FAQs and Troubleshooting Guide
Safety reset
The dryer has a safety cut-out switch, which shuts down the power supply to the unit
if the temperature inside the unit is too high. Should this happen, proceed as follows:
• Unplug the dryer and let it cool down for 10 minutes.
• Reset the safety cut-out switch. It is located at the back panel of the unit (Fig. 11-A).
• Check and ensure that the filter is clean and that nothing is obstructing the air
intake and outlet grilles (see “Prevent overheating”, below).
• Plug in the dryer and restart it.
If the dryer still does not work properly, or the problem occurs repeatedly, please
contact our after sales support centre, or a qualified service technician.
Prevent overheating
• The most common reason for the dryer to overheat is a blocked lint filter (Fig. 12-A).
Check the filter and ensure nothing is blocking it – for example, a lightweight item
such as a handkerchief might have been sucked over the filter. Clean the filter after
each drying load. Cleaning instructions follow on the next page.
• Also ensure that the front vent flange (Fig. 12-B) and the ventilation grille at the
back of the unit (Fig. 11-B) are clean and free of obstructions. Use a cloth, soft
brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to clean the grilles.
• Other reasons for the dryer to overheat include poor ventilation in the laundry –
make sure you have a window or door open when you are using the clothes dryer.
