Care and cleaning
5. Wipe the net
fi
lter (A). Brush the lint from the
fi
lter with your hand. Use a soft, dry cloth to
remove any deposits.
6. Remove the foam
fi
lter (B) found behind
the net
fi
lter. Wash the foam
fi
lter in a
washing machine using a rinse or quick
wash program. No detergent or hot wash is
necessary. The lint is washed away and the
fi
lter is not damaged.
7. Clean the evaporator (C) by spraying water
on the ribs with a plant spray bottle. The lint
runs o
ff
together with the water, which is then
evacuated by the condensed water pump.
8. Replace both
fi
lters and close the evaporator
door.
NOTE!
Avoid touching the ribs on the evaporator.
They are very thin and easily damaged. If the
ribs are bent or damaged, the e
ffi
ciency of the
condenser is greatly impaired, as is the drying
result.
NOTE!
Clean the
fi
lters after each drying.
Do not replace the
fi
lters if they are damp or
wet. Damp or wet
fi
lters could cause operational
faults.
NOTE!
The dryer should never be operated without
the
fi
lters in place, or with damaged
fi
lters as
excessive amount of accumulated
fi
bres from
the fabric could cause malfunction or failure of
the dryer.
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
solvents, as these can damage the machine. Do
not hose down or spray the machine with water.
NOTE!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the
machine. Keep the area around the tumble dryer
clean and cool; dust, heat and moisture prolong
drying times.
