Important Information

!

You MUST clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying

cycle.

Fluff Filter...

!

Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying cycle will affect the drying performance of your machine. 

-

It will take longer to dry and as a result will use more electricity during drying.

!

You MUST empty the water container after EVERY 

drying cycle.

Water Container...

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.

STEP 1.

Open the door of your
dryer.

STEP 2.

Remove the filter.

STEP 3.

Open the filter and clean
any fluff deposits from 
the filter mesh.

STEP 4.

Refit the filter - NEVER 
run the dryer without the
filter in position.

For your Condenser dryer to operate efficiently, you must follow the regular maintenance schedule shown below:

STEP 1.

Pull the water container
towards you and remove 
it fully from the dryer.

STEP 2.

Remove either the small or
large cap and empty the
water from the container.

!

Failure to empty the water container will result in:

-

The machine will stop heating (so the load may still be wet at the end of the drying cycle).

-

The ‘Empty Water’ light will tell you that the water container is full.

STEP 3.

Refit the water container,
ensuring that it is pushed
fully back into position.
