Dryer

HOOVER 3530D — 3.5kg Vented Dryer

The Hoover 3530D uses a mechanical timer dial on the control panel for manual selection of drying duration. It controls both the heat circuit and drum motor — simple and straightforward to use.

⚙️ How to Use

  1. Turn the Timer Knob — Rotate clockwise to your desired drying time (up to 150 minutes)
  2. The dryer starts automatically — both heat and drum rotation are controlled by the timer
  3. Dryer stops automatically when the timer reaches zero

📝 Good to Know

  • Large loads may need the timer reset for a second cycle
  • Manual only — no automatic sensor drying
  • If the dryer runs continuously, the timer may not be advancing — please let us know
