FAQs
How often should I clean the filters?
It is recommended to clean the Hoover Double Filter after every drying cycle, or at least once a week depending on usage, to maintain optimal performance and efficiency.
What is the advantage of heat pump technology?
Heat pump technology is significantly more energy-efficient as it recycles hot air instead of venting it, leading to lower energy consumption and being gentler on your clothes, thus prolonging their life.
Can I use the hOn app without Wi-Fi?
The hOn app uses both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. While some basic functions might be accessible via Bluetooth, full remote control, programme downloads, and performance monitoring require a Wi-Fi connection for the dryer.
How do I empty the Aquavision water reservoir?
The Aquavision reservoir is located within the dryer door. Simply pull it out, empty the collected water, and slide it back into place until it clicks securely.
Is this dryer suitable for a Woolmark-certified garment?
Yes, this dryer features a Woolmark-certified programme, specifically designed to dry woollen items gently and effectively, maintaining their natural softness and preventing shrinkage.
What is the cycle time for a full load?
The cycle time can vary depending on the programme and load. For a full 9kg load on a standard cotton cycle, the estimated time is around 260 minutes (4 hours 20 minutes). Sensor drying programmes will stop automatically when the laundry reaches the desired dryness level.
Can I stack this dryer on top of a washing machine?
This model is designed for freestanding use. While stacking kits are available for some Hoover dryers, please consult the product manual or Hoover support to confirm compatibility and safety for this specific model.
Troubleshooting
Dryer not starting
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the power outlet is functional. Ensure the door is fully closed. Check if a delay start timer is active.
Clothes are still damp
Ensure the load size does not exceed the 9kg capacity. Check that filters are clean and not blocked. Verify the selected programme is appropriate for the fabric type. Ensure the water reservoir is not full, as this can sometimes affect performance.
Water leaking from the appliance
Ensure the Aquavision water reservoir is correctly seated. Check that the door seal is clean and free from debris. If leakage persists, contact customer support.
Error code displayed
Refer to the specific error code in the full user manual. Common solutions involve cleaning filters or emptying the water reservoir.
App connectivity issues
Verify your home Wi-Fi network is working. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Restart both the dryer and your router. Check if the hOn app is updated to the latest version.
