cloth.
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, this could
damage the condenser.
Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards
and close the door.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.

Emptying the water reservoir

Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the dryer is
in use.
If this is not done the safety devise trips: pilot light
full tank on the control panel comes on and the
program stops, leaving the laundry damp.
The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of
a programme.
Proceed as follows:
• Open the small door at the lower part of the
cabinet
• Turn the yellow stop upwards
• Pull out the reservoir
• Open the small cover and let the water flow down
• Close the small cover and re-insert the reservoir.

Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).

Cleaning the drum

When your garments do not reach the desired
degree of dryness, e.g. It turns out either too dry or
too damp, we advise you clean the inside of the
drum with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
This will eliminate the pattern formed in the drum
(due to residues of detergent and softeners used in
the washing and lime contained in the water).
