Is the remaining time extended while drying is in progress?
As the laundry touches the humidity sensor located between the dust filter and the tub, the dryer detects moisture and automatically adjusts the drying time.
As the laundry touches the humidity sensor located between the dust filter and the tub, the dryer detects moisture and automatically adjusts the drying time.
Air is circulated through the filter inside the dryer to control humidity. So, if the filter becomes clogged, drying may not work properly.
➔ If so, gently wipe the humidity sensor with a dry cloth.
If there is dust attached to the humidity sensor on the inside of the filter, remove it and gently wipe the outside of the humidity sensor with a dry cloth.
➔ Regularly clean the filter to ensure smooth ventilation.
It is advised to clean the inner filter after each use of the dryer, and the outside filter after every 10 uses.
After 10 uses, an alarm sounds and a filter cleaning light will illuminate, so cleaning frequency can be easily checked.
After cleaning the filter, dry it completely before putting it back in place.
The drying function may not work properly if moisture remains in the filter.
If you use the dryer without an external filter, foreign objects may enter the filter inlet and cause a malfunction.
If the external filter is removed, be careful not to load or unload laundry into the dryer.
➔ Gather loads of laundry of similar thickness and fill the dryer only halfway.
Thick laundry may not completely dry if the dryer's humidity sensor touches the thin laundry first and determines that drying is finished.
➔ Select a cycle according to the thickness and material of the laundry.
If you have a lot of thick laundry, turn the dial to [Normal] and select [Power] mode from the [Dry Level] menu.
Then, select the [Speed] mode from the [Drying Saving] menu.
Also, depending on the type of laundry, select the [Duvet] cycle for drying duvets and the [Towel] cycle for drying towels.
➔ Be careful not to stop the operation whilst drying is in progress.
Shutting down and restarting the dryer may lower the air temperature inside the tub.
The drying process may take up to an hour longer because it will take a while to raise the temperature again.
➔ It is normal for the dryer to take longer to warm up due to low outside/ambient temperatures.
In colder winter months, warming may take longer due to the lower temperature around the dryer and the laundry.
This will increase the drying time more than initially indicated.
It is similar to heat pump dryers, where it doesn't warm up quickly in the cold winter months even when the boiler is turned on.
