CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE FILTER

At the end of each cycle the filter LED is
on to tell you that the filter must be
cleaned.

The filter collects the fluff. The
fluff occurs while the cloths are
dried in the tumble dryer.

16

To clean the filter:

1. Open the door.

2. Pull the filter.

3. Open the filter.

4. Use a moist hand to clean the filter.

ENGLISH 17

5. If necessary clean the filter with

warm water using a brush.
Close the filter.

6. Remove fluff from the filter socket.

CAUTION!

Do not operate the tumble dry­er without the filter or with dam­aged or blocked filter.

Clean the filter after each drying
cycle. Clogged filter increases
the cycle time and causes higher
energy consumption.

For this a vacuum cleaner can be
used.

7. Put the filter inside the filter socket.

If the water container is full, the pro­gramme breaks off automatically and
the drain container LED is on. To con­tinue the programme, drain the water
container and press the start button.

To drain the water container au­tomatically you can install drain­ing accessory (see chapter: AC-
CESSORIES)

DRAINING THE WATER
CONTAINER

drying cycle.

To drain the water container:

1. Pull the water container.

18

2. Move the water container in hori-

zontal position.

3. Move the plastic connection out
and drain the water container into a
sink or equivalent receptacle.

4. Move plastic connection in and in­stall water container.

WARNING!

Risk of poisoning. The con­densed water is not applicable
to drink or to prepare food.

CLEANING THE CONDENSER

If the condenserLED is on, the con­denser must be cleaned.

The condensed water can be
used as distilled water, e.g. for
steam ironing. If necessary filter
the condensed water (e.g. with a
coffee filter) to remove possible
residue and small pieces of fluff.

To clean the condenser:

1. Open the loading door.

ENGLISH 19

2. Move the release button on the bot-

tom of the door opening and open
the condenser door.

3. Turn the 2 blockages to unlock the

Do not use sharp objects to
clean the condenser. The dam­aged condenser could cause
leaks.
Do not operate the tumble dry­er without the condenser.

INSTALLATION

ENGLISH 23

APPLIANCE POSITIONING

• The tumble dryer must be installed in

a clean position, where dirt does not
collect.

• Air must flow freely around the appli-

ance. Make sure that the front airflow
slots in the bottom of the appliance
are not blocked .

• To keep vibration and noise at the

minimum, when the tumble dryer op­erates, it must be put on a stable and
flat surface.

• When the appliance is put in its per-

manent position, check if is fully level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is
not, adjust the feet until it is.

• Do not remove the feet. Do not de-

crease the floor clearance through
thick carpets, bar of wood or equiva­lent. This can increase the heat which
can cause interference with the oper­ation of the appliance.

• The temperature of the hot
air which occurs in the tumble
dryer can increase to 60 °C.
The appliance must not be in­stalled on the floor which is
not resistant to high tempera­tures.

• When the tumble dryer oper­ates, the room temperature
must not be lower than +5 °C
and higher than +35 °C. This
can cause unwanted effect on
the performance of the appli­ance.

• If it is necessary to move the
appliance, it must be moved
vertically.

• The appliance must not be in­stalled behind a lockable
door, a sliding door, a door
with a hinge on the opposite
side to that of the appliance
in such a way that a full open­ing of the tumble dryer is re­stricted.

It is possible to adjust the height of the
tumble dryer. To do that adjust the feet
(see picture).

user in the opposite side if there is a
limit to install the appliance. (see sepa­rate leaflet).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Connect the machine to an earthed
socket, in accordance with current
wiring regulations.

• Make sure that the electrical data on
the rating plate agrees with the pow­er supply.

• Always use a correctly installed
shockproof socket.

• Do not use multiple plugs and exten­sion cables. There is a risk of fire.

• Should the appliance power supply
cable need to be replaced, this must
be carried out by our Service Centre.

• Make sure not to squash or cause
damage to the mains plug and cable
behind the appliance.

• Do not pull the mains cable to dis­connect the appliance. Always pull
the mains plug.
