Before you start
Initial setup
• When you turn on your dryer for the first time, the screen shows the initial setup process. Follow the
on-screen instructions to complete it.
• If you complete the initial setup and operate a cycle for more than a minute, the initial setup will not
appear again.
• The initial setup includes language selection and a brief tutorial.
• When tapping a button, tap exactly over the icon.
• Operating the washing machine and dryer at the same time may result in a loss of power depending on
where they are installed and your electrical power status.
Drying guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
• Wash and dry dark-colored items separately from light-colored items.
• Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.
• Avoid drying unwashed items.
• Do not dry wet items that have not been fully spin-dried after washing. This could cause an odor inside
the dryer or cause the dryer to malfunction.
• Using a laundry net is recommended for baby socks and other small, light items.
STEP 2 Empty pockets and turn them inside out
• Turn dark-colored clothes inside out before drying them. This will prevent fabric damage due to friction
during the drying process and protect internal parts of the dryer from discoloration and damage.
• Turn the items with buttons or embroideries inside out before drying them.
CAUTION
• Empty the pockets. Metallic objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other
laundry items as well as the drum.
• Remove any metallic objects attached to items, pull up zippers, and latch hooks before drying. Metallic
objects attached to items may damage other items as well as the drum.
STEP 3 Check the lint filter
Ensure that the lint filter is installed correctly before putting items in the dryer. The dryer does not work
without the lint filter.
• Always clean the lint filter before drying. For more information on filter cleaning, see the “ Lint filter”
section on page 44

English 25
STEP 4 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the dryer. Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and
wrinkling.
• Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.
• For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer. Tangled items may degrade the
drying efficiency or cause the door to open.
CAUTION
Add or remove items into or from the dryer with the lint filter installed. If the filter is not in place, small
items can fall into the filter slot and cause the dryer to malfunction.
STEP 5 After finishing the drying
• Empty the water tank to prevent leaks. For more information on emptying the water tank, see the
“Emptying the water tank” section on page 41.
• Keep the dryer door and the heat exchanger cover open after finishing the drying to keep the inside of
the dryer more hygienic.

NOTE
• To clean the filters thoroughly, clean the filters with
the vacuum cleaner, applying the soft brush.
• Lint collected in the filters may contain microplastic
particles, depending on the type of laundry cleaned.
Therefore, the lint from the filters should normally
not be washed through the drain in order to avoid
spreading microplastics in the used water system. A
lot of lint that is not easily visible can remain trapped
in the filter mesh even after using a vacuum cleaner,
and it can degrade drying performance. In this case,
rinse the filter under water to remove any remaining
lint in order to maintain drying performance.
Afterwards, the filter needs to be dried completely.
5. Put the inner filter into the outer filter, and then
reinsert the lint filter into the original position.
CAUTION
• Clean the lint filter after each load. Otherwise, the drying performance may decrease.
• If the filter surface is wet, allow it to completely dry before use.
- Inserting the filter while it is wet can cause mold and/or odor to form and/or result in less drying.
• When cleaning or removing the lint filter, do not shake or tap on the filter. Doing so can damage the
filter.
• Opening the outer and inner filters carelessly and with excessive force can damage the filters.

Heat exchanger
When it is time to clean the heat exchanger, the dryer will alert you by displaying the “ Clean heat
exchanger & tap “ or “ Clean heat exchanger optional filter & tap “ message.
A dirty heat exchanger will hinder the product’s performance and should be cleaned regularly.
Clean the heat exchanger once a month with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Do not touch the heat
exchanger with bare hands as it may cause injury.
NOTE
• Water droplets can form around the heat exchanger due to condensation caused by a temperature
difference. This is normal and is not a sign of a leak.
• If you are not planning on using the dryer for a long period of time, open the heat exchanger cover and
ventilate.
1. Gently press the top part of the outer cover (A) to
open.
2. Unlock the inner cover fixers (B), and then pull the
inner cover to remove.

3. Clean the dust on the heat exchanger using the
provided brush.
- After cleaning with the brush, wipe off the
remaining dust using a smooth, damp cloth.
CAUTION
• To avoid physical injury and burns, do not touch or
clean the heat exchanger with bare hands and steel
tools.
• When cleaning the heat exchanger, be careful not to
damage the fins.
NOTE
If the heat exchanger is completely dry and therefore
hard to clean, spray some water on the heat exchanger
and clean using a brush.
4. Clean the inner cover with a smooth, damp cloth.
- There may be moisture and/or foreign substances
around the inner cover.
5. Reinsert the inner cover to its original position, and
then lock the fixers.
6. Close the heat exchanger’s outer cover.

NOTE
• After cleaning the heat exchanger, tap to dismiss the notification message. The message remains on
until you dismiss it.
• If the alarm continues after you have dismissed it, unplug and then plug in the power cord or remove
and reinsert the heat exchanger's inner cover.
Micro soft filter (Optional Filter)
When it is time to clean the micro soft filter (Optional Filter), the dryer will alert you by displaying the
“ Clean micro soft filter (Optional Filter) ” message. A dirty micro soft filter (Optional Filter) will hinder the
product’s performance and should be cleaned regularly.
1. Open the heat exchanger's outer cover, and
then remove the inner cover. (Refer to the “ Heat
exchanger” section on page 46.)
2. Remove the micro soft filter (Optional Filter) from
the inner cover.
3. Clean the dust on the micro soft filter (Optional
Filter) with the provided brush, and then wash the
filter in running water.
NOTE
• To clean the filters thoroughly, clean the filters with
the vacuum cleaner, applying the soft brush.
• Lint collected in the filters may contain microplastic
particles, depending on the type of laundry cleaned.
Therefore, the lint from the filters should normally
not be washed through the drain in order to avoid

Troubleshooting
Checkpoints
If you encounter a problem with the dryer, first check the table below and try the suggestions.
Problem Action
Dryer does not start.
• Make sure the dryer is plugged in.
• Make sure the door is properly closed.
• Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• If you opened the door during a cycle, tap and hold again.
• Clean the filter.
• Make sure Child Lock is not activated.
The dryer does not warm
up.
• Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• Check the lint filter and the heat exchanger. Clean them if necessary.
• The dryer may be in the cooling down process of the cycle.
Items are not dried.
Check all of the above. Additionally:
• Do not overload the dryer. If the dryer is overloaded, it could take longer
for items to dry.
• Dry heavy fabrics separately from light fabrics.
• The item(s) are too small and may not getting enough spinning inside
the drum.
• Clean the filter.
• Clean the heat exchanger.
• If the “ Clean heat exchanger & tap “ or “ Clean heat exchanger
optional filter & tap “ message appears on the display, refer to the
“Heat exchanger” section on page 46 and clean the heat exchanger.
• If a drain hose is connected, make sure water is draining properly.
The dryer is too loud.
• Look for coins, loose buttons, nails, and other objects and remove them
immediately.
• Check the lint filter. Remove any items stuck inside the lint filter.
• Make sure the dryer is level and standing firmly on the floor.
• The dryer may hum due to air moving through the drum and fan. This is
normal.
Items are not dried evenly.
• Seams, pockets, and other parts of clothing are harder to dry than
others. This is normal.
• Sort heavy and light items separately.
Untitled-1 50Untitled-1 50 2024-12-31 5:57:142024-12-31 5:57:14
English 51
Problem Action
There is a smell coming
from the dryer.
• The smell of paint, varnish, cleaning agents, and other household items
could have circulated in the air and entered the dryer. If you notice such
a smell, ventilate completely before using the dryer.
• If drying in an enclosed area, the dryer could cause the ambient
temperature to rise. Accordingly, make sure to open a window and
ventilate the area.
• Do not attempt to dry wet items after leaving them in the washing
machine or dryer for a long time.
• After using the dryer, leave the door open to ventilate the interior.
The dryer turns off before
the items are dry.
• The load is too small. Throw in few additional items like towels and try
drying again.
The clothes have lint on
them.
• Always make sure the lint filter is clean before putting items into the
dryer. When drying items that generate a large amount of lint, you may
need to clean the lint filter in the middle of a cycle.
• Some fabrics (such as white towels) causes more lint and should be
dried separately from fabrics that lint attaches easily (such as black
linen pants).
• Check the inside of the pockets to make sure they are empty before
drying.
The ambient temperature
around the dryer rises or
there is a damp, soggy
smell.
• Heat pump dryers circulate ambient air inside and outside the dryer
during the drying process to cool the system. Using the dryer in a poorly
ventilated area may, depending on the operating environment, raise the
ambient humidity level and/or cause a damp, soggy smell to develop.
Ensure proper ventilation when using the dryer.
Water is not draining.
• Check the draining hose for twists and kinks.
Straighten out the hose if it is twisted or kinked and securely connect it
to the drain on the floor.
• Check to see if the draining hose is frozen.
If the hose is frozen, submerge it in warm water to allow the water inside
the hose to melt and drain out. Reconnect the hose and check for proper
draining.
• If the inside of the dryer is frozen, remove the water tank from the dryer
and add about 400 ml of warm water to the inner space where the
water tank was. After about an hour, run the dryer to make sure it drains
normally.
• If the problem persists, please contact the service center.
