Maintaining the condensation water container and condenser
Emptying the condensation water container:
The container is in the bottom part of the machine. It
collects the water extracted from the laundry during the
wash.
To empty it, open the skirting flap and remove the container
from its housing by pulling outward (A and B).
The container must emptied after each drying cycle.
If this isn’t done, the next cycle will be interrupted; around
20 seconds after you’ve emptied and replaced the
container, the cycle resumes and the “container full” led
goes out.
Risk of freezing:
If there is a risk of freezing, empty
the water container.
Moving the dryer:
If you want to move or tilt the
machine, empty the water container.
Cleaning the condenser
The condenser should be cleaned twice a month.
Take the plug out before cleaning the condenser.
- open the skirting flap on the front of the machine (A);
- remove the condenser panel by sliding the locking
devices towards one another in the direction of the
arrows (C);
- turn the lever 90° to free the condenser (D);
- remove the condenser (E);
- free it from fluff;
- rinse with tap water only (F);
- after cleaning, make sure all the tubes are “unblocked”
and that the fins are clean;
- dry it summarily;
- remove all deposits of fibre from the surface of the
condenser housing and around the water discharge
hole (F);
- replace the container in its housing, secure it and put
the cover and skirting back on.
Important: when you remount the condenser, keep
it firmly pressed against the bottom of its housing
whilst securing it.
