These legs help greatly in levelling the machine to the ground and keeping it firm. This model is quite large to be placed on top of the washing machine and should be ideally located on the ground.
Sensors:
The most attractive feature in LG RC8015C Silver Tumble Dryer is the number of sensors that it comes with.
- Load sensor: With the help of this sensor, the dryer detects the weight of the wash load. This aids in using the appropriate water amount.
- Dry sensor: In here the moisture level is detected so that the time and the temperature for each cycle can be adjusted automatically.
- Electro safety sensor: This feature has a variety of very efficient programmes that helps in drying loads faster by optimising the air flow.
With the help of the various sensors present in the tumble dryer the appliance conserves a lot of energy thus indirectly helping in reducing the energy bill. The quantity of water, the temperature and the time taken are automatically adjusted. This helps in conserving time, energy and money and works lot more quietly and quickly. This results in gentle care for the fabric.
Other convenient features:
- Water tank sterilisation: The water tank has an anti bacterial coating which protects it from contamination enabling the water to be free from germs and bacteria. This feature is definitely worthy of praise.
- Efficient tumbling control: This tumble dryer rotates in both the directions unlike the other models that rotate in the same direction. This assists in untangling the clothes effortlessly and increases the drying efficiency of the appliance too.
- Temperature selector: Though all the programmes are pre set automatically, one can still choose the temperature for the cycle manually. This actually overrides the pre set cleaning programme.
- Multi level heater control: The tumble dryer has different degrees of temperature settings in the heater making it easier to choose according to the user’s requirement. The temperature and humidity outside, the type of wash load and its moisture content all play an important role in choosing the right temperature.
Safety measures:
Safety devices such as child lock, door opening sensor, thermal fuse, thermostat and TP switches have been equipped in the appliance to make it safer for the users. The child lock assists in avoiding changes in the already set function or programme. The sensor that is equipped to find out if the door is opened avoids tricky situations of otherwise. The thermostat and thermal fuse protects it against any electrical fluctuations. This enables the tumble dryer to function without a hitch. TP switches are safety switches that keep the machinery sealed from tampering before it is installed.
Indicators: There is an impressive LED screen where information is displayed for ease of use.
- At the end of every cycle a beeper is heard to indicate that the programme is completed. Therefore, one’s time is not wasted on inefficient activity such as waiting for the cycle to get completed.
- Indicators are present to point out whether the filter needs to be changed or not. Clean filters are a must for any tumble dryer and with the help of this indicator it makes it easier for the user to have an idea about it.
- Another indicator is the one for showing the water level. This points out when the water level is empty.
- There are indicators to show the remaining time and the current status of the programme that is in use. With information that is easily illustrated it makes the dryer all the more user friendly.
- An internal light is found in the drum of the tumble dryer. This helps to illuminate the interiors of the drum to enable the user to see the wash load and its contents clearer especially when the outside light is low or dim.
Programmes:
LG RC8015C Freestanding Tumble Dryer has a superior selection of drying programmes. There are about 9 programmes and 9 different drying options. This variety enables the user to use the best suited one according to the requirement and wash load.
