Frequently Asked Questions - PCD 7 Electro PROLINE

The PROLINE PCD 7 tumble dryer does not start. What should I do?

Check that the device is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Also make sure the door is properly closed.

The tumble dryer does not heat up. What could be the causes?

This may be due to a clogged lint filter or a full water tank. Clean the filter and empty the tank. If the problem persists, it may be an issue with the heating element.

Why is my PROLINE PCD 7 tumble dryer making noise?

Noises can be caused by objects stuck in the drum or worn parts. Check the drum for foreign objects and listen to identify the source of the noise.

How do I clean the lint filter?

Open the lint filter cover, remove the filter and remove accumulated lint using a soft brush or by hand. Rinse the filter with lukewarm water and let it dry completely before putting it back in place.

The drying cycle takes too long. What should I do?

Make sure the lint filter and exhaust hose are not clogged. Also check that the load does not exceed the recommended capacity of the tumble dryer.

The water indicator light is on, what does this mean?

The water indicator light means the condensation tank is full. Empty the tank so the tumble dryer can continue to operate.

Can I use dryer sheets in the PROLINE PCD 7?

It is recommended not to use dryer sheets as they can clog the lint filter and affect the device's performance.

How do I adjust the drying level?

Use the program selection button to choose the desired drying level. Options may include 'Ready to wear', 'Ready to iron', or 'Delicate drying'.

My tumble dryer emits an unusual smell. What should I do?

A smell can be caused by a dirty lint filter or excess moisture. Clean the filter and ensure the tumble dryer is well ventilated. If the smell persists, contact a technician.

How can I contact customer service for repairs?

Please consult the user manual for customer service contact details or visit our website for more information on repairs and support.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Before connecting your dryer to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. A different voltage could damage the appliance.

The plug is the only way to unplug the appliance and should therefore be accessible at all times. To turn off main power to the appliance, turn it off and then detach the plug from the outlet.

The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.

INSTALLATION

• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the appliance is positioned close to your washing machine.

• The appliance must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• The appliance should not be located near a gas hob, cooker, heater or grill, as flames from the burners could damage it.

• When installing the appliance, make sure that the power cord is not trapped or twisted.

• The appliance is best operated between 5^ C and 35^ C . Outside this temperature range, performances may be affected.

• For better drying performance, keep the rear of the appliance away from the wall.

• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.

• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.

Leveling the appliance

The dryer must be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation. If the dryer is not properly level, adjust the levelling feet as necessary.

If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely under the appliance.

Installing the condensate hose (for direct drainage of condensed water)

To avoid having to empty the condenser water tank every time you use the tumble dryer, you can use the supplied condensate hose for removing the water from the condenser directly into the drain.

1. Remove the inner hose from the hose connector at the rear of the dryer.

2.Insert one end of the supplied condensate hose onto the hose connector.

1. Place and secure the other end of the condensate hose at a nearby sink by using the U-fitting.

Be sure to follow all local codes and regulations in running the condensate to a suitable drain.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Danger:

To make the electrical connection to your appliance:

• The installation to the mains supply must conform to the local standards and regulations.
• Do not use an extension cord, an adapter or the like.
• The plug must be easily accessible after installing the appliance.
• If there is any doubt about the condition of your connection, consult a qualified electrician.

Warning! The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the electrical connection precautions above.
