This Willow 3kg Vented Tumble Dryer excels at quickly handling small, everyday laundry items. Imagine you need a fresh shirt for an unexpected meeting, or your favorite pair of jeans for a casual outing—this dryer can have them ready in a fraction of the time a larger machine might take.

Single Occupancy Apartments: Ideal for individuals who generate small laundry loads, providing a convenient and quick drying solution for daily wear.
Quick Dry Needs: If you have activewear that needs drying after a workout, or a child's uniform that needs to be ready for the next day, its rapid drying capability for small batches is invaluable.
Countertop Placement: Its light weight (20.5kg) means it can be safely placed on a sturdy countertop, saving valuable floor space in small kitchens or utility areas, provided proper venting is established.
Delicate Items: The controlled temperature dial allows you to select lower heat settings, which is beneficial for drying delicates like lingerie or thin blouses, preventing shrinkage or damage. For tougher fabrics like towels or cotton socks, a higher heat setting can be chosen for faster results.
Tip: Always ensure the vent hose is properly connected and clear of obstructions for optimal performance and to prevent moisture buildup in your room. Regular cleaning of the lint filter after each use is crucial for maintaining efficiency and safety.
Unpacking: Carefully remove the dryer from its packaging. Retain packaging for future transport if needed.
Placement: Choose a stable, level surface, such as a sturdy countertop or a dedicated laundry area. Ensure there's enough space for the vent hose.
Venting: Attach the provided vent hose to the dryer's exhaust outlet. Extend the other end of the hose to an exterior vent or securely position it out of an open window. Ensure the hose is as straight as possible to avoid kinks that can restrict airflow.
Power Connection: Plug the dryer into a standard, grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the dryer's power requirements. Do not use extension cords.
Leveling: If necessary, adjust the feet at the bottom of the dryer to ensure it is level and stable. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.
Space: Designed for small living spaces, dorms, or as a secondary dryer. Its compact size is a key advantage.
Power: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets. > Info needed: [Voltage and Amperage requirements]
Venting: Requires access to an exterior vent or a window for the vent hose. Not suitable for spaces where external venting is not possible.
Lint Filter Cleaning: Crucial for performance and safety. After every drying cycle, remove the lint filter located inside the door opening and clean off any accumulated lint. This maintains airflow, drying efficiency, and prevents fire hazards.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Interior Cleaning: Occasionally wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
Vent Hose Inspection: Periodically check the vent hose for any kinks, blockages, or damage. Ensure it's securely attached and free of lint buildup.
