The condensation water that forms inside the exchanger is collected in a trap.
There is a float inside this trap that informs the circuit board that there is water. This powers a pump which
conveys the water along a pipe (1) from the trap to the main tank; at one point the water from the pump
comes to a fork and so one part is shunted along the pipe (2) to the collection tank necessary for the steam
generator (3).
Before entering this tank, the water is filtered by the filter present in the manual water filling assembly (7).
The excess water obtained when the drying cycle has not ended yet and the steam generator tank is full is
channelled along the overflow pipe (4) towards the trap and from there, the pump recycles it.
The main tank was designed to collect the condensation water of a complete cycle with a full load, so
approximately 5.5 litres.
If for some reason the tank fills up beyond its capacity, the overflowing water is collected by the tank support
and is re-conveyed inside the trap along the transparent pipe (12), pushing the float upwards and thus
activating the microswitch.
The electronics make 7 attempts to empty the trap within a set time, after which if the float has not dropped
the electronic control recognises the problem and disconnects the power supply to the appliance and lights
up a LED informing the user that the tank is full.
If you are using a cycle that uses steam, the water inside the transparent tank (3) reaches the pump (8)
along the pipe (6); this pump, which also acts as a pulse powered non-return valve, conveys the water to the
boiler (9) where it turns into steam and travels along the pipe (10) and the nozzle (11) to the inside of the
drum.
