Environmental and Economical Tips
Energy consumption
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmental and Economical Tips
• The appliance performs best at a room temperature of 23 ℃.
• A high atmospheric temperature and a small room may both increase
drying time as well as energy consumption.
• Energy usage can be affected by the weight of the load. To make the
best use of your appliance, load the maximum amount of clothes for
the particular programme.
• Do not load soaking wet clothes into the appliance. It will cause an
increasing of drying time and energy consumption. Make sure that
the clothes are spun thoroughly before loading.
• If the clothes are not spun at a high speed during washing, energy
consumption and drying times will increase. Large bed sheets or quilt
covers may not dry evenly due to uneven airflow should they become
rolled up. They may require removal and reloading mid cycle to
ensure proper drying.
• Open the door and ensure the lint filter is clean. When the filter is full
with lint, drying times will be longer than usual.

Before Calling for Service
Symptoms
Appliance runs
and pauses by
itself after the
drying cycle
finishes.
Possible Cause & Solution
This is how the anti crease option works.
• Make sure that the anti crease option has been set. The
option is designed to prevent creases that are formed when
the clothes are not unloaded promptly after the drying
cycle. When the option is set, the appliance runs for 10
seconds and pauses for 5 minutes. The option is works for
up to 2 hours.
Performance
Symptoms
Possible Cause & Solution
Drying time is not
consistent.
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type
of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of
fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Greasy or dirty
spots are left on
clothes.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
• When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance,
use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later
loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the appliance.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not
removed during the washing process. Make sure that
clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to
the instructions for your washing machine and detergent.
Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to
washing.
42
Before Calling for Service
Symptoms
Clothes are
wrinkled.
Possible Cause & Solution
Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
• Over drying a load of clothes can lead to wrinkled clothes.
Try a shorter drying time.
Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after
cycle ends.
• Use the Anti Crease option.
Clothes are
shrinking.
Garment care instructions are not being followed.
• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow
fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink
when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink
when dried in the appliance. Use a low or no heat setting.
Lint is left on
clothes.
Lint filter has not been cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is
dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning
instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts
of lint, it may be necessary to clean the lint filter during the
cycle.
Clothes have not been sorted properly.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton
towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are
lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in pockets.
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying clothes.
Excess static in
clothes after
drying.
Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).
• Overdrying a load of clothes can cause a buildup of static
electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or
use Sensor Dry programmes.
Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try
using fabric softener, or use shorter Timed Drying time
settings.
43

Symptoms
Possible Cause & Solution
Very large load or very small load. Single large item such

have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a
Timed Drying programme for very small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can
sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The
outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the
inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item,
it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange
the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load
or a few damp spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry
programme has completed, empty the lint filter, then set a
Timed Drying programme to finish drying the item(s).
Clothes take too
long to dry.
Load is not properly sorted.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and
heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry
faster.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain
more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more
consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load
you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of
the dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is
dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be
necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the
cycle.
44
Before Calling for Service
Symptoms
Clothes take too
long to dry.
Possible Cause & Solution
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying
performance and efficiency.
Appliance is underloaded.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and
you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic
control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and
may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.
Odours
Symptoms
The appliance has
an odour.
Possible Cause & Solution
Are you using the appliance for the first time?
• The smell is caused by rubber material that is attached to
the appliance inside. This kind of smell is a rubber's own
smell and disappears automatically after using the
appliance several times.
45
Before Calling for Service
Symptoms
Possible Cause & Solution
The appliance has
an odour.
Do you smell an odour during use?
• When washing the clothes, use the detergent in accordance
with the manufacturers recommendations. If you use the
detergent excessively not according to the
recommendations, undissolved detergent may accumulate
on the clothes and cause an odour.
• You can smell odours from the clothes if the clothes were
left in the appliance after drying or in the washing machine
after washing. Unload the clothes promptly at the end of
the drying or washing cycle.
• Ensure you can smell same odour in the washing machine.
If so, clean the tub of the washing machine referring to the
washing machine user manual.
• Always take care of both lint filters clean. If any residues
were left in the lint filter after drying, it may cause odours.
And also dry the lint filter completely after cleaning.
• Deodorization and cleaning the condenser should be done
periodically by referring to the MAINTENANCE section.
