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 clog-
ged, the flow of air inside
the dryer will be seriously
hampered: drying times becomes longer 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 Heat Pump Filter Unit
• Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove
Heat pump filter unit and clean any build up
of fluff from the surface of the filter by rinsing
it under running water or with your vacuum
cleaner.
We however recommend that you clean this
filter after every drying cycle to optimize the
dryers performance.
To remove Heat pump
filter unit:
1. Unplug the dryer and
open the door.
2. Remove the filter unit
by rotating the 4 clips
to the vertical position
then pulling the filter
unit towards you.
3. Separate the two
parts of the filter unit and
clean the surface of the
filter.
!
Warning: The front of
the heat pump is made
from thin metal plates.
Take care that you do
not damage these or cut
yourself when cleaning,
removing or replacing
the filter unit.
4.Whenever you clean
the Heat pump filter
unit always clean any
build up of fluff from
the surface of the metal
plates. Carefully clean
this fluff off with a damp
clot
h,sponge or vacuum
cle
aner. Never us
e your
Fingers.
5. Assemble the two parts of the filter clean
the surface of the seals and replace with the
4 clips into the horizontal position, sure that
the catches have been secured.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
