Frequently Asked Questions - DHT73LES SMEG

How do I install the Smeg DHT73LES tumble dryer over a washing machine?

A fixing device is required and must be installed by an authorized service agent. The total weight of both machines (fully loaded) should not exceed 180 kg. Ensure the floor is solid and level. Check the compatibility table in the manual for your washing machine depth.

How do I clean the lint filter?

Open the loading door, pull the lint filter upward, open it, remove lint by hand or soft cloth, close and reinsert. After several cycles, wash the filter with warm water and dry thoroughly before reinserting. Clean after each drying cycle.

What should I do if the water tank warning symbol lights up?

The water tank is full. Pull out the drawer, remove the water tank carefully, drain the water, and reinsert. If the dryer pauses, press Start/Pause after draining. Alternatively, connect the drain hose for direct water drainage.

Can I use the dryer for wool garments?

Yes, use the WoolProtect program for woolen garments that are machine-washable. The cycle is approved by The Woolmark Company. Always check garment labels and remove clothes immediately after the program ends.

Why does the drying process take longer than expected?

Possible causes: clogged lint filter (wash with warm water), dirty filter drawer (clean sponge and cloth), blocked ventilation grids, insufficient room ventilation, lime on sensors (clean with vinegar), overloading, or low spin speed beforehand. Check each issue.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds until the symbol appears on the display. All buttons except On/Off/Cancel and Child Lock are deactivated. To deactivate, press and hold again for 3 seconds.

Can I add laundry after the program has started?

How do I clean the filter drawer?

Press the kick plate button to open the kick plate. Turn the filter drawer cover, pull out the drawer, open by pressing the red button, remove the sponge, clean lint from the filter cloth, wash the sponge in warm water, dry, reassemble. Clean every 3 cycles or when the warning appears.

What does the 'Anti-creasing' function do?

It rotates the laundry every 240 seconds for a set duration (30, 60, or 120 minutes) after the program ends to prevent creasing. Activate by pressing the Anti-creasing button before starting. The symbol illuminates at the end.

Before calling the nearest Authorized Service for the installation of the dryer, ensure that the electrical installation and water drain are appropriate, referring to the user's manual (see 3.3 Connecting to the drain and 3.5 Electrical connection). If they are not suitable, contact a qualified electrician and technician to make necessary arrangements.

Preparation of the dryer's location as well as the electrical and waste water installations is under the customer's responsibility.

Prior to installation, visually check if the dryer has any defects. If the dryer is damaged, do not have it installed. Damaged products cause risks for your safety.

Let your dryer wait for 12 hours before starting to use it.

3.1 Appropriate installation location

Install the dryer on a stable and level surface.

The dryer is heavy. Do not move it by yourself.

• Operate your dryer in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment.
• The gap between the dryer and the surface should not be reduced by materials such as carpet, wood, and tape.
• Do not cover the ventilation grills of the dryer.
• 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.
• Once the dryer is installed, it should stay in the same place where its connections have been made. When installing the dryer, make sure that its rear wall does not touch anything (tap, socket, etc.).
• Place the dryer at least 1 cm away from the edges of other furniture.
• Your dryer can be operated at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C. If the operating conditions fall outside of this range, operation of the dryer will be adversely affected and it can get damaged.

• Pull the nylon towards yourself and remove the transportation safety assembly.

Check that no part of the transportation safety assembly remains inside the drum.

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 hose at the behind of the dryer by hand in order to disconnect it from where it is connected. 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 where you removed the hose of the product in previous step. 4 Connect the other end of the drain hose directly to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

Installation

	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

• In order 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 left or right until the dryer stands level and firmly.

Never unscrew the adjustable feet from their housings.

3.5 Electrical connection

	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, fiber, and cotton raveling by hand or with a soft piece of cloth.
• Close the lint filter and place it back into its housing.
