BEFORE YOU START
Thank you for choosing the AKAI HOME 8kg Digital Heat Pump Dryer, a
product that has been manufactured to our highest standards for performance,
safety and environmental compatibility. To ensure you can enjoy its full range of
benefits, please take a moment and read the supplied manual before first use.
It has all the important information you need to know to install and operate the
dryer safely and efficiently.
If this is your first heat pump dryer, you may have chosen it because of its
vastly superior energy efficiency, compared with a traditional, vented type of
dryer. The AKAI HOME 8kg Digital Heat Pump Dryer boasts a 7 star energy
efficiency rating, which means you can look forward to lower electricity bills in
years to come.
How it works
Your heat pump dryer does not need to be vented, so you do not need to
install an air duct. But rest assured, your laundry won’t be hot and humid like a
sauna after using the dryer. A heat pump dryer uses the same heat exchange
principles as a reverse cycle air conditioner. It heats up the air it uses to dry
your clothes, captures the moisture from the washing and then cools the
dehumidified air. The moisture is automatically collected in an in-built water
container, which needs to be emptied after use. Alternatively, you can drain the
water into a nearby sink or standpipe using an external drain hose (supplied).
Drying time
Drying a load takes longer in a heat pump dryer than in a vented dryer.
Table 2 in the manual gives the default drying times for each program. Bear
in mind that these drying times are indicative only; higher drying levels will
increase the actual drying time. But the machine’s in-built moisture sensor
ensures that your washing won’t get dried for longer than necessary, so no
energy is wasted.
