Frequently Asked Questions - DS 7434 RX0 BEKO

How often should I clean the lint filter?

Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle to maintain efficiency and prevent fire hazard. Simply pull out the filter, remove lint and rinse under water if needed.

My dryer stops before clothes are dry. What could be the cause?

Possible causes include: overloaded drum, clogged lint filter, full water tank (for condenser models), or selected programme too short. Check these before restarting.

How do I empty the water tank?

Pull out the water tank from the bottom front of the dryer, pour the water into a sink, and reinsert it. An indicator light will alert you when it is full.

What does error code E01 mean?

Error code E01 indicates a door lock issue. Ensure the door is fully closed and the lock engages. If persists, check for obstructions or contact service.

Can I install the dryer in a small room?

Yes, but ensure adequate ventilation. For condenser dryers, room temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C. Avoid placing near heat sources.

Is it safe to dry wool or delicate items?

Yes, use the Wool or Delicates programme with low heat. Always check garment labels and remove items as soon as cycle ends to avoid shrinkage.

How can I reduce wrinkles in my laundry?

Use the Anti-Crease function which periodically tumbles clothes after drying. Also, remove clothes promptly and fold or hang immediately.

How do I clean the condenser?

For condenser models, clean the condenser unit every 6 months. Open the lower flap, pull out the condenser, rinse with water, and let dry before reinserting.

Why is my dryer making loud noises?

Noises can be due to loose coins or buttons in the drum, overloading, or uneven floor. Check drum contents and ensure the dryer is level.

How long does a typical cotton cycle take?

A full load cotton cycle on the Cotton programme takes approximately 100-120 minutes, depending on moisture level and selected dryness.

1.1.2 Product safety

Superheating of the clothes inside of the dryer can occur if you cancel the programme or in the event of a power failure whilst the dryer is running, this concentration of heat can cause self-combustion and fire so always activate the ventilation programme to cool down or quickly remove all laundry from the dryer in order to hang them up and dissipate the heat.

Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:

Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer considering fire hazard.

• Unwashed laundry items
• Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, paraffin or paraffin removers must be washed in hot water with plenty of detergent before being dried in the dryer.

For this reason especially the items containing the above specified stains must be washed very well, to do this use adequate detergent and choose a high washing temperature.

Important instructions for safety and environment

Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer due to the fire hazard:

• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water resistant textiles, materials with rubber reinforcement and rubber foam pads.
• Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals. Items such as lighter, match, coins, metal parts, needle etc. may damage the drum set or may lead to functional problems. Therefore check all the laundry that you will load into your dryer. Never stop your dryer before the programme completes. If you must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay them out to dissipate the heat.

Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on their own and even may ignite after drying ends.

- You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gases exiting from devices operating with other types of fuels including the naked flame from accumulating in the room due to the back fire effect.

Underwear that contains metal reinforcements should not be dried in the dryer. Dryer may be damaged if metal reinforcements come loose and break off during drying.

Important instructions for safety and environment

Use softeners and similar products in accordance with the instructions of their manufacturers.

Always clean the lint filter before or after each loading. Never operate the dryer without the lint filter installed.

• Never attempt to repair the dryer by yourself. Do not perform any repair or replacement procedures on the product even if you know or have the ability to perform the required procedure unless it is clearly suggested in the operating instructions or the published service manual. Otherwise, you will be putting your life and others' lives in danger.
• There must not be a lockable, sliding or hinged door that may block the opening of the loading door in the place where your dryer is to be installed. • Install your dryer at places suitable for home use. (Bathroom, closed balcony, garage etc.)

Installation

3.3 Connecting to the drain

In products equipped with condenser unit, water accumulates in the water tank during the drying cycle. You should drain accumulated water after each drying cycle.

You can directly drain accumulated water through the water drain hose supplied with the product instead of periodically draining the water collected in the water tank.

Connecting the water drain hose

1-2 Pull the hose at the back of the dryer by hand to disconnect it from its connection point. Do not use any tools to remove the hose. 3 Connect one end of the drain hose supplied with the dryer to the connection point from which you removed the hose of the product in the previous step. 4 Connect the other end of the drain hose directly to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

	Hose connection should be made in a safe manner. Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge.
	Water drain hose should be attached to a height of maximum 80 cm.
	Make sure that the water drain hose is not stepped on and it is not folded between the drain and the machine.

3.4 Adjusting the feet

• To ensure that the dryer operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet.
• Turn the feet to the left or right until the dryer stands level and firmly.

Never unscrew the adjustable feet from their housings.

Installation

3.5 Electrical connection

4.4 Things to be done for energy saving

Following information will help you use the dryer in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

- Spin your laundry at the highest speed possible when washing them. Thus, the drying time is shortened and energy consumption is reduced.

- Sort out the laundry depending on their type and thickness. Dry the same type of laundry together. For example thin kitchen towels and tablecloths dry earlier than thick bathroom towels.

- Follow the instructions in the user manual for programme selection.

- Do not open the loading door of the machine during drying unless necessary. If you must open the loading door, do not keep it open for a long time.

- Do not add wet laundry while the dryer is in operation.

Preparation

• Clean the lint filter before or after each drying cycle. (See 6.1 Cleaning Lint Filter / Loading Door Inner Surface)
• Clean the filter drawer periodically when there is visible air collection on it or when the symbol lights up, if there is a filter drawer cleaning warning symbol « 📄» available. (See 6.4 Cleaning the filter drawer)
• Ventilate the room, where the dryer is located, well during drying.

4.5 Correct load capacity

Follow the instructions in the "Programme selection and consumption table". Do not load more than the capacity values stated in the table.

It is not recommended to load the dryer with laundry exceeding the level indicated in the figure. Drying performance will degrade when the machine is overloaded. Furthermore, dryer and the laundry can get damaged.

Adding laundry after the drying operation starts may cause the dried laundry inside the machine to mix with wet laundry and leave the laundry damp at the end of operation.

Adding or removing laundry during drying may be repeated as many times as you wish. But this operation continuously interrupts the drying operation, and thus increases program duration and energy consumption. So, it is recommended to add laundry before the program starts.

If a new program is selected by turning the program selection knob while the machine is in stand-by; the running program terminates and new program information is displayed on the screen.

WARNING: Do not touch the inner surface of the drum while adding or removing clothes during a continuing program. The drum surface is hot.

5.12 Cancelling the program

If you want to cancel the program and terminate the drying operation for any reason after the machine starts running, keep the On/Off/Cancel button pressed for 3 seconds.

WARNING: The inside of the machine shall be extremely hot when you cancel the program during machine operation, so run the ventilation program to allow it to cool down.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

The service life of the product extends and frequently experienced problems will be reduced if it is cleaned at regular intervals.

6.1 Cleaning Lint Filter / Loading Door Inner Surface

Lint and fibre released from the laundry to the air during the drying cycle are collected in the Lint Filter.

	Such fibre and lint are generally formed during wearing and washing.
	Always clean the lint filter and the inner surfaces of the loading door after each drying process.
	You can clean the lint filter housing with a vacuum cleaner.

To clean the lint filter:

• Open the loading door.
• Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and open the lint filter.
• Clean lint, fibre, and cotton thread by hand or with a soft piece of cloth.
• Close the lint filter and place it back into its housing.

- A layer can build up on the filter pores that can cause clogging of the filter after using the dryer for a while. Wash the lint filter with warm water to remove the layer that builds up on the lint filter surface. Dry the lint filter completely before reinstalling it.

- Clean the entire inner surface of the loading door and loading door gasket with a soft damp cloth.

Maintenance and cleaning

6.2 Cleaning the sensor

There are dampness sensors in the dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not. To clean the sensors:

• Open the loading door of the dryer.
• Allow the machine to cool down if it is still hot due to the drying process.
• Wipe the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar, and dry them.

	Clean metal surfaces of the sensors 4 times a year.
	Do not use metal tools when cleaning metal surfaces of the sensors.
	Never use solvents, cleaning agents or similar substances for cleaning due to the risk of fire and explosion!

6.3 Draining the water tank

Dampness of the laundry is removed and condensed during the drying process, and the water that arises accumulates in the water tank. Drain the water tank after each drying cycle.

	Condensed water is not drinkable!
	Never remove the water tank when the program is running!

If you forget to drain the water tank, the machine will stop during subsequent drying cycles when the water tank is full, and the Water Tank warning symbol will flash. If this is the case, drain the water tank and press the

Start / Pause button to resume the drying cycle.

To drain the water tank:

Pull the drawer and remove the water tank carefully.

Drain the water in the tank.

• If there is lint accumulation in the funnel of the water tank, clean it under running water.
• Place the water tank into its seat.

Maintenance and cleaning

If the direct water draining option is used, there is no need to empty the water tank.

6.4 Cleaning the filter drawer

Lint and fiber that could not be captured by the lint filter are blocked in the filter drawer behind the kick plate. The Filter Drawer Cleaning warning light will light up at most every 5 drying cycles as a reminder.

There is a two-level filter in the filter drawer. The first level is the filter drawer sponge, and the second level is the filter cloth.

To clean the filter drawer:

- Press the kick plate button to open the kick plate.

- Remove the filter drawer cover by turning it in the direction of the arrow.

- Pull out the filter drawer.

- Open the filter drawer by pressing the red button.

- Take out the filter drawer sponge.

- Clean lint, fiber, and cotton thread on the filter cloth by hand or with a soft piece of cloth. - When you notice a layer that may lead to clogging on the filter cloth, clean the layer by washing in warm water. Let the filter cloth dry thoroughly before installing the filter drawer back.

- Wash the filter drawer sponge by hand to remove the fiber and lint on the surface. After washing the sponge, squeeze it by hand and remove the excess water. Dry the sponge well before storing it.

Maintenance and cleaning

It is not necessary to clean the sponge if lint and fiber accumulation on it is not significant.

- Place the sponge back into its place.

- Close the filter drawer to lock the red button.

- Place the filter drawer back into its place, turn the filter drawer cover in the arrow direction, and close it securely.

- Close the kick plate cover.

Drying without the filter drawer sponge in place will damage the machine!

A dirty lint filter and filter drawer will cause longer drying periods and higher energy consumption.

6.5 Cleaning the evaporator

Clean the lint accumulated on the fins of the evaporator located behind the filter drawer with a vacuum cleaner.

You can also clean by hand provided that you wear protective gloves. Do not attempt to clean with bare hands. Evaporator fins can harm your hand.
