2.2 Ground Sleeve Installation

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Juwel Futura Elegant XXL Clothes Dryer.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum frame and plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Line Care: The TWARON lines are designed to be durable. The integrated protection mechanism helps keep them clean when the dryer is folded. If lines become dirty, they can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during harsh weather conditions (e.g., strong winds, heavy snow), it is recommended to fold the dryer and utilize its protective cover.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Juwel Futura Elegant XXL Clothes Dryer, please refer to the following common solutions:

5.1 Dryer Does Not Open Smoothly

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no debris or objects are blocking the arms or the central mechanism.
• Lubrication: If the movement feels stiff, apply a silicone-based spray lubricant to the moving joints and the gas spring mechanism. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dirt.
• Gas Spring: If the gas spring seems to have lost its power, contact customer support.

5.2 Lines Are Not Taut

• Check Pegs: Ensure the patented line tensioning pegs are correctly engaged.
• Overloading: Avoid overloading the lines, as this can cause them to sag. Distribute laundry evenly.

5.3 Dryer Wobbles After Installation

• Ground Sleeve Stability: Re-check that the ground sleeve is screwed firmly and vertically into the soil. If the soil is too loose, consider compacting it or relocating the dryer to a firmer spot.
• Pole Insertion: Ensure the main pole is fully inserted and seated correctly in the ground sleeve.
