Care and maintenance

Disconnecting the power supply

EN
! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or
during cleaning and maintenance operations.
Cleaning the filter after each
cycle
The fi lter is a fundamental component of the
dryer: its function is to collect lint and fl uff that
front of the dryer seal (see Picture).
Removing the fi lter:
1. Pull the fi lter's plastic handle upwards (see
Picture).
2. Clean the fl uff off the fi lter and replace it
correctly. Ensure that the fi lter is pushed fully
home.
! Do not use the dryer unless the fi lter has
been replaced in its holder.

Checking the drum after each cycle

Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.
Cleaning the drum
!
Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning
agents to clean the drum. A coloured fi lm may appear on the
stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a
combination of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-
6
form during drying.
Clean the fi lter once
drying is completed, by
rinsing it under
running water or cleaning
it with a vacuum cleaner.
Should the fi lter become
clogged, the fl ow of air
inside the dryer will be
seriously hampered:
drying times becomes
longer and more energy
is consumed. Also, the
dryer may become
damaged.
The fi lter is located in
softeners. This coloured fi lm does not affect the dryer's
performance.
Emptying the water container after
each cycle
Remove the water container and
empty it into a sink or other
suitable drain outlet, then
replace it correctly.

Always check the water
container and empty it before
starting a new drying cycle.
-Failure to empty the water container may cause
the following:
- The dryer stops heating (so the load may still be
damp at the end of the drying cycle).
- The "Empty water container" LED activates to
show that the water container is full.
Priming the Water Collection System
When your dryer is new, the Water Container will
not collect Water until the system is primed, this
will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will
collect Water during every cycle.

Cleaning the condenser unit.

• Remove the condenser (see Picture
below) unit regularly (monthly) and clean off
any fl uff deposits from the plates by rinsing it
with cold water running on the rear end of the
condenser.
Removing the conden-
ser:
1. Disconnect the
dryer from the power
supply and open the
door.
2. Open the
condenser cover (see
Picture below), unlock the three catches by
turning them 90°
anti-clockwise, then pull
on the grip to remove
the condenser.
3. Clean the surface
of the seals and replace
the unit with the arrows
