How the dryer works

Drying
The drying air in the drum circulates in
a closed system passing lengthwise
through the condenser.
The condenser is cooled by a second
flow of cool air brought in from outside
the dryer. This air passes across the
condenser.
The moisture in the drying air
condenses in the cooled condenser
unit. The condensate is then either
collected in the condensed water
container or pumped away.
The drying air and the external air used
for cooling the condenser unit are kept
separate from one another.
Fluff in the drying air which has built up
on textiles during the washing process
and through wear, is collected by the
fluff filters in the door and in the door
opening.

Hygiene filter
The hygiene filter filters the air from the
room which the dryer takes in to cool
the condenser unit. Once filtered this
air gets warm. It is then expelled back
into the room.
The hygiene filter must be replaced
with a new one when the Change filter
indicator light comes on.
The dryer must not be used without
the hygiene filter in place.
Without the hygiene filter in place, the
dryer will take in more room air which
will in turn cool the condenser unit more
and cause a lower drying temperature.
A reduction in the drying temperature
will mean that micro-organisms are not
deactivated. The noise level during
drying will also increase.
Please note that the programme
durations will be longer if the hygiene
filter is not replaced when the indicator
light comes on.
