Failure to empty the water container may cause
the following:
- The dryer will stop heating (so the load may still
be damp at the end of the drying cycle).
●
Priming the water collection system
When your dryer is new, the water container will not
collect water until the system is primed.
This will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will
collect water during every drying cycle.
Cleaning the heat pump filter unit
Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove
the heat pump filter unit and clean any
build up of fluff from the surface of the filter.
However, we recommend that you clean
this filter after EVERY drying cycle to
optimise the dryers performance.
To removing the heat pump filter unit:
1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.
2. Pull open the heat pump filter unit cover
(
see diagram on next page
).
Release the 4 clips to the vertical position
then pull the filter unit towards you.
3. Separate the two parts
of the filter and clean
the surface of the filter.
!
The front of the heat pump is made
from thin metal plates.
Take care that you
do not damage these or cut yourself when
cleaning, removing or replacing the heat
pump filter unit.
4. If there is any build up of fluff on the
plates, carefully clean this off with a damp
cloth, sponge or a vacuum cleaner. Never
use your fingers.
5. Reassemble the two parts of the filter,
clean the seals and replace with the 4
clips in the horizontal position, make
sure that the catches are secure.
Switching off the electricity
!
Unplug your dryer when not using it,
when cleaning it and during all
maintenance operations.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important
part of your dryer:
it accumulates lint and
fluff that is formed while
drying.
When finished drying, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running water or with your
vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become
clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will
be seriously compromised: drying times
lengthen and you will consume more
energy. It may also damage your dryer.
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim
(
see diagram on next page
).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of
the filter upwards.
2. Clean the filter and
replace it correctly.
Ensure the filter is fully
located flush into
the tumble dryer trim.
!
Do not use the dryer without replacing
the filter.
Empty the water container after each
cycle
Pull the container out of the dryer
and empty it into a sink or other
suitable drain.
Replace the water container
securely.
!
Always check and empty the container before you
start a new drying programme.
