This document is a user manual for a Candy tumble dryer, providing comprehensive instructions for safe use, installation, maintenance, and optimal performance. It is available in Italian, German, English, Spanish, and French.
Function Description
The Candy tumble dryer is designed for domestic use to dry household textiles and garments. It utilizes Wi-Fi technology, allowing remote control via the hOn App. The dryer collects water removed from laundry in a container, which needs to be emptied after each drying cycle (or can be permanently drained using an optional kit). The drying process includes a cool-down phase at the end to ensure clothes are not damaged by heat. The drum rotates intermittently after the cycle to minimize creasing.
