ALWAYS EMPTY THE WATER BOTTLE
THE CONDENSER
The condenser and ducting should be cleaned monthly or more frequently if the dryer is in constant use.
See
ˆCLEANING THE CONDENSER˜ below.
NOTE: The condenser will discolour through use.
REMOVING THE CONDENSER
˘Firmly pull the condenser out.
RE−INSTALLING THE CONDENSER
˘Carefully push the condenser back into the machine, until it is pushed fully home and a ˆclick˜ is heard.
IMPORTANT:
˘Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the grille seal before closing or water may leak.
− The dryer may leak if the condenser is not correctly re−installed
CLEANING THE CONDENSER
CAUTION
:
For maximum efficiency, the plates are made from very thin aluminum and are easily damaged. Do not
try to poke anything between the plates or use a hard object or tool for cleaning. At all times, handle the
condenser carefully and avoid crushing the plates.
˘Remove the condenser (see above).
˘Flush the fluff from between the plates under running water and carefully shake off excess water .
ANY PROBLEMS
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
˘Check that you used the correct heat setting.
˘Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period.
˘Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked filter will restrict the airflow.
− Pull the filter upwards and away from the appliance.
− Remove any threads or fluff by hand or with a soft brush.
− Slide the filter back.
− Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution using a soft brush to
remove small particles.
− If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to ensure no damage is caused
to the dryer.
− Open the door, pull out and empty the bottle.
− Replace the bottle ensuring that it is pushed all the way in − if it is not,
the dryer will not operate.
− If the dryer is connected to a drain there is no need to empty the bottle
but it must be correctly fitted to the machine.
Whilst the condenser is removed, clean as much fluff as
possible from inside the ducting by reaching a hand into the
machine.
In particular, keep the passage from the fan clear (on the right
hand side of the condenser duct).
After cleaning, re−install the condenser (see above).
