Unplug the dryer during the cleaning and maintenance procedures.
Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see Fig. A).
Pull the container out of the dryer and and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain, then place it back. Do not use the dryer
without having inserted the container back in place.
Cleaning the door lter after each cycle (see Fig. B).
Pull the lter out and clean it by removing the lint from the lter surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner. For optimal performance, dry up all the lters before inserting them back in place. Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the lter in place.
Remove the door lter as described below:
1. Open the door and pull upwards.
2. Open the lter and remove lint from all its parts. Replace it correc tly.
Ensure it is completely inserted ush with the dryer seal.
Cleaning the bottom lter when the relevant indicator turns on (see Fig. C).
Pull the lter out and remove the lint from its surface by washing it under runing water or by using a vacuum cleaner.
However, it is advisable to clean this lter after each cycle to optimise drying performance. Do not use the dryer without having inserted the lter in place rst.
Remove the bottom lter and the condenser as described below:
1. Open the bottom door.
2. Take the handle and pull the bottom lter out.
3. Open the rear side of the lter and remove the lint from the inner surface of the mesh.
4. Clean the bottom lter chamber (there might be residual water: this is normal).
5a. Approximately every 3 months, clean the condensing unit (gure D) situated behind the bottom lter.
5b. Lower the levers situated on the sides of the condenser. After having removed the condenser, clean it under running water.
5c. Place the condenser back in place and lift the levers.
6. Close the rear side of the bottom lter and place it back by checking it is perfectly integrated in place.
7. Lower the lter handle and close the bottom door.
8. Make sure the air intake is free.
The lters are essential parts for drying. They are intended to collect the lint formed during drying process. In case of clogged lters, the air ow inside the dryer would be seriously aected: the drying times would be longer, the energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly, the dryer may not start.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Never lift the dryer by holding it at the worktop.
1. Unplug the dryer.
2. Make sure that door and water tank are properly closed.
3. If the drain hose is connected to your sewage system, x the drain hose on the rear of the dryer again (see Installation Guide).
