Emptying The Water Reservoir; Cleaning The Drum - Zanussi ZTE 280 User Manual

Clean the rubber
seal round the
condenser cabinet
and in the inner part
of the small door
with a damp cloth.
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.
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
operation when the
18
machine is next
used. The pilot light
(Water reservoir
full) reminds you
this operation.
Proceed as follows:
• Pull out the
reservoir
• Turn it upside
down and let
water flow down
• Re-fit the
reservoir
The reservoir must
be re-inserted
correctly.
If this is not done
the pilot light
comes on during
next drying and the
programme stops,
leaving the laundry
damp. The buzzer
will sound.
After emptying and
inserting the
reservoir the
button has to be
depressed again to
allow the
programme to
continue.
Handy tip: 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
When your laundry
does not reach the
desired degree of
dryness, in other
words, when it turns
out either too dry or
too damp, we
advise you to clean
the inside of the
drum with a cloth
soaked with vinegar.
This will eliminate
the slight patina that
has formed in the
drum (due to
residues of
detergent and
softeners used in
the washing, and to
the lime contained
in the water), which
prevents the probes
from detecting the
correct degree of
dryness.
