Cleaning and maintenance

Unplug the dryer during the cleaning and maintenance
procedures.
Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see Fig. A).
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or
other suitable drain, then place it back. Do not use the dryer
without having inserted the container back in place.
Cleaning the door filter after each cycle (see Fig. B).
Pull the filter out and clean it by removing the lint from the filter
surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner. For
optimal performance, dry up all the filters before inserting them
back in place. Do not use the dryer without having reinserted
the filter in place.
Remove the door filter as described below:
1. Open the door and pull upwards.
2. Open the filter and remove lint from all its parts.
Replace it correctly.
Ensure it is completely inserted flush with the dryer seal.
Cleaning the bottom filter when the relevant indicator
turns on (see Fig. C).
Pull the filter out and remove the lint from its surface by
washing it under runing water or by using a vacuum cleaner.
However, it is advisable to clean this filter after each cycle to
optimise drying performance. Do not use the dryer without
having inserted the filter in place first.
Remove the bottom filter as described below:
1. Open the lower door.
2. Take the handle and pull the lower filter out.
3. Open the rear side of the filter and remove the lint from the
inner surface of the mesh.
4. Clean the bottom filter chamber avoiding the direct contact
with the leaves.
5. Close the rear side of the lower filter and place it back by
checking it is perfectly integrated in place.
6. Lower the filter handle and close the bottom door.
7. Make sure the air intake is free.
The filters are essential parts for drying. They are intended
to collect the lint formed during drying process. In case
of clogged filters, the air flow inside the dryer would be
seriously affected: the drying times would be longer, the
energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be
damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly,
the dryer may not start.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with
a damp cloth.
Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with
a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits.
Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the filters area,
using a vacuum cleaner every so often.
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
