FAQs and Troubleshooting Guide (Cont.)
Safety reset
The dryer has a safety cut-out switch, which shuts down the power supply to the
unit if the temperature inside the unit is too high. Should you notice that this has
happened, proceed as follows:
• Switch off and unplug the dryer and let it cool down for 10 minutes.
• Check and ensure that the filter is clean and that nothing is obstructing the air inlet
and ventilation grilles (see "Prevent overheating", below).
• Plug in the dryer, switch it on and restart it.
If the dryer still does not work properly, or the problem occurs repeatedly, please
contact our after sales support centre, or a qualified service technician.
NOTE: If the dryer is not attended to when the cut-out switch activates, the machine
will restart automatically once the temperature has dropped to a safe level.
Prevent overheating
• The most common reason for the dryer to overheat is a blocked lint filter. Check the
filter and ensure nothing is blocking it – for example, a lightweight item such as a
handkerchief might have been sucked over the filter. Clean the filter after each drying
load. Cleaning instructions follow on the next page.
• Also ensure that the air intake filter and any ventilation openings are clean and
free of obstructions. Use a cloth, soft brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum
cleaner to clean the openings.
• Other reasons for the dryer to overheat include poor ventilation in the laundry –
make sure you have a window or door open when you are using the clothes dryer.
