Frequently Asked Questions - DU 8133 GA0W BEKO

How do I clean the lint filter?

Open the door, pull the lint filter out from the door area, remove the lint by hand or a soft brush, rinse under running water if needed, dry completely, and reinsert. Clean after every cycle to maintain performance.

What should I do if the dryer does not start?

Check that the door is fully closed, the power cord is plugged in, the circuit breaker is not tripped, and the program is set correctly. Also ensure the water tank is not full and the filters are clean.

Can I install the dryer under a countertop?

Yes, the dryer is freestanding and can be placed under a countertop as long as there is adequate ventilation. Leave at least 2 cm clearance on sides and 10 cm at the back.

How do I empty the water tank?

Pull out the water tank usually located at the top or bottom front (depending on model), pour out the water, and reinsert. The machine will stop if the tank is full.

What does the 'Filter Cleaning' warning mean?

It indicates that the lint filter needs cleaning. Press the start/pause button after cleaning to reset the warning. If it persists, check the condenser filter as well.

Why is my laundry still wet after a cycle?

• Do not open the door when steam programs are running. Hot water may be expelled.
• Before putting laundry in a steam program, stains on it should be removed.
• You may only put laundry that is not dirty or stained but permeated with unpleasant odour in steam (odour removal) program.
• Do not use any dry cleaning sets or additional materials in a steam program or in any program.

1.1.1 Electrical safety

DANGER!

• Electrical safety instructions should be followed while electrical connection is made during the installation.
• The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by utility.
• Connect the dryer to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse at the value specified on the type label. Have the grounding installation performed by a qualified electrician. Our company shall not be liable for any damages that will arise when the dryer is used without grounding in accordance with the local regulations.
• The voltage and allowed fuse protection is stated on the type label plate.
• The voltage specified on the type label must be equal to your mains voltage.

1.1.2 Product safety

DANGER!

• Superheating of the clothes inside 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.

DANGER!

Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:

The following laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer due to 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.

The following laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer due to 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 lighters, matches, coins, metal parts, needles, etc. may damage the drum set or may lead to functional problems. Therefore, check all the laundry that you will load into your dryer.

DANGER!

• 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 may even ignite after drying ends.
• You must provide enough ventilation to prevent gases from devices operating with other types of fuels, including the naked flame, from accumulating in the room due to the backfire effect.

WARNING!

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

NOTE

- 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.

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.)
