Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use water with a little mild washing-up liquid added
rinse and then dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.
Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at
the end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth. The «Please clean fil-
ters» message appears on the display to remind
you to carry out this operation.
The filter in the inner door must be removed for
cleaning.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

After a while, a whitish patina due to detergent
residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this
occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a
brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per
picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to
the left or to the right).
Do not use the appliance without fil-
ters.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser when the «Please clean
condenser» message appears on the display.
The condenser is situated at the lower part of the
cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push
the catch as per picture.
During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal
for water to be present on the surface of the
condenser.
To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red
stops downwards as shown below and then remove
the condenser unit holding it at the handle.
