FAQs

What is heat pump technology and why is it beneficial?

Heat pump technology recycles warm air, using it to dry clothes more efficiently than traditional methods. This results in significant energy savings and is gentler on fabrics, reducing wear and tear.

How often should I clean the lint filter and condenser filter?

The lint filter should be cleaned after every use. The condenser filter, typically located at the bottom, should be cleaned approximately once a month, or more frequently if you notice a drop in drying performance.

Can I use the Quick 30 program for a full load?

No, the Quick 30 program is designed for small loads of up to 0.5kg. Using it for larger loads will result in clothes being inadequately dried.

What is the Anti-Crease function for?

The Anti-Crease function operates for a period after the drying cycle has finished. It periodically tumbles the laundry without heat to help prevent deep wrinkles from setting in, reducing the need for ironing.

How does Sensor Dry work?

Sensor Dry uses moisture sensors inside the drum to detect the dryness level of your laundry. The dryer automatically stops the cycle once the selected level of dryness is achieved, preventing over-drying and saving energy.

Can I adjust the drying time for any program?

The i-Time function allows you to adjust the cycle duration for specific programs like Time Dry, Wool, Duvet, and Warm-Up. Other programs are typically set automatically by the selected program or Sensor Dry.

What is the warranty period for this dryer?

Please refer to your purchase documentation or the manufacturer's warranty information for the exact warranty period. Typically, appliances come with a standard manufacturer's warranty.

Troubleshooting

Dryer not starting

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the power outlet is working. Ensure the door is fully closed. Verify that a program has been selected and the start button is pressed.

Clothes are still damp after cycle

Ensure the load size does not exceed the 8kg capacity. Check that the correct program has been selected for the fabric type. Clean the lint filter and condenser filter, as blockages can reduce drying efficiency.

Long drying times

This can be due to a clogged lint filter or condenser filter. Ensure adequate ventilation around the dryer. Overloading the drum can also increase drying times.

Unusual noise during operation

Check for any foreign objects in the drum or that might have fallen into the lint trap. Ensure the dryer is level and stable on the floor.
