Troubleshooting

Dryer not starting

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the door is fully closed. Verify that the selected program has started correctly via the touch controls. Ensure the child lock is not engaged.

Clothes are still damp after a cycle

Check if the lint filter is clogged and clean it. Ensure the load size does not exceed the 4kg capacity. Verify the correct drying mode and temperature were selected. Check the vent hose for obstructions.

Dryer is making unusual noise

Ensure the dryer is on a stable, level surface. Check for any loose items inside the drum or foreign objects. Ensure the load is balanced within the drum.

Clean the lint filter and check the vent hose for blockages. Reduce the load size. Ensure the room has adequate ventilation. If using a specific drying mode, try a different one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Venting: Ensure you have a suitable external vent outlet. Connect the vent hose securely to the dryer's rear outlet and the wall vent.
  2. Placement: Position the dryer on a stable, level surface. For wall mounting or stacking, consult the specific instructions provided in the user manual to ensure secure installation.

Care:

  • Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter after every use. It is typically located inside the door opening. Remove lint by hand or with a soft brush.
  • Drum: Wipe the interior drum occasionally with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
  • Exterior: Clean the outer casing with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
