RECOMMENDATION!
Wash the sponge
fi
lter in the washing machine after 30
drying cycles (use the rinse or quick wash program).
6. Clean the heat pump ribs by spraying water on them
(use a plant sprayer). The water will carry away the
lint and the condensate pump will drain the lint and
water mixture.
7. Replace the clean sponge
fi
lter into the
fi
lter support.
To replace the support,
fi
rst insert the bottom edge of
the support under an angle, and then lightly press it
towards the heat pump ribs to align it. Close the heat
pump door.
NOTE!
Do not touch the heat pump ribs. They are very thin
an easily damaged. If the ribs are bent or damaged,
the e
ffi
ciency of the condenser unit will deteriorate
considerably, which in turn leads to poorer drying
results.
CLEANING THE AUTO FILTER
Clean the
fi
lter at the intervals shown on the machine’s
display or more often
1. Pull the condensed water container out and up.
2. Unscrew and remove the auto
fi
lter.
Sealing
3. Rinse the auto
fi
lter clean with water.
4. Screw the auto
fi
lter back into place. Check that the
seal is properly seated.
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 programme
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.
