Hoover AB HDC 7FM User Guide

To ensure even drying, avoid overloading the dryer. Place clothes loosely and evenly inside the drum, allowing enough space for them to tumble freely. This helps in preventing clumping and ensures efficient drying.
First, check if the dryer is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the door is fully closed, as the dryer will not start if the door is ajar. Also, verify if the start button is being pressed correctly for activation.
To clean the lint filter, locate it at the front of the drum. Pull it out, remove any lint accumulated by hand or with a brush, and slide it back into place. Ensure it's cleaned after every use to maintain drying efficiency and safety.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the lint filter after each use, checking and cleaning the exhaust vent annually to prevent blockages, and inspecting the drum for any objects left behind. Periodically wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
If drying takes longer, check for a clogged lint filter or exhaust vent, as these can reduce airflow. Ensure the load size is not excessive and that clothes are not too wet before drying. Also, verify the selected drying cycle matches the fabric type.
To eliminate odors, run an empty cycle with a damp cloth soaked in a mixture of water and vinegar inside the drum. Clean the lint filter and wipe down the interior with a mild detergent. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent odor buildup.
Check for any foreign objects, like coins or buttons, in the drum. Ensure that the dryer is level and stable. If noises persist, inspect the drum seal and support rollers for wear and tear, and consider professional servicing if needed.
Refer to the user manual to understand each program's features. Choose a program based on fabric type and desired dryness level. For delicate fabrics, use a gentle cycle, and for heavier loads, select a more robust drying program.
To dry shoes, remove laces and insoles, and place shoes in a special dryer rack if available. Set the dryer to a low heat or air-dry cycle to prevent damage. Regularly check to ensure they are drying evenly and not overheating.
Ensure the selected program requires heat; some cycles may not. Check the thermal fuse and heating element for faults, and inspect the exhaust vent for blockages. If issues persist, consult a professional technician.
