The Amica ADV7CLCW excels in providing straightforward and effective drying for everyday laundry. With its 7kg capacity, it comfortably handles the laundry demands of a medium-sized family, from bedding to weekly clothing. The 12 drying programmes mean you can confidently dry a variety of fabrics; for example, select the 'Delicates' setting for sensitive items, or the 'Cotton' program for towels and sheets. Users will appreciate the anti-crease function, which tumbles clothes intermittently at the end of the cycle to prevent wrinkles, saving time on ironing. For those with busy schedules, the delay start option is invaluable, allowing you to set the dryer to run when electricity rates are lower or to finish just as you arrive home. The half-load option is a smart feature for energy conservation, ensuring that smaller washes don't waste electricity on a full-capacity cycle. The clear LED display provides real-time updates on your drying progress, making it easy to plan your day. As a vented dryer, it efficiently expels moist air, but remember to ensure proper ventilation setup.
The Amica ADV7CLCW is designed as a freestanding appliance, meaning it can be placed anywhere with access to a power outlet and external venting.
Placement: Choose a level surface, ideally near an external wall or window for venting.
Venting: Connect a vent hose (often purchased separately) to the dryer's exhaust outlet and route it outdoors to expel moist air. Ensure the hose is clear of kinks or obstructions.
Power Connection: Plug the dryer into a standard UK mains socket using the included 1.5m power cable.
Suitable for medium-sized households due to its 7kg capacity.
Compatible with standard UK 230V mains electricity.
Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter after every cycle to maintain drying efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
External Vent: Periodically check the external vent hose and opening for blockages (lint, debris) to ensure proper airflow.
Wipe Down: Wipe the exterior and interior drum with a damp cloth as needed to keep it clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Door Seal: Regularly inspect and wipe the door seal to remove any lint or residue.
