Disconnecting the power supply
!
Disconnect the dryer when not in use or
during cleaning and maintenance operations.
Cleaning the filter after each
cycle
The filter is a fundamental component of the
dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that
form during drying.
Clean the filter once
drying is completed, by
rinsing it under
running water or cleaning
it with a vacuum cleaner.
Should the filter become
clogged, the flow of air
inside the dryer will be
seriously hampered: drying times becomes
loger and more energy is consumed. Moreover,
the dryer may become
damaged.
The filter is located in
front of the dryer seal
(see Picture).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the filter’s plastic
handle upwards
(see
Picture).
2. Clean the fluff off the filter and replace it
correctly. Ensure that the filter is pushed fully
home.
!
Do not use the dryer unless the filter has
been replaced in its holder.
Checking the drum after each cycle
Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handker-
chiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.
Cleaning the drum
!
Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning
agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may appear on the
stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combina-
tion of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-softeners.
This coloured film does not affect the dryer’s performance.
Emptying the water container after
each cycle
2
Remove the water container and
empty it into a sink or other
suitable drain outlet, then
replace it correctly.
Always check the water contai-
ner and empty it before starting
a new drying cycle.
-Failure to empty the water container may cause
the following:
- The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be
damp at the end of the drying cycle).
- The “Empty water container” LED activates to
show that the water container is full.
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 cycle.
Cleaning the condenser unit.
•
Remove the condenser (see Picture
below) unit regularly (monthly) and clean off
any fluff deposits from the plates by rinsing it
with cold water running on the rear end of the
condenser.
Removing the condenser:
1.
Disconnect the dryer from the power
supply and open the
door.
2.
Open the
condeser cover (see
Picture below), unlock
the three catches by
turning them 90°
anti-clockwise, then pull
on the grip to remove
the condenser.
3.
Clean the surface
of the seals and replace
the unit with the arrows
pointing upwards, while
making sure that the
catches are securely
fixed.

ned with a damp cloth.
• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months)
with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust
deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the
front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a
vacuum cleaner every so often.

personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechani-
