The condenser and ducting should be cleaned 3 or 4 times a year or more frequently if the dryer is
in constant use. See “CLEANING THE CONDENSER” opposite.
NOTE: The condenser will discolour through use.
REMOVING THE
CONDENSER
–
Slide the condenser grille catch to the left.
–
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 “click” is heard.
–
Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the
grille seal before closing or water may leak.
–
IMPORTANT: 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 aluminium 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 opposite).
–
Flush the fluff from between the plates under running
water and carefully shake off excess water.
–
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 opposite).
