This document is a user manual for a Zanussi tumble dryer, model ZDH87A2PW, designed to help users get started easily with their appliance.
The Zanussi ZDH87A2PW is a tumble dryer designed for household use, capable of drying various types of laundry. It operates using a heat pump system, which contains flammable gas (propane R290) for environmental compatibility. The appliance offers multiple drying programs tailored to different fabric types and desired dryness levels. These programs include "Cottons Eco" for energy-efficient cotton drying, "Cottons" for general cotton items, "Synthetics," "Delicates" for sensitive fabrics, "Wool" for gentle drying of washable woollens, "Time Dry" for setting a specific drying duration, "Refresh" for airing out stored textiles, "Easy Iron" for fabrics requiring minimal ironing, "Sportwear" for thin and light sportswear, "Denim" for leisure clothing, "Bed Linen" for sheets and duvet covers, and "Mix EasyDry" for cotton and synthetic blends at low temperatures.
The dryer features a control panel with a program knob, a display, and touch buttons for various options. The display provides information such as time drying option status, delay start status, indicators for checking the heat exchanger, cleaning the filter, draining the water container, and child lock activation. It also shows program duration, time drying duration, and delay start duration.
The tumble dryer is designed for user convenience with several features. The door is reversible, allowing for flexible installation and loading. Users can select programs and customize drying with options like "Dryness Level," which offers "Extra Dry," "Cupboard Dry," and "Iron Dry" settings to achieve the desired moisture content. The "Reverse Plus" option increases drum reversing frequency to reduce twisting and entanglement, improving drying uniformity and reducing creases, especially for large or long items. The "Long Anticrease" function extends the anti-crease phase at the end of the drying cycle by 60 minutes, further minimizing creases, and laundry can be removed during this phase. The "Time Dry" option allows users to set a specific drying duration from 10 minutes to 2 hours, useful for small loads or single items.
The appliance includes a "Child Lock" function to prevent children from interacting with the control panel during operation, locking all touch buttons except the on/off button. The "Adjustment of Remaining Laundry Moisture" feature allows users to fine-tune the default dryness level settings, with options for maximum dryness, more dry laundry, or standard dry laundry.
To start a program, users prepare and load the laundry, activate the appliance, select the desired program and options, and then press the Start/Pause button. For delayed starts, users can set a delay time from 1 to 20 hours. The appliance provides acoustic signals and display indicators to show program completion, filter cleaning reminders, and water container draining alerts. The "Stand-By Function" automatically deactivates the appliance after 5 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy.
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the tumble dryer. The manual emphasizes the importance of cleaning the lint filter before or after each use. The filter cleaning process involves opening the appliance door, pulling out the filter, removing lint by hand or with a vacuum cleaner, and reinserting it. The display will show a filter symbol when cleaning is required.
The water container needs to be emptied when its indicator comes on, typically at the end of a program. The water collected can be used as an alternative to distilled water for steam ironing, provided dirt residues are removed with a filter. For users with a draining kit, the water container indicator can be deactivated as the water is automatically drained.
The heat exchanger also requires periodic cleaning. The manual provides step-by-step instructions for accessing and cleaning the heat exchanger to maintain drying efficiency.
The humidity sensor, located on the inner side of the door area, should be cleaned regularly (at least 3 or 4 times or if drying performance drops) to ensure accurate moisture detection. A dish-washing sponge with vinegar or dish soap can be used for this purpose, avoiding abrasive materials or steel wool.
For general cleaning, the tumble dryer drum and drum lifters should be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and a standard neutral soap detergent, then dried. Abrasive materials or steel wool should not be used on the drum. The control panel and housing can be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents, avoiding furniture cleaning agents or corrosive substances. The airflow slots should be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff.
The manual also advises on preparing laundry by closing zips and fasteners, tying loose items, and removing objects from pockets to ensure proper air flow and even drying. It recommends shaking and loading clothes one by one to prevent tangling and improve drying efficiency.
