FIRST TIME USE

Remove all the tapes used to hold items on the machine.

Before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any

dust that could have accumulated during transport. Slight odour

or vapour may be found if you open the door during its ﬁrst use,

this is normal and should only last a few minutes.

Make sure that the water tank is correctly inserted. Make sure

that the drain hose on the back of the dryer is properly

connected, either to the dryers's water tank or to your domestic

drainage system.

The dryer must be installed in a room with a temperature

ranging between 5°C and 35°C to ensure proper operation.

DAILY USE

Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST:

- remember to empty your water tank after each drying cycle.

- remember to clean your condenser unit regularly

(monthly).

- remember to clean your lter after each drying cycle.

Refer to the Care & Maintenance section.

1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.

2. Open the door and load garments; always refer to instructions on

clothing labels and the max loads indicated in the programme

section. Empty pockets. Make sure garments do not get caught

between the door and/or the door filter. Do not load items that

are dripping wet. Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

3. Close the door.

door and pull the clothing out. If the machine is not switched off

manually, after about a quarter of an hour from the end of the

cycle , the appliance turns off automatically to save energy.

Do you have a question about the Hotpoint H3D91GSUK and is the answer not in the manual?

This document describes a Hotpoint tumble dryer, providing comprehensive instructions for its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Hotpoint tumble dryer is designed to efficiently dry laundry. It offers a variety of programs tailored to different fabric types and load sizes, along with several options to customize drying cycles. The appliance features a control panel with an ON/OFF button, a programme selection knob, and a Start/Pause button. Options include Crease Care, Dryness Level, Start Delay, Timed Drying, Cycle End Signal, Gentle drying, and Rapid drying. Indicators on the panel display the selected dryness level (Iron Dry, Hanger Dry, Cupboard Dry, Extra Dry), programme status (Drying, Cool Down, END), and alerts for an empty water tank, a dirty door filter, or a dirty condenser unit. The dryer also incorporates a "Crease Care" system, which rotates the drum at regular intervals after the cycle ends to prevent creases.

Important Technical Specifications

The dryer's capacity varies, with models supporting maximum loads of 8 kg and 9 kg for dry laundry. Power consumption in off-mode (Po) and left-on mode (Pl) is 0.15 Watts for both capacities. Energy efficiency is a key feature, with the "Eco Cotton" program being the most efficient for drying normal wet cotton laundry. For an 8 kg model, the "Eco Cotton" program consumes 4.75 kWh over 156 minutes for an 8 kg load, and 2.55 kWh over 87 minutes for a 4 kg load. The "Synthetics" program for a 4 kg load consumes 2.26 kWh over 110 minutes. For a 9 kg model, the "Eco Cotton" program consumes 5.23 kWh over 162 minutes for a 9 kg load, and 2.79 kWh over 92 minutes for a 4.5 kg load, with "Synthetics" remaining at 2.26 kWh over 110 minutes for a 4 kg load. The appliance operates optimally in rooms with temperatures between 5°C and 35°C.

Usage Features

Before first use, users are instructed to remove all tapes, clean the drum, ensure the water tank is correctly inserted, and verify the drain hose connection. The daily use procedure involves plugging in the dryer, loading garments (observing clothing labels and max load limits), closing the door, pressing ON/OFF, selecting a program and options, and pressing Start/Pause. At the end of the cycle, a buzzer sounds, and an indicator signals completion. Laundry should be removed promptly to prevent creases. The machine automatically turns off after about 15 minutes of inactivity to save energy. The door can be opened during a cycle to check laundry or remove dry items, with drying resuming after closing the door and pressing Start/Pause. The manual provides a comprehensive list of programs, including Eco Cotton, Synthetics, Jeans, Refresh, Duvet, Bed & Bath, Baby, Pre Iron, Shirts, Silk, Wool, Mixed, Rapid 30', and Synthetic, each with recommended load sizes and specific drying characteristics. Options like Crease Care, Dryness Level (Iron Dry, Hanger Dry, Cupboard Dry, Extra Dry), Start Delay (up to 10 hours), Timed Drying (from 10 minutes to 3 hours), Cycle End Signal, Gentle drying, Key Lock, and Rapid drying allow for tailored drying experiences.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Key maintenance tasks include:

Emptying the water tank: This should be done after each drying cycle by pulling out the container and emptying it into a sink.
Cleaning the door filter: The door filter must be cleaned after each cycle by removing lint from its surface. The filter is essential for preventing lint buildup and maintaining proper airflow.
Cleaning the condenser unit: This should be done regularly (monthly). The condenser unit is removed by unlocking three catches, and fluff deposits are cleaned off by running cold water along its rear end and sides.
Cleaning the tumble dryer: External metal, plastic, and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The front air intake grille should be cleaned every 6 months with a vacuum cleaner to remove lint. Lint deposits from the front part of the condenser and the filter area should also be vacuumed periodically. Solvents or abrasives should not be used.

The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide to address common issues such as the dryer not turning on, not starting, garments remaining wet, long drying times, and error indicators. For more complex issues, users are advised to contact After-sales Service. A QR code is provided for additional information on dryer cleaning.
