To start a drying cycle, load your clothes into the drum, close the door, select the desired drying program using the control knob, and press the start button. Ensure that the water tank is empty and the filter is clean before starting.
If the dryer does not start, make sure it is plugged in and the door is securely closed. Check the circuit breaker and ensure the start button is firmly pressed. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door, locate the filter at the bottom of the door opening, and pull it out. Remove any lint by hand or with a soft brush. Reinsert the filter before using the dryer again.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the lint filter after every use, emptying the water tank, and checking the vent hose for any obstructions. It's also advisable to wipe the drum and door seal periodically.
If the dryer isn't heating, verify that the selected cycle requires heat. Check if the machine is overloaded or if the lint filter is blocked. If the issue persists, it may be a heating element problem, requiring professional service.
To prevent wrinkles, promptly remove clothes after the cycle ends. Use the anti-crease function if available, and avoid overloading the dryer for more even drying.
The maximum load capacity for this dryer model is 8 kilograms. For optimal performance, avoid overloading and ensure the clothes can tumble freely.
To reduce drying time, spin clothes at a higher speed in the washing machine before transferring them to the dryer. Clean the lint filter and ensure the vent hose is unobstructed. Select an appropriate drying program based on fabric type.
Drying shoes in the dryer is generally not recommended as it can damage both the shoes and the dryer. If necessary, use a dryer rack if your model supports it and select a low heat or air-only cycle.
If the dryer is making unusual noises, check for loose items like coins or buttons in the drum. Ensure the dryer is level on the floor. Persistent noise may indicate a mechanical issue, requiring professional inspection.
