Hotpoint Tumble Dryer - 9kg Capacity, Heat Pump

A 9kg capacity means the dryer can comfortably handle approximately 9 kilograms of wet laundry per cycle. This is generally suitable for the daily laundry needs of a household with 3 to 4 people, including larger items like towels and bedding.

The A+++ energy rating signifies that this tumble dryer is among the most energy-efficient appliances available. It consumes significantly less electricity than lower-rated models, leading to reduced energy bills and a lower environmental impact over the lifespan of the product.

Simply select the ActiveCare programme for your load, and the dryer will automatically optimize settings for gentle drying.

This Hotpoint tumble dryer comes with a 1-year labour warranty and a 10-year parts warranty. Please note that the full 10-year parts warranty requires product registration. Refer to the documentation provided with your dryer for registration instructions.

Yes, with the `ActiveCare` programme and multiple specific drying cycles, this dryer is designed to handle a wide range of fabrics, including many delicates. Always check the care label on your garments and select the most appropriate gentle programme to ensure optimal care.

The 24-hour delay timer allows you to postpone the start of a drying cycle for up to 24 hours. Load your laundry, select your desired programme, then press the 'Delay Start' button repeatedly to set the desired delay time. The dryer will automatically begin the cycle after the set delay.

Reverse tumble action means the drum periodically changes its rotation direction during the drying cycle. This helps to prevent clothes from tangling, especially larger items, ensuring more even drying and reducing the amount of creasing, making ironing easier.

Check if the dryer is securely plugged into a live power socket. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that the `24-hour delay timer` hasn't been activated, preventing an immediate start. Check your home's circuit breaker.

Ensure the `lint filter` is clean. Empty the `water reservoir`. Avoid overloading the drum beyond the 9kg capacity. Select the appropriate drying programme for the fabric type and desired dryness level. Check if the heat exchanger is clean.

Thoroughly clean the `lint filter` before every cycle. Ensure items are sorted correctly; some fabrics naturally produce more lint. Use appropriate drying cycles to prevent excessive agitation.

The `water reservoir` might be full and needs emptying. The `lint filter` may be blocked, causing overheating. Check for power interruptions. Allow the dryer to cool down if it overheated due to restricted airflow.

Do not overload the dryer; clothes need space to tumble freely. Remove laundry promptly after the cycle ends. Utilize the `Pre-Iron setting` or `reverse tumble action` if available to minimize wrinkles. Avoid over-drying.

Ensure the dryer is level; adjust the feet if necessary. Check for foreign objects (coins, buttons) in the drum or lint filter area. If the noise persists and sounds mechanical, contact customer support.
