What to do for energy saving

• Use the highest possible wringing option as you wash the laundry. Therefore you can reduce the drying period and reduce energy consumption. Sort the laundry based on their types and thickness. Dry same types of laundry together. For instance kitchen towels and table cloths dry faster than bathroom towels.
• Follow the recommendations in the user manual for program selection.
• During drying do not open the loading door unless necessary. If you are required to open the loading door, do not keep it open for too long.
• Do not add wet laundry as the drying machine operates.

Before using the Steamcure program, the water in the filling container at max. Level must be filled manually into the wing. To remove wrinkles, tap or drinking water should be used.
A few drops of water that may overflow from the wing during filling will not cause any problem.

Additives or descaling agents should not be used. Chemicals that can be dissolved with liquid chemicals and liquids should not be used.

Starting the Program

Maintenance and cleaning

Read the "Safety Instructions" first!

Lint filters (internal and external filters) / Cleaning of the Interior Surface of the Loading Door

The hair and fibres that are separated from the laundry during drying process is collected by the Lint filter.
After each drying cycle, clean the lint filter and the inner surface of the loading door.
NOTICE
Your drying machine has 2 lint filters with one placed inside the other. Do not operate the product without the lint filters.

To clean the lint filter:

• Open the loading door.
• Hold the first part (inner filter) of the two part lint filter and remove it by pulling it upwards.
  
  
• Remove the second part (outer filter) by pulling it upwards.
  

  Ensure that hair, fibre and cotton balls do not fall into the slot where the filters are installed.

• Open both of the lint filters (outer and inner) and remove the fibres with your hands or with the brush on the air deflector. You can clean the hair in the filters with a vacuum cleaner.
  
  
• Clean both filters under water running in reverse direction of fibre accumulation or with a soft brush. Dry the filter before placing it back.
  
  
  
• Insert the lint filters on one another and place it back in its place.
  
  
• Clean the inner surface of the loading door and the gasket with a soft damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector.
  

Cleaning the sensor

The drying machine has humidity sensors that detect whether the laundry is dry.
To clean the sensors:
Open the drying machine loading door.
If the machine is hot due to drying operation, wait until it cools.
Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar and then dry.
Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor 4 times a year. Do not use metal tools to clean the sensors' metal surfaces.
Due to fire and explosion hazard, do not use solutions, cleaning materials or similar tools to clean sensors.

Emptying the water tank

During drying, the moisture is removed from the laundry and condensed, then the water is accumulated in the water tank. Empty the water tank after each drying session.
Condensed water is not potable water! Do not remove the water tank as a program is running!
If you do not empty the water tank, during the next drying sessions the machine will stop operating due to the water tank being full and a Water Tank warning icon will blink. In this case empty the water tank and to continue drying operation, press the Start / Stand-by butto
To drain the water tank:
Pull the water tank out from its drawer carefully.
Drain the water in the tank.

Remove the water tank in the drawer or the kickplate carefully.
If fibre is accumulated in the funnel on the water tank, remove it under running water. Place back the water tank.

Cleaning the condenser

The hair and the fibre that are not collected by the lint filter accumulates on the metal surface of the condenser behind the air deflector. These fibres shall be cleaned regularly.
If the condenser cleaning icon blinks, check the metal surface. If there is any fibre, clean it. It must be checked at least every 6 months.

Open the toe board by pulling its button.

Move the latches to open the air deflector lid.

Pull the brush to the left to remove it. You can use the cleaning brush to clean filter, condensing metal surface and accumulated fibre on the door.

The cleaning brush is inside the documentation bag. Get your brush from the documentation bag and insert it to its place on the air deflector to store it.

Clean the fibre on the metal surface of the condenser with damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector in up - down direction. Do not clean with left - right direction since it will damage the metal plates of the condenser. You can use a vacuum cleaner with a brush for cleaning. If the vacuum cleaner does not have a brush, it is not recommended to be used for condenser cleaning.

After cleaning the filter, door and the condenser, drag the brush to the right and lock it in its place.

After the cleaning process is completed, place the air deflector cover to its place, move the latches to close it and close the toe board.

You can clean by hand, provided you wear protective gloves. Do not try to clean with bare hands. The condenser fins may damage your hands. Cleaning from left to right may damage the condenser fins. This may lead to drying issues.

When the air deflector cover is removed, it is normal to have water at the plastic section in front of the condenser.

If you see fibre accumulation on the fan cover and the toe board, remove with a cloth.

Do not have weight on the toe board when it is open.

NOTICE
Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.

Troubleshooting

Electrical Connection

Make sure that you have an earthed power outlet socket rated at 13 amps (minimum).

Attention!

When installed, the socket must be reachable after installation, or a separate switch (which can disconnect the two poles) must be used in the installation. Check for suitability. For a permanent connection, a master switch with at least 3mm contact clearance and minimum 13 A rating must be used.

Electrical requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from an Authorised Service Agent.

This appliance must be earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.
In order to avoid hazards, damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified people.
Do not operate without the top cover fitted. Risk of injury.

Fitting a different plug

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:

1. Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked 'E' or with the symbol or coloured green and yellow or green.
2. Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked 'N' or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked 'L' or coloured red.
   With the alternative plugs a 13 A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
   

Washer/dryer combination

Do not stack washing machine on top of the tumble dryer. This would damage both appliances and guarantees would become void. It is also unsafe to stack an appliance on top of another without using a suitable and approved stacking kit obtained from specialist retailers
