FAQs

What is Heat Pump Technology?

Heat Pump Technology uses a refrigeration system to recycle hot air, drying clothes more efficiently at lower temperatures compared to traditional condenser or vented dryers. This saves energy and is gentler on fabrics.

How do I use the EasyCase water tank?

The EasyCase tank is located in the dryer door. It collects the water removed from clothes during the drying cycle. Simply slide it out, empty the collected water, and slide it back in. The indicator light will show when it's full.

Can I use the hOn app with this dryer?

Yes, this is a Wi-Fi controlled model. You can download the Candy hOn app on your smartphone to monitor cycles, select programs, and run diagnostics remotely.

How often should I clean the filters?

The main lint filter should be cleaned after every drying cycle. The condenser filter requires periodic cleaning, typically monthly depending on usage; check your user manual for specific instructions.

Is this dryer suitable for delicates like wool?

Yes, this dryer features a Woolmark Apparel Care program specifically designed to gently dry wool garments, preventing shrinkage and maintaining their texture. The lower drying temperatures also benefit other delicates.

What does the Anti-Crease function do?

The Anti-Crease function activates after the drying cycle finishes. It periodically tumbles the drum to help reduce wrinkling and creasing in your clothes, making them easier to iron or even ready to wear.

What is the annual energy consumption?

The annual energy consumption is rated at 269 kWh, contributing to its A+ energy efficiency class and helping to reduce electricity bills.

Troubleshooting

Dryer won't start

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the door is fully closed. Verify that a program has been selected and the start button pressed. Check if the water tank is full and needs emptying.

Clothes are still damp

Ensure the load is not overloaded; reduce the amount of laundry. Check that the correct drying program has been selected for the fabric type. Clean the lint filter and condenser filter, as blockages can impede drying.

Error code displayed

Consult the user manual for a specific explanation of the error code. Common codes relate to filter cleaning or water tank issues.

Dryer is unusually noisy

Check for foreign objects in the drum. Ensure the dryer is level on the floor. Verify that items like buttons or zippers are not catching excessively.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is functioning correctly. Restart your router and the dryer. Check if the dryer is within Wi-Fi range. Re-attempt pairing through the hOn app.
