Maintenance Features
Cleaning and Care:
- Filter Clean: The lint filter must be cleaned after each use. Remove it by pulling it straight up, clean lint with a cloth or hands, and ensure it's thoroughly dry before reinstallation if cleaned with water.
- Cleaning Cabinet and Drum: Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a wet cloth dampened with clean water. Do not rinse water directly over the machine. Avoid solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners, or all-purpose cleaners as they can damage plastic surfaces. Dry all parts with a soft cloth before starting the dryer.
Safety Reset:
The dryer has a safety cut-out switch activated by temperature. If the dryer is overheating, this button must be reset. Wait 10 minutes for cooling down before resetting. Common reasons for overheating include a blocked filter, blocked exhaust outlets, poor ventilation in the room, or lightweight garments sucked over the filter. To reset, use a finger or pencil to press the button on the backboard.
Trouble Shooting:
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- Dryer does not start: Check for power cut, loose plug, overloaded dryer, or cut temperature fuse. Solutions include restoring electricity, checking the plug, ensuring load does not exceed capacity, and restoring the temperature fuse.
- Appliance gets hot or burnt smell: Usually due to a clogged lint filter or exhaust duct. Clean the lint filter after each cycle and clean the exhaust duct.
- Clothes are too dry: Caused by an overloaded machine, clothes not removed in time, improper sorting, or selected temperature being too high. Solutions include not exceeding rated capacity, removing clothes immediately, and observing care labels.
- Clothes shrink: Indicates laundry is over-dried. Observe care labels; for sensitive items, remove when damp and hang to dry fully.
- Pilling on clothes: Laundry is sensitive to rubbing. Use fabric softener and consider spraying laundry starch on cuffs/necklines when ironing. Turn laundry inside out to avoid pilling.
- Noise: Heavy wet clothes turning and bumping, or airflow hitting the drum, can cause noise.
Other Failure (Display Codes):
- E33: Temperature sensor broken or PCB failure. Contact local service center.
- E82: Temperature Sensor is short circuited or PCB fault. Contact local service center.
