Troubleshooting

Clothes remain damp after a cycle

Ensure the lint filter is clean and check that the correct drying program was selected for the fabric type.

Control panel unresponsive

Check if the child lock function is activated; refer to the user manual to deactivate it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High energy efficiency with an A+ rating
  • Gentle on fabrics due to lower heat pump temperatures
  • Wide range of 15 specialized drying programs
  • Anti-crease function reduces ironing time
  • Compact dimensions fit easily in standard laundry spaces

Cons

  • Drying cycles take longer than traditional non-heat pump dryers
  • Requires regular maintenance of filters to ensure peak performance
  • Not suitable for extremely large loads exceeding 8kg

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal operation, place the dryer on a flat, level surface with at least a small amount of ventilation space around the sides. Ensure the lint filter is cleaned after every single drying cycle to maintain airflow and energy efficiency. Periodically check the heat exchanger area according to the manual to prevent dust buildup. The unit's compact dimensions of 84.5 x 59.6 x 56.3 cm make it highly compatible with most standard kitchen or utility room cabinetry, but always double-check your floor space before installation.
