CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE FILTER

At the end of each cycle the indicator

(clean the filter) is on to tell you that

1. Open the door.

2. Pull the filter.

3. Open the filter.

ENGLISH 19

4. Use a moist hand to clean the filter.

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.

DRAINING THE WATER

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 indicator
tainer 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)

er 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:

ENGLISH 21

1. Open the loading door.

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

8. Put the condenser back inside the
bottom compartment.

9. Close the condenser lid.

10.Lock the 2 blockages until they
snap.

11.Close the condenser door.

CAUTION!

Do not operate the tumble dry­er when the condenser is
blocked with fluff. This could
cause the damage to the tum­ble dryer. This also increases en­ergy consumption.
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 27

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.

CAUTION!

Before use all parts of the transport
packaging must be removed.
