How to start a Candy dryer for the first time

After purchasing your new "home helper," don't rush to turn it on. First, you need to understand how to start your Candy dryer for the first time and the manufacturer's recommendations for installation and placement. There are nuances to everything.

We'll explain how to properly install your dryer and how to safely operate it to avoid damaging your clothes or the appliance itself. We'll also explore the software inside Candy machines and explain how to care for your "home helper."

We will install a drying machine

Installation instructions for the dryer are provided in the equipment manual. Therefore, the first step is to carefully read the user manual. It answers all the questions new Candy dryer owners may have.

Candy tumble dryers do not require a connection to a sewer system; the device is equipped with a container for collecting condensate.

Therefore, there will be no connection to utilities. Unlike a washing machine, the dryer doesn't necessarily need to be placed directly next to the sewer pipe. The water evaporated from the laundry will be collected in a special container inside the appliance.

If desired, drainage can be provided. Candy dryers come with a drainage hose. One end of the hose connects to the machine body, and the other to a trap or sewer pipe. Alternatively, you can simply lower the hose into a bathtub or sink.

Therefore, you can place your new "home assistant" not only in the bathroom or kitchen. It could also be in the bedroom, hallway, or even the balcony. The dryer only requires a separate grounded outlet to operate. Connecting the device to the network through an extension cord is prohibited – it is unsafe.

However, there are still certain guidelines for choosing a dryer installation location. Let's look at the basic recommendations.

• It's best to place the dryer next to the washing machine. This will make it easier to transfer laundry from one drum to the other. Many people stack the dryer on top of the washing machine.
• It's important to park the dryer in a location free of dust and dirt. Otherwise, the air vents on the dryer body will become clogged.
• Air around the dryer must circulate freely, so do not place the device in a closet or hide it in other furniture.
• Do not block the air vents on the dryer body. This means leaving a small space between the dryer and any nearby furniture or appliances.
• The floor beneath the dryer must be level and solid to minimize vibrations caused by the appliance. Do not place the dryer on carpet.
• Don't unscrew the dryer's feet and place it upside down on the floor. This will restrict air circulation.
• Be sure to level the dryer body. The unit's feet are adjusted manually.

Once installation is complete, check that the dryer is stable. Press down on each of the four corners of the body one at a time. If the dryer is unstable, continue adjusting the unit.

First and subsequent starts of the dryer

So, the new dryer is installed. Now the next step is preparing it for the first use. This includes cleaning the drum. Factory and store dust accumulates inside the machine, so it's important to wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Only then can you load clean items inside.

Information on load capacity is available in your dryer's instructions. The permissible load will vary for each setting. Do not put too many things in the device - this can cause the dryer to break. In addition, the clothes will not dry completely, and many folds and creases will remain on the fabric.

Once the dryer has completed its cycle, the user will be left with:

• de-energize the machine;
• open the drum door and take out dry laundry;

• clean the lint filter.

Always leave the dryer slightly open for ventilation. This will prevent unpleasant odors, mold, and mildew. Avoid running the dryer repeatedly, as this puts a lot of strain on the heating element. Always give your "home helper" at least half an hour to rest.

Users only have questions when they first start the dryer. After that, it starts up much faster, automatically. What recommendations does the manufacturer provide?

• Don't load dripping items into the washing machine. Firstly, it's unsafe. Secondly, they'll take longer to dry, increasing energy consumption. Therefore, always pre-spin laundry, preferably in the washing machine.
• It is important to sort your laundry by fabric type and select the appropriate drying mode.
• It's best to turn items inside out before placing them in the dryer. Also, fasten buttons, zippers, and other fastenings.
• Do not dry rubber items or items made of similar materials in the device.
• It's important not to overdry your items. Otherwise, they will lose their shape and wrinkle.
• At the end of the cycle, do not open the door immediately to remove the laundry. The temperature inside the washing machine is high, so it's best to wait 5-10 minutes to avoid getting burned.
• It is advisable to clean the lint filter and drain the condensate after each cycle.

If you follow the basic recommendations, you won't encounter any problems. The machine will dry clothes efficiently. All you need to do is select the right program and keep the appliance clean.
