A factory reset is a useful troubleshooting step if your airer is not responding, not connecting to Wi-Fi, or if you want to reconfigure it with a new network. Follow the steps below to reset your airer to its factory settings.
Step 1: Ensure the Airer is Powered On
- Make sure your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer is plugged into a working power outlet and turned on.
- The indicator light should be visible to confirm it’s receiving power.
Step 2: Locate the Sync Button
- The sync button is the centre button on the front of the plug.
- This is the button you’ll use to perform the factory reset.
Step 3: Press and Hold the Sync Button
- Press and hold the sync button (centre button) for 10–15 seconds.
- Watch the indicator light as you hold the button. It should start to blink rapidly, indicating that the airer is entering reset mode.
Step 4: Wait for the Reset to Complete
- Once the indicator light starts blinking rapidly, release the sync button.
- The light may continue to blink for a few seconds as the reset completes.
- When the indicator light stops blinking or returns to its default state, the airer has been successfully reset.
Step 5: Reconnect to the Smart Life App
After the factory reset, you’ll need to reconnect your airer to the Smart Life app to set it up again.
- Open the Smart Life app on your smartphone.
- Tap the “+” (plus) icon to add a new device.
- Follow the instructions in the app to reconnect the airer to your Wi-Fi and complete the setup.
What Happens After the Reset?

- Fresh Setup: You’ll set up the airer as if it’s brand new, following the same steps as the initial installation.
