Frequently Asked Questions - DH8544CSFRX BEKO

How do I install the Beko DH8544CSFRX tumble dryer?

Place the dryer on a solid, level floor. Leave at least 2.5 cm of clearance on all sides for ventilation. Connect the drain hose to a sink or floor drain, or use the water tank. Plug into a grounded outlet.

How often should I clean the lint filter?

Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle to maintain efficiency and prevent fire hazards. Use a damp cloth to remove lint, then dry thoroughly before replacing.

What does the 'Condenser Cleaning' warning mean?

This indicator alerts you to clean the condenser unit. Remove the condenser cover, rinse the condenser with water, and dry it before reinserting. This improves drying performance.

Can I install the dryer on top of a washing machine?

Yes, you can use a stacking kit (sold separately) to mount the dryer on top of a compatible Beko washing machine. Ensure the surface is flat and secure.

Why is the drying cycle taking too long?

Possible causes: overloaded drum, clogged lint filter or condenser, low room temperature, or selected program with low heat. Reduce load size and clean filters.

How do I empty the water tank?

Pull out the water tank located behind the door. Empty it into a sink. The tank holds about 4.5 L. Reinsert firmly until it clicks.

What does the child lock feature do?

The child lock prevents accidental button presses during operation. To activate, press and hold the Child Lock button (key symbol) for 3 seconds. Repeat to deactivate.

How do I use the 'Steam Refresh' program?

Select the Steam Refresh program for clothes that are not dirty but need freshening. Do not overload; place dry garments loosely. The program uses steam to reduce wrinkles and odors.

What is the 'Drum Clean' function?

Run the Drum Clean program every 30 cycles to remove detergent residue and bacteria. Use a damp cloth to wipe the drum after the cycle. This maintains hygiene.

How do I reset the dryer if it stops mid-cycle?

Turn the program dial to 'Off' and wait 1 minute. Check for error codes on the display (e.g., E01, E02). Consult the manual for troubleshooting. Restart the desired program.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

6.1 Loading Door Inner Surface

The hair and fibres that are separated from the laundry during drying process is collected by the Fibre Filter.

NOTE

• Fibres are formed during wearing and washing clothes.
• You can clean the filter slot with a vacuum cleaner.

WARNING!

- After each drying cycle, clean the fibre filter and the inner surface of the loading door.

To clean the fibre filter:

• Open the loading door.
• Hold the first part (inner filter) of the two-part fibre filter and remove it by pulling it upwards.
• Collect the hair, fibres, and cotton balls with your hand or with a soft cloth.
• Remove the second part (outer filter) by pulling it upwards.

NOTE

• Ensure that hair, fibre, and cotton balls do not fall into the slot where the filters are installed.
• Open both filters (top and bottom filters) and remove the lint with your hand, or use the cleaning brush at the air routing cover. If necessary, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the filters.

- Clean both filters under running water in the reverse direction of fibre accumulation, or with a soft brush. Dry the filter before placing it back.

- Insert the fibre filters one on top of the other and place them back in their place.

- Clean the front door interior surface and its gaskets with a soft damp cloth or with the brush on the air routing cover.

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.

NOTE

• Clean the metal surfaces of the sensors 4 times a year.
• Do not use metal tools when cleaning the metal surfaces of the sensors.

WARNING!

• 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 from 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.

WARNING!

• 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:

1. Remove the water tank from the drawer or container carefully.
2. 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.

NOTE

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

6.4 Cleaning the Condenser

Small amount of lint may pass through the lint filter and be collected on the metal surface of the condenser.

Condenser metal surface needs to be cleaned regularly.

If the evaporator icon is flashing on the display, please inspect the metal surface of the condenser. If it is dirty, clean it. This part should be checked at least once every 6 months.

- Open the toe board by pressing on it.

• To open the air routing door, move the release latch.

- Pull the brush to the left side and remove it. You can use the cleaning brush for removing collected fluff on the metal surface of the condenser.

NOTE

- Brush is inside the printing materials bag. You can place it in its housing on the air routing cover after the first usage.

- Collected fluff on condenser surface should be removed by a damp cloth or rubbing the brush placed on the air routing cover up and down on the condenser.

- Please do not clean condenser fins in a left-right direction to avoid damage.

- You can also use a vacuum cleaner with a brush for cleaning. Condenser cleaning is not recommended with a brushless vacuum cleaner.

- Insert the brush into its slot pushing to the right, after cleaning the condenser, front cover, and lint filter.

• After the cleaning process is completed, place the air router door back in its place, move the latches to close it, and close the toe board.

WARNING!

- You can clean by hand, provided you wear protective gloves. Do not try to clean with bare hands. Condenser fins may damage your hands. Cleaning with left-to-right movements may damage the condenser fins. This may lead to drying issues.

WARNING!

- It is normal to see some water on the plastic surface in front of the condenser when you open the air routing cover.
