Frequently Asked Questions - KDM2739 Kunft

How do I clean the lint filter?

Open the door and pull out the lint filter located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove lint by hand or with a soft brush, rinse under water if necessary, and dry thoroughly before reinserting. Clean after every cycle to maintain efficiency.

What should I do if the dryer doesn't start?

Check that the door is fully closed and the child lock is not engaged. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Also verify that the delay start function is not set. If the problem persists, consult the manual.

Can I dry all types of fabrics?

No. Always check the care label on garments. Items labeled 'tumble dry low' or 'tumble dry' are safe. Do not dry items with a 'do not tumble dry' symbol, such as wool, silk, or items with foam padding.

How do I use the delay start function?

Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the desired delay in hours (up to 24 hours). Then press Start/Pause. The dryer will begin the cycle after the delay period.

Why is my laundry still damp after drying?

This could be due to overloading the dryer, using an incorrect program for the fabric type, or a clogged lint filter. Also ensure the drying level setting is appropriate (e.g., 'Extra Dry' instead of 'Iron Dry').

How often should I clean the condenser (if applicable)?

For vented models, there is no condenser to clean. For condenser dryers, clean the condenser unit every 3-6 months or when the indicator lights up. Refer to the manual for specific instructions.

What does the 'anti-crease' feature do?

The anti-crease function periodically rotates the drum after the drying cycle ends to prevent wrinkles from setting in. It lasts up to 2 hours unless you remove the laundry.

How do I reset the dryer?

To reset, unplug the dryer for 1 minute, then plug it back in. This clears temporary errors. If the issue continues, contact customer support.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The maximum load is 7 kg for cotton programs. For synthetics and delicates, reduce the load to about 3.5 kg to prevent damage and ensure efficient drying.

Can I install the dryer in a cold room?

Yes, but performance may be affected. The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C. In very cold rooms, drying times will be longer. Ensure proper ventilation.

• The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliance burning other fuels, including open fires.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures they will not be damaged.

• WARNING: never turn off a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, and if you do so for whatever reason, quickly remove and spread out all items so that the heat is dissipated.
• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances which burn gas or other fuels.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge facing the tumble dryer, in such a way that the tumble dryer door cannot be fully opened.
• Items containing oil can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to sources of heat such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing items containing oil can prevent heat from escaping and pose a fire hazard.
• If fabrics that contain vegetable/cooking oil or hair care products must be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk.
• The appliance should not be overturned during normal use or maintenance.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

2.2. Using the Product

Note before use

The first step: Power source and earthing.

The dryer employs alternating current with the rated voltage and frequency. When the voltage fluctuates between 6% of the rated voltage, the dryer can work normally. It is recommended a special power socket be placed by the dryer for convenience and safety. The method for connecting the socket is depicted in the figure below.

For your safety, please make improvements as soon as possible according to the rules and suggestions mentioned above.

Earthing

Notes:

The socket and the earth wire must be installed by an electrician to prevent incorrect installation or use of the socket and to guarantee the safe use of electricity. The power wire for the dryer employs a Y connection. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in

kunft.

order to avoid a hazard. The earth wire must not be connected to the neutral wire or the cabinet will be charged, which poses an electric shock hazard.

Step 2: Precautions

Install or store the dryer where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to water or the elements, which could cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.	Keep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. An obstructed port may reduce airflow.
Thoroughly spin the laundry in the washing machine. High spin speed can reduce the drying time and reduce energy consumption.	Make sure combustible spray cans are not close to the dryer when it is in operation. If the can is leaking, do not bring into contact with or place it on the appliance, nor should you start/pause the appliance.
Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned, washed or soaked in or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.)	Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

KDM2739

EN

Do not allow children on or in the appliance. The close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is in use in their vicinity.	Please do not use the machine when your feet and/or hands are wet.
Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.	The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances which burn gas or other fuels.
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, raincoat plastic bags or pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.	The door must only be opened after the drying programme is over. Do not open the door before the programme finishes to avoid scalding yourself with hot steam or on the drying machine itself.

This product is a type I electronic product. Accordingly, please note the following safety issues:

1. By rule, the power supply must be earthed and not in contact with public infrastructure such as gas or water pipes etc. Ensure these different networks are identified and that they are non in contact with each other at any point.
2. Please use a special socket in accordance with the National Standard and with a 10A current rating.

For your safety, please make improvements as soon as possible according to the rules and suggestions mentioned above.
