Frequently Asked Questions - 3SB978B BALAY

How to clean the lint filter?

Open the door and pull the lint filter upward. Remove lint by hand or with a soft brush. Rinse under running water if necessary. Dry thoroughly before reinserting. Clean after every drying cycle for optimal performance.

How often should I empty the water tank?

Empty the water tank after each drying cycle. If the tank is full, the dryer will stop and the indicator will light up. Pull out the tank, pour water into a sink, and reinsert.

What does the 'Child Lock' do and how to activate it?

The child lock prevents accidental button presses during operation. To activate, press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds until the lock symbol appears on the display. Repeat to deactivate.

Why is the drying time longer than expected?

Possible causes: overloading the dryer, wet clothes not spun enough, clogged lint filter, or high room humidity. Ensure proper load size and spin clothes thoroughly before drying.

What type of clothes can I dry in this dryer?

Most machine-washable fabrics: cotton, synthetics, mixed fabrics, delicates (check care labels). Do not dry items with rubber backing, foam, or items that are labeled 'air dry only'.

Common codes: E01 (water tank full), E02 (lint filter clogged), E04 (motor overload). Refer to the user manual for a full list. Reset by turning the dryer off and on.

Can I install the dryer under a counter?

Yes, this model is designed for built-in installation. Ensure proper ventilation (min. 10 cm gap at back) and remove the worktop if necessary. Use the installation kit if provided.

What is the energy consumption per cycle?

Approximately 4.5 kWh for a full cotton load at cupboard dry level. Actual consumption depends on program, load, and moisture content.
