FAQs
How do I connect the vent hose?
The dryer comes with a vent hose. You will need to connect one end to the back of the dryer and the other end to an external vent opening. Ensure the connection is secure and the hose is not kinked.
What is the maximum drying time for a cycle?
The maximum cycle time available on this dryer is 120 minutes.
How often should I clean the lint filter?
For optimal performance and safety, the removable lint filter should be emptied and cleaned after every drying cycle.
Can I use this dryer for delicates?
While the dryer has multiple programs, specific 'delicate' settings are not detailed. It is recommended to use lower temperature settings and shorter cycles for more delicate fabrics, and always check garment care labels.
What is the warranty period?
This Willow dryer comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee. Proof of purchase and the serial number are required for warranty claims.
How do I clean the exterior of the dryer?
The exterior can be easily cleaned by wiping it down with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Dryer not starting
Ensure the dryer is plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the door is securely closed. Verify that a program has been selected and the start button has been pressed.
Clothes are still damp after a cycle
Check that the lint filter is clean. Ensure the load size does not exceed the 8kg capacity. Verify the correct program and temperature setting were selected for the fabric type. Check that the vent hose is not blocked or kinked.
Dryer is making unusual noises
Check for any foreign objects in the drum, such as coins or buttons. Ensure the dryer is level. A slight hum or thump during tumbling is normal.
Excessive lint on clothes or around the filter
Ensure the lint filter is cleaned after every use. Check the vent hose for obstructions. Overloading the dryer can sometimes lead to increased lint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a vented dryer, meaning it requires a vent hose to be fitted and connected to an external outlet (wall, window, or purpose-built vent). Ensure the dryer is placed on a stable, level surface and has adequate clearance around it for airflow.
Compatibility: This dryer is compatible with most standard household electrical outlets. It is designed for use with a variety of fabric types, with program selection guiding appropriate drying.
Care: The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The stainless steel inner drum can also be wiped clean.
