or other objects under the legs. Adjust the height level of the legs accordingly. Place the dryer on a sturdy, flat surface. If the dryer is on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration will occur. The allowable tilt is 1°.

This appliance must be properly grounded for your safety. Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock.

• This appliance requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with a three-prong ground.

• The power cord is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.

• Use of an extension cord is not recommended.

• The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

The control panel consists of a mode selector and a timer dial.

Dry Mode Selector:

• Auto Dry: Button is in the “up” position.

• Timed Dry: Button is pressed “down”.

Timer Selector / Temperature Control:

• OFF: When the dial is in the ‘OFF’ position, no power is supplied to the unit. As soon as the dial is turned clockwise, the dryer will start.

• Cool: This function is generally used to cool items that have just been dried to help prevent creasing. The dryer will generate cool air. (Approx. 0-20 mins on the dial).

• Warm: This function will dry and cool items, leaving them wrinkle-free depending on the material. Select the ‘Timed Dry’ heat option and set the timer between 60-150 minutes.

• Hot: For drying large quantities or bulky items (when the drum is more than 1/2 full). Select the ‘Timed Dry’ heat option and set the timer for more than 150 minutes.

• Air Dry: This function runs with cool air and is used to air items that need freshening, such as clothes stored for a long time. (This is a setting on the “Hot” side of the dial).

The TRITON 850 is designed with an automatic moisture sensor and provides both Auto Dry and Timed Dry modes.

Auto Dry Mode:

When the selector button is up, the unit works in automatic drying mode. Set the timer to 200 minutes. The unit will start the drying process and continue until the moisture reaches a set degree. The heating element will cut off, but the unit will continue the wrinkle guard process (tumbling without heat) until the timer runs to the “OFF” position.

Note: For heavy items like jeans, blankets, covers, towels, etc., the recommended mode is Timed Dry.

Timed Dry Mode:

When the selector button is pressed down, the unit will work under a timer-controlled mode. Set the timer according to the drying time reference for your load size.

Load weights and respective drying times are approximate.

For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate lint shedders (chenille and terry cloth) from lint collectors (synthetics, flannel, velveteen, corduroy). Separate non-colorfast from light-colored items, heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics, and permanent press from heavy, bulky items.

Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment’s care label says “Drip Dry”, “Line Dry”, or “Dry Flat”, do not dry it in the dryer. Certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated, while others may lose their shape. Other items that should not be tumble dried are:

• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.

• Wool (unless the garment’s manufacturer recommends it).

• Fiberglass.

• Laminated or rubber coated items.

• Vinyl or plastic.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Wipe the dryer surfaces, including the control panel, with a soft cloth and non-abrasive household detergents.

• Use a soft cloth to dry the surfaces.

• Do not pour water on the dryer.

Unplug the power cord prior to any cleaning. All filters must be in place when drying, and filters must be cleaned before and after each use.

Cleaning the Lint Filter:

1. Removing the Lint Filters: Remove by pulling outward using the four (4) grip holes in the filter assembly.

2. The filter assembly consists of three (3) parts: Exhaust Vent Shroud, Lint Filter, and Exhaust Filter.

3. Separate each of the above parts and clean the individual pieces using a SOFT brush or vacuum cleaner. DO NOT damage the filters.

4. Re-install the filter assembly: Reassemble the filter assembly in order: Exhaust Filter, then Lint Filter, then Exhaust Shroud. Align the entire assembly with the recessed position in the back of the drum and press firmly until the entire assembly is secure.

Cleaning the Air Intake Filter:

1. Removing the Air Intake Filter: Remove by pulling outward, holding the filter housing by the top and bottom.

2. Remove the filter inside the housing and clean using a SOFT brush or vacuum cleaner.

3. Replace the filter housing by pushing upwards with your thumb until the latch is secure.
