Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the
shower if necessary.
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the condenser
cabinet and in the inner part of the small door
with a damp cloth.
Important! Do not use pointed objects or
utensils to clean the spaces between the
plates, as this could damage the condenser
and make it permeable.
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
machine is next used.
The message «The tank is full, please empty»
written on the display reminds you to do this.
Proceed as follows:
•
Pull out the reservoir
•
Turn it upside down and let water flow down
•
Re-fit the reservoir

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
If this is not done the same message comes on
during next drying and the programme stops,
leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will
sound.
After inserting the reservoir the Start/Pauze
button has to be pressed again to allow the
programme to continue.
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 laundry does not reach the desired
degree of dryness, in other words, when it turns
out either too dry or too damp,we advise you to
clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked
with vinegar.
This will eliminate the slight patina that has
formed in the drum (due to residues of
detergent and softeners used in the washing,
and to the lime contained in the water), which
prevents the probes from detecting the correct
degree of dryness.
