FAQs

What is Heat Pump Technology and why is it beneficial?

Heat Pump Technology dries clothes using a system that recirculates hot air, drying at lower temperatures. This makes it highly energy-efficient (A+ rating) and gentler on fabrics, reducing wear and tear.

How long does a typical drying cycle take?

Cycle times can vary. For example, a standard cycle might take around 244 minutes. Heat pump dryers generally have longer cycle times than conventional dryers to achieve their high energy efficiency.

Can I use the dryer if I don't have Wi-Fi?

Yes, the dryer can be operated manually without Wi-Fi. However, you will not be able to use the smart features like remote control, monitoring, and app-based diagnostics.

How do I empty the water tank?

The water tank, called EasyCase, is located in the dryer door. Simply slide it out, empty the collected water, and slide it back in securely. The machine will indicate when it's full.

Is this dryer suitable for woollen items?

Yes, this dryer features a Woolmark Apparel Care programme, specifically designed to dry woollens gently and effectively, preventing shrinkage and maintaining their shape.

What does the 'Easy Iron' function do?

The Easy Iron function helps to reduce creases in your laundry by automatically adjusting the drum's motion. This makes ironing faster and less labour-intensive after drying.

What is the warranty period for this tumble dryer?

The warranty period for this Candy tumble dryer is 1 year.

Troubleshooting

Dryer not starting

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the door is properly closed. Verify if a cycle has been selected and the start button pressed. If using Delay Start, ensure it's not activated.

Clothes are still damp after a cycle

Check if the dryer is overloaded. Ensure the lint filters are clean. Select a more intensive drying programme or an 'Extra Dry' option if available. Verify the correct cycle was chosen for the fabric type.

Water tank full indicator is on, but the tank is empty

Ensure the water tank is correctly seated in its housing. Check for any obstructions around the sensor.

Dryer making unusual noise

Check for any foreign objects in the drum. Ensure the dryer is level. If the noise persists, contact customer support.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is functioning. Restart your router and the dryer. Check if the dryer is within range of your Wi-Fi signal. Consult the hOn app's troubleshooting guide.
