4.1 - C
LEANING THE FILTER
This is located in the lower part of your dryer.
Clean it as follows:
— Remove it from its housing by pulling it upwards
(Fig. 4.1.1).
— Open the filter and clean it by removing the thin
coating of fluff covering it (Fig. 4.1.2).
— Re-insert it in its housing, pushing it well in.
Do not wash filter with water (Fig. 4.1.3).
The filter must be cleaned after every drying.
4.2 - E
MPTYING THE CONDENSATE CONTAINER
This is located at the top or bottom of your
appliance (according to model), and it recovers the
water extracted from your items during drying.
— To empty it, release it from its housing by pulling it
towards you (Fig. 4.2.1).
The condensate container must be emptied
after each drying cycle (Fig. 4.2.2).
— Empty the condensate container if there is a risk
of frost, or if you wish to move or tilt your
appliance.
4.3 - C
LEANING THE CONDENSER
The condenser must be cleaned twice a
month.
— Unplug the power cable from the socket before
cleaning the condenser.
Clean it as follows:
— Open the grill at the front of the appliance.
— Release the condenser and remove it carefully
(Fig. 4.3.1).
— Remove any fluff from the condenser. Clean it with
water only under the tap (Fig. 4.3.2).
— After cleaning, ensure that none of the tubes are
"blocked" and that the fins are clean.
— Rub it superficially.
— Re-insert the condenser and lock it in place. Close
the grill.
When refitting the condenser, ensure that it
is pushed in firmly right to the back of its
housing when locking it in.
4.4 - C
LEANING THE APPLIANCE
To clean the control panel, the access to the drum
and the casing, use only a sponge or a damp cloth
and some soapy water.
— Ensure that there is no fluff accumulating round
the dryer.
— Clean the door seal with a damp cloth and the fil-
ter housing with your vacuum cleaner once a year.
— You should not use, under any circumstances,
the abrasive powders, the metal or plastic spon-
ges and the alcohol-based products (Fig. 4.4).
4.5 - D
IRECT EVACUATION OF WATER CONDEN
SER (Top condensate container models only)
To avoid having to empty the collection tank every
time you use the appliance, you have a kit (*) for
removing the water from the condenser directly into
the drain (hose and deflector). To fit this:
A A
— Take off the existing pipe and push it inside
the appliance (Fig. 4.5.1).
B B
— Clip the deflector with the top of the pump
(Fig. 4.5.1).
— Connect the hose C C from the kit to the end
D D
connector on the appliancl (Fig. 4.5.2).
You can connect the other end of the hose either:
- To a ventilated trap (Fig. 4.5.3).
- Or a sink trap (Fig. 4.5.4).
When connecting to a trap, you must remove the fil-
ler plug. Then press home the rubber tip. If neces-
sary, add a clamp connection (Fig. 5.4).
— (*) This kit is provided with the appliance or is
available near your After-sales service (according
to model).
— The deflector must necessarily be positioned
before the drain hose connection.
4.6 - C
HANGING THE BULB (according to model)
You can replace the light bulb (type E14-15W/230V)
yourself (Fig. 1.1) . To do this:
— Unscrew the glass cover located to the left inside
the appliance.
G G
— Unscrew the extinguished bulb and replace it.
— Screw on the glass cover tightly.
Important:
Unplug the power cord before
changing the bulb. The bulb must be repla-
ced when the appliance is cooled down.
