• When you use the Tag On function, position your smart phone so that the NFC antenna on the back of your smart phone matches the position of the Tag On icon on the appliance. If you do not know the position of your NFC antenna, move your smart phone very slightly in a circular motion until the application verifies the connection.

• Because of the characteristics of NFC, if the transmission distance is too far, or if there is a metal sticker or a thick case on the phone, transmission will not be good. In some cases, NFC-equipped phones may be unable to transmit successfully.

Caring for Your Dryer

Caring for your Dryer is very Important

It’s not difficult to care for your dryer but it is important that you do care for it to get the best out of it.

Clean Filter

Clean filter after each use and check it before each use. It should also be cleaned if the ‘‘Clean Filter’’ light becomes illuminated and the buzzer sounds whilst the dryer is in operation. Cleaning or emptying the filter will reduce drying times and energy consumption and lengthen the dryer life.

1. Open the door.

2. Pull the filter out.

3. Clean the filter by using a vacuum cleaner or rinsing under the tap.

4. Replace the filter.

• Push the filter all the way down to avoid interference with the door.

5. Close the door.

Empty Water Container

Condensed water is collected in the water container.

Empty the water container after every use.

Not doing so will affect the drying performance. If the water container is full, the “Empty Water” lamp glows and the buzzer sounds while the dryer is operating. If this should occur, the water container needs to be emptied within the next hour.

1. Pull out the water container.

2. Empty water container in the sink.

3. Push it back into the dryer.

4. Press the Start/Pause button.

Ventilation Grill and Cool Air Inlet Grill

Vacuum the front ventilation grill 3-4 times a year to make sure there is no build up of lint or dirt that may cause improper air flow.

NOTE

• Warm air is exhausted through the ventilation grill.
• Adequate ventilation should be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from units burning other fuels, such as open fires.

Condensed Water Drain-out

Normally, condensed water is pumped up to the water container where water is collected until manually emptied. Water can also be drained out directly to a mains drain, especially when the dryer is stacked on top of a washing machine. With a connecting kit for the mains drain hose, simply change the water path and reroute to the drainage facility as be

1. Take connecting kit out.

2. Separate water container hose from the kit.

3. Connect drain hose to the kit.

Moisture Sensor?

The device senses the moisture level of the laundry during operation, which means it must be cleaned regularly to remove any build up of lime scale on the surface of the sensor. Wipe the sensors inside drum. (as illustrated)

Using Smart Diagnosis™

• Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call center. The transmission sounds similar to a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call center.
• Smart Diagnosis™ cannot be activated if the dryer does not power up. If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without Smart Diagnosis™. If you experience problems with your dryer, call the customer information center. Follow the call center agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:

1. Press the Power button to turn on the dryer. Do not press any other buttons or turn the cycle selector knob.

2. When instructed to do so by the call center, place the mouthpiece of your phone close to the "Smart Diagnosis™" icon and Power button.

3. Press and hold the “ (More)” button for three seconds, while holding the mouthpiece of your phone close to the "Smart Diagnosis™" icon and Power button.

4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. The display will count down the time.

• For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
• If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.

5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call center agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted for analysis at the call to customer information center.
