FAQs
What is the maximum load capacity of this dryer?
The dryer has a maximum load capacity of 5 kg, which is equivalent to approximately 13 T-shirts.

How often should I clean the lint filter?
The lint filter should be cleaned after every drying cycle to maintain efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
Can I stack this dryer on top of a washing machine?
Yes, this dryer is designed with a space-saving, stackable feature, allowing it to be placed on top of a compatible washing machine. Ensure a secure stacking kit is used if recommended.
What is the benefit of the 60°C high-temperature hygiene mode?
The 60°C mode helps to sanitize laundry by killing bacteria and allergens, providing a hygienic drying solution for items that require it.
Is this dryer suitable for delicates?
Yes, the dryer features versatile modes that can accommodate delicate fabrics, offering a gentler drying process to prevent damage.
How does the vented system work?
A fan within the dryer draws air through the drum, heats it, and then expels the moist air through a vent hose to the outside of your home.
Troubleshooting
Dryer not starting
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the door is fully closed and the start button has been pressed correctly.
Clothes are not drying properly
Verify that the load size does not exceed the 5 kg capacity. Clean the lint filter, as a clogged filter restricts airflow. Ensure the vent hose is not kinked or blocked, and the external vent is clear.
Dryer is making unusual noises
Check that the dryer is level on the floor. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the drum. If noise persists, contact customer support.
Excessive lint on clothes
Clean the lint filter before and after each use. Ensure the vent hose and external vent are free from lint buildup.
