FAQs
How do I connect my Android phone to the dryer?
Ensure NFC is enabled on your Android smartphone. Open the Candy Simply Fi app, navigate to the dryer connection section, and hold your phone against the NFC symbol on the dryer. Follow the on-screen prompts in the app to complete the pairing.
What is the 'kg detector' feature?
The 'kg detector' is a smart sensor that weighs the laundry load and automatically adjusts the drying time and intensity accordingly. This ensures optimal drying results while saving energy and protecting your clothes.
How often should I clean the filter?
It is recommended to clean the lint filter after every drying cycle. A filter cleaning indicator will also light up on the display to remind you when cleaning is necessary.
Can I use this dryer without the app?
Yes, the dryer can be operated manually using the control panel without connecting to the app. The app and NFC provide enhanced features and remote control capabilities.
What does the 'Condensation efficiency class: C' rating mean?
This rating indicates the efficiency of moisture extraction during the drying cycle. Class C means it meets a certain standard for condensation efficiency, but there are more efficient systems available (e.g., Class A).
How do I use the 24-hour delay timer?
After selecting your desired drying program, press the delay start button repeatedly to set the number of hours you want to delay the start (up to 24 hours). Then, press the start button.
Is the drum made of stainless steel?
The drum material is specified as Galvanized. While durable, it differs from stainless steel.
Troubleshooting
Dryer won't turn on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the door is fully closed, as the dryer will not operate if the door is ajar.
Clothes are still damp after a cycle
Ensure the load size does not exceed the 8 kg capacity. Check that the correct drying program and level were selected. Clean the filter and empty the water reservoir, as a blocked filter or full reservoir can affect performance.
Water is leaking from the machine
Verify that the water reservoir is correctly seated and has not been overfilled. Check the seals around the door and the reservoir for any damage.
NFC connection issues
Ensure your smartphone has NFC enabled and is compatible. Try moving the phone closer to the NFC area on the dryer. Restart both your phone and the dryer. Ensure the Candy Simply Fi app is up to date.
Excessive noise or vibration
Ensure the dryer is level using the adjustable feet. Check that the load is balanced within the drum. Remove any transit bolts if this is a new installation.
