3. Pull out the condenser
unit holding it at the han-
dle .
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.
Important! 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 op-
eration when the machine is next used. The Bac plein
(Water Reservoir) light reminds you to perform this op-
eration.
1. Pull out the reservoir
4. 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 cab-
inet and in the inner part of
the small door with a damp
cloth.
2. Turn it upside down and
let water empty
3. Re-fit the reservoir
Important! The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
If this is not done the pilot light Bac plein (Water Reser-
voir) comes on during next drying and the programme
stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound.
After inserting the reservoir press the Marche/Arrêt (Start/
Pause) button again to allow the programme to continue.
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
Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean
the drum.
Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a
barely visible lining on the inside of the drum. The
degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no
longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than ex-
pected when removed from the appliance.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based
cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum
ribs.
Clean control panel and housing
Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or
aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the control panel and
housing.
