Quick Start Guide
Condenser tumble dryer
Cleaning the fluff filters
Removing visible fluff
Clean the surfaces of the fluff filters in the
door and the door opening after each
drying programme.
ĺ
Press the
Door
button to open
the door.
ĺ
Pull the fluff filter
out of the door.
ĺ
Use your fingers or a vacuum cleaner to
remove the fluff from all of the fluff filters.
ĺ
Remove any fluff from the hollow part of
the door with a bottle brush or a vacuum
cleaner.
ĺ
Also clean the door seal with a damp
cloth.
ĺ
Once clean, push the filter back into the
door holder until it clicks into position.
Ensure it is facing the correct way.
ĺ
Close the door.
Cleaning the fluff filters with water
If there is a great deal of compacted
fluff on any of the filters, they should be
removed and cleaned with water.
ĺ
Open the door and pull the fluff filter out
of the door.
The two filters in the door opening can also
be removed if you need to clean them with
water:
ĺ
Turn the dial
on the left and
right fluff filter
until you feel it
click.
ĺ
Pull the filter out of the door opening by
the dial as shown
.
ĺ
Rinse all the filters under hot, running
water.
ĺ
Dry the fluff filters thoroughly with care.
ĺ
Clean the area underneath these filters,
e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
ɘ
Do not replace the fluff filters if they are
damp. Damp or wet filters could cause
operational faults.
ĺ
Push the large filter back into the door
holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it
is facing the correct way.
ĺ
Replace the filters in the door opening
by first inserting them at the bottom and
then pressing them into place at the top.
ĺ
Lock both dials (you will feel them click
into position).
Checking the heat exchanger unit
ĺ
Hold the
condenser unit
up to the light
and check to see
if there is any fluff
inside it.
The arrows in the illustration above indicate
where to look.
If you cannot see any fluff:
ĺ
Refit the condenser unit (see the operat-
ing instructions).
If you can see some fluff:
ĺ
Clean the condenser unit.
Cleaning the condenser unit

Removing the condenser unit
ĺ
Use the yellow lever supplied to open the
service panel.
ĺ
Insert the lever
into the middle of
the gap in the
top (see arrow)
and lever the
panel until it
opens at the top.
ĺ
Now remove the panel by pulling it diago-
nally upwards. Then place it to one side.
ĺ
Turn the lever on
the inner cover

can be cleaned with a suitable proprietary
stainless steel cleaner following the man-
ufacturer's instructions.

Problem/Fault message
Possible cause and remedy
The laundry is not suf-
ficiently dry
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
ĺ
Finish drying using the
30 min warm air
timed drying pro-
gramme.
ĺ
Select a more suitable programme next time.
Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some pro-
grammes. See "Programmable functions" in the operating
instructions.
Items made of syn-
thetic fibres are
charged with static
electricity after drying
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric softener to
the final rinse in the washing programme.
There is a build-up of
fluff
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are
being worn and to some extent when they are being washed.
Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters in the door and door open-
ing and can be easily removed.
See "Cleaning and care".
Water leaks from the
machine after the con-
denser unit has been
cleaned
The inner cover of the condenser unit has not been locked
properly and/or the condenser unit has not been positioned
correctly.
Fluff has collected in the condenser unit housing.
ĺ
Ensure that the condenser unit is positioned correctly and
lock the inner cover.
ĺ
Check the rubber seals.
ĺ
Use a cloth to remove any visible fluff from the inside of the
condenser unit housing.
Cleaning the condenser unit
When rinsing the condenser unit, make
sure you position it as shown in the next
two illustrations.
ĺ
Rinse the condenser unit from the side
and from the front with a shower head or
similar.
ĺ
Check the condenser unit again for any
visible fluff and, if necessary, flush it
through again until it has all gone.
ĺ
Also make sure that the rubber seals are
clean.
ĺ
Shake the water off the condenser unit
until no more droplets of water are visible.
ĺ
Remove any soiling still visible inside the
housing (see the operating instructions).
ĺ
Refit the condenser unit (see the operat-
ing instructions).
Emptying the condensed water
container
Empty the condensed water container
after every drying programme.
The
Empty the container
indicator light will
come on if the maximum level of the con-
densed water container is reached. The
indicator light will go out when the door is
opened and closed again when the tumble
dryer is switched on.
ĺ
Pull out the
condensed water
container.
ĺ
To prevent water running out, hold it at
the front and towards the back and keep
it in a horizontal position when carrying it.
ĺ
Empty the
container.
ĺ
Replace the con-
tainer in the
dryer.
ɘ
Do not drink the condensed water. It
can cause health problems in people and
animals.
