Frequently Asked Questions - ASB308BC ASPES

How do I clean the lint filters?

Open the loading door, pull up the lint filters, open the outer and inner filters, clean them by hand or with a soft cloth. If a layer forms, wash with warm water and dry thoroughly before reinserting. Clean after every use.

Pull the drawer cover, carefully remove the tank, empty the water, and clean any lint from the discharge cap. Refit the tank. Empty after every use. The water is not suitable for drinking.

What should I do if the drying process takes too long?

Possible causes: clogged lint filter (wash with warm water), clogged heat exchanger (clean it), closed ventilation grills (open doors/windows), limescale on humidity sensor (clean with vinegar), overloaded dryer, or low spin speed. Check these items.

⚠️ ATTENTION: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

⚠️ ATTENTION: Make sure that pets do not enter the dryer. Check the inside of the dryer before using it.

⚠️ ATTENTION: Superheating of 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 so always activate the Refresh programme to cool down or quickly remove all laundry from the dryer in order to hang them up and dissipate the heat.

- Use the dryer only for household drying and to dry fabrics with a label that indicates they are suitable

for drying. All other uses are out of the scope of intended use and are prohibited.

• The warranty will be void in case of any commercial use.
• This appliance is designed to be used inside domestic residences only, and should be placed on a straight and stable surface.
• Do not lean against or sit on the door of the dryer. The dryer may tip over.
• To maintain a temperature that will not harm the laundry (e.g. to prevent the laundry from catching fire), a cooling process starts after the heating process. After this, the programme ends. At the end of the programme, always remove the laundry promptly.

⚠️ ATTENTION: Never use the dryer without a lint filter or with a damaged lint filter.

• Lint filters must be cleaned after each use as indicated in Cleaning the Lint Filter.
• Lint filters must be dried after wet cleaning. Wet filters might cause malfunction during the drying process.
• Lint accumulation must not to be allowed around the tumble dryer (not applicable for appliances intended to be vented to the exterior of the building)

IMPORTANT: The clearance between the dryer and the floor should not be reduced with objects such as carpets, wood or panel, otherwise, sufficient air intake cannot be ensured for the machine.

- Do not install the dryer in rooms where there is risk of freezing. Freezing temperatures negatively affect the dryers performance. Condensed water that freezes in the pump and hose may cause damage.

1.6. Installing On Top Of a Washing Machine

⚠️ ATTENTION: A washing machine cannot be placed on the dryer. Pay attention to the warnings below when installing the dryer on a washing machine.

⚠️ ATTENTION: The dryer can only be placed on washing machines that have a same capacity and above.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1. Connection to Water Outlet (with optional drain hose)

In products with a heat pump unit, water accumulates in the water tank during the drying process. You must empty the accumulated water after each drying process. Instead of periodically emptying the water tank, you can also use the water drain hose provided with the product to directly drain the water outside.

2.1.1. Connecting the Water Discharge Hose

1. Pull and take out the end of the hose at the back of the dryer. Do not use any tools to take out the hose.
2. Fit one end of the water discharge hose, which is provided with the product, to the slot from which you have removed the hose.
3. Fix the other end of the water discharge hose directly to the water outlet or sink.

! ATTENTION: The hose must be connected in a manner that it cannot be displaced. If the hose comes out during water discharge, there might be flooding in your house.
IMPORTANT: The water discharge house must be installed at a height of 80 cm maximum.
IMPORTANT: The water discharge hose must not be bent between the outlet and the product, folded or stepped over.

2.2. Adjusting the Feet

• For the dryer to work with less noise and vibration, it must be stable and balanced on its feet. Adjust the feed to ensure that the product is balanced.
• Rotate the feet to the right and to the left until the dryer is even and stable.

IMPORTANT: Never remove the adjustable feet.

2.3. Electrical Connection

⚠️ ATTENTION: There is risk of fire and electric shock.

• Your dryer is set to 220-240 V and 50 Hz.
• The mains cable of the dryer is equipped with a special plug. This plug must be connected to an earthed socket protected by a fuse of 16 Amperes as indicated on the type plate. The fuse current rating of the power line where the outlet is connected must also be 16 amperes. Consult a qualified electrician if you do not have such an outlet or fuse.

- Our company cannot be held responsible for damages resulting from usage without earthing.

IMPORTANT: Operating your machine at low voltage values will shorten the service life and decrease the performance of your machine.

2.4. Under Counter Installation

• Leave at least 3 cm of space between the side and rear walls of the product and the underside of the worktop when installing your product under a counter.
• Assembly / disassembly under the counter if necessary must be done by authorized service.

No drying	Do not dry-clean	At any temperature	At high temperatures
At medium temperatures At low temperatures Heatless		Hang to dry
Spread to dry Hang wet to dry Spread in shadow to dry Suitable for dry cleaning

Do not dry thin, multi-layer or thick-layer fabrics together as they dry at different levels. For this reason, dry clothes together that have the same structure and fabric type. This way, you can get an even drying result. If you think that the laundry is still wet, you can select a time programme for additional drying.

12.2. Energy Efficiency

• You should operate the dryer to full capacity, but make sure that it is not overloaded.
• When the laundry is being washed, the spin speed should be at the highest level possible. This will shorten the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
  • Make sure that the same kinds of laundry are dried together.
• Please follow the recommendations in the user manual for programme selection.
• For air circulation, leave an appropriate clearance on the front and back sides of the dryer. Do not cover the grills on the front side of the machine.
• Unless necessary, do not open the door of the machine when drying. If you have to open it, do not keep it open for a long time.
• Do not add new (wet) laundry during the drying process.
• Hairs and lint that detach from the laundry and merge in the air are collected by the "Lint Filters". Please make sure that the filters are cleaned before and after each use.
• For models with a heat pump, make sure that the heat exchanger is cleaned at least once a month or after each 30 uses.
• During the drying process, the environment where the dryer is installed must be well ventilated.
