MAINTENANCE

WARNING

• Remove the power plug when you clean the appliance. Not removing the plug may result in electric shock.

Cleaning the Lint Filter

Clean the lint filter before each drying cycle. Cleaning the lint filter will reduce drying time and

energy consumption.

Open the door.

Remove the first lint filter.

Remove the second lint filter.

• Open the second lint filter.

Rinse away the lint under warm, running

water.

Dry the lint filters completely, close them and

reinsert both lint filters.

Open both lint filters and remove all the lint.

• Open the first lint filter.

NOTE

• Remove moisture from the mesh. Otherwise, the lint filter may be clogged due to water film and the appliance may not operate.

• If the lint filter is not in the appliance, you can not operate the appliance.

Emptying the Water Container

Condensed water is collected in the water container.

Empty the water container after every use. Not doing so will affect the drying performance.

If the water container is full, the D icon glows and the buzzer sounds while the appliance is operating. If this should occur, the water container needs to be emptied within the next hour.

Pull out the water container.

Empty the water container in the sink.

Push it back into the appliance.

Cleaning the Cool Air Inlet Grill

Vacuum the Cool Air Inlet grill 3 - 4 times a year to make sure there is no build-up of lint or dirt that may cause improper air flow.

NOTE

• Warm air is expelled through the ventilation grill.

• Adequate ventilation should be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from units burning other fuels, such as open fires.

Wiping the Moisture Sensor

This device senses the moisture level of the laundry during operation, which means it must be cleaned regularly to remove any build-up of lime scale on the surface of the sensor.

Wipe the sensors inside the drum.

Press the Start/Pause button.

CAUTION

• Do not wipe the moisture sensor with abrasive materials. Always clean the sensor with a rough sponge.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service:

Diagnosing Problems

Symptoms Reason Solution

• Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the appliance’s rating plate.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry faster.

• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying.

• Remove the lint from the lint filter before every cycle. With the lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.

Appliance will not turn on.

Appliance does not heat.

Clothes take too long to dry.

Power cord is not properly plugged in.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

Load is not properly sorted.

Large load of heavy fabrics.

Appliance controls are not set properly.

Lint filter needs to be cleaned.

Symptoms Reason Solution

Clothes take too long to dry.

Drying time is not consistent.

Greasy or dirty spots are left on clothes.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

Appliance is overloaded.

Appliance is underloaded.

Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.

Fabric softener is used incorrectly.

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the appliance.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or add some extra wet clothes to the load.

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.

• When washing laundry that is to be dried in the appliance, use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.

• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads.

• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the instructions for your washing machine and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.

Symptoms Reason Solution

Clothes are wrinkled.

Clothes are shrinking.

Lint is left on clothes.

Excess static in clothes after drying.

Clothes have dried too long (overdried).

Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after cycle ends.

Garment care instructions are not being followed.

Lint filter has not been cleaned properly.

Laundry has not been sorted properly.

Appliance is overloaded.

Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in pockets.

Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).

Drying synthetics, non-Iron, or synthetic blends.

• Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time.

• Use the Anti crease option.

• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in the appliance. Use a low or no heat setting.

• Remove the lint from the lint filter before every cycle. With the lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the lint filter during the cycle.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

• Check pockets thoroughly before drying clothes.

• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use Sensor Dry programmes.

• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use shorter Timed Drying time settings.
