Maintenance and cleaning
Cover filter
Lint and fibres released from the laundry to the
air during the drying cycle are collected in the
"Cover Filter".
C
Such fibre and lint are generally formed
during wearing and washing.
C
Always clean the filter after each drying
process.
C
You can clean the filter and filter area by
vacuum cleaner.
To clean the filter:
1. Open the loading door.
2. Remove the cover filter by pulling it up and
open the filter.
3. Clean lint, fibre, and cotton raveling by
hand or with a soft piece of cloth.
4. Close the filter and place it back into its
seat.
C
Clogging may arise on the filter surface after
using your machine for some time; if this
occurs, wash the filter with water and dry it
before using again.
Sensor (models with a sensor)
There are humidity sensors in your dryer that
detect whether the laundry is dry or not.
To clean the sensor:
1. Open the loading door of the dryer.
2. Allow the machine to cool down if drying
has been carried out.
3. Wipe the metal sensors with a soft cloth,
dampened with vinegar and dry them.
C
Clean metal sensors 4 times a year.
A
Never use solvents, cleaning agents
or similar substances when cleaning
since these materials can cause fire and
explosion!
Water tank (Products equipped with a
condenser);
The moisture in the damp laundry is taken from
the laundry and condensed. Drain the water
tank after each drying cycle or during drying
when "Water tank" warning light turns on.
A
Condensed water is not drinkable!
A
Never take out the water tank when the
programme is running!
Water tank may be located in two different
places as indicated below, depending on the
model of your dryer.
-
Inside the drawer on the panel
-
Behind the kick plate cover
If you forget to drain the water tank, your dryer
will stop during the following drying cycles
when the water tank is full and the "Water
tank" warning light will turn on. If this is the
case, press the "Start/Pause/Cancel" button to
resume the drying cycle after draining the water
tank.
To drain the water tank:
1. Carefully remove the water tank by
opening the kick plate cover/pulling the
drawer.
2. Drain the water by opening the water tank
cover.
3. If there is lint accumulation in the water
tank cover, clean it and press to close.
4. Place the water tank into its seat.
For the condenser (products with a
condenser)
Hot and humid air in the condenser is cooled
with the cold air from the room. Thus, the
humid air circulating in your dryer is condensed
and then pumped into the tank.
C
Clean the condenser after every 30 drying
cycles or once a month.
To clean the condenser:
1. If a drying process has been carried out,
open the door of the product and wait until
it cools down.
