The hair and fibres that are separated from the laundry during drying process is collected by the Lint filter.

After each drying cycle, clean the lint filter and the inner surface of the loading door.

NOTICE Your drying machine has 2 lint filters with one placed inside the other. Do not operate the product without the lint filters.

To clean the lint filter:

• Open the loading door.

• Hold the first part (inner filter) of the two part lint filter and remove it by pulling it upwards.
  

• Remove the second part (outer filter) by pulling it upwards.
  
  Ensure that hair, fibre and cotton balls do not fall into the slot where the filters are installed.

• Open both of the lint filters (outer and inner) and remove the fibres with your hands or with the brush on the air deflector. You can clean the hair in the filters with a vacuum cleaner.
  
  

• Clean both filters under water running in reverse direction of fibre accumulation or with a soft brush. Dry the filter before placing it back.
  

• Insert the lint filters on one another and place it back in its place.
  

• Clean the inner surface of the loading door and the gasket with a soft damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector.
  
  

Cleaning the sensor

The drying machine has humidity sensors that detect whether the laundry is dry. To clean the sensors:
Open the drying machine loading door.
If the machine is hot due to drying operation, wait until it cools.
Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar and then dry

Clean the metal surfaces of the sensor 4 times a year. Do not use metal tools to clean the sensors’ metal surfaces.

Due to fire and explosion hazard, do not use solutions, cleaning materials or similar tools to clean sensors.

Emptying the water tank

During drying, the moisture is removed from the laundry and condensed, then the water is accumulated in the water tank. Empty the water tank after each drying session.

Condensed water is not potable water!
Do not remove the water tank as a program is running!

If you do not empty the water tank, during the next drying sessions the machine will stop operating due to the water tank being full and a Water Tank warning icon will blink. In this case empty the water tank and to continue drying operation, press the Start / Stand-by button. To drain the water tank:
Pull the water tank out from its drawer carefully. Drain the water in the tank.

If fibre is accumulated in the funnel on the water tank, remove it under running water. Place back the water tank.

If direct discharge option is used, water tank is not required to be drained.

Cleaning the condenser

The hair and the fibre that are not collected by the lint filter accumulates on the metal surface of the condenser behind the air deflector. These fibres shall be cleaned regularly.
If the condenser cleaning icon blinks, check the metal surface. If there is any fibre, clean it. It must be checked at least every 6 months.

• Open the toe board by pulling its button.

• Move the latches to open the air deflector lid.

• Pull the brush to the left to remove it. You can use the cleaning brush to clean filter, condensing metal surface and accumulated fibre on the door.
  
  The cleaning brush is inside the documentation bag. Get your brush from the documentation bag and insert it to its place on the air deflector to store it.

• Clean the fibre on the metal surface of the condenser with damp cloth or the brush on the air deflector in up – down direction. Do not clean with left – right direction since it will damage the metal plates of the condenser. You can use a vacuum cleaner with a brush for cleaning. If the vacuum cleaner does not have a brush, it is not recommended to be used for condenser cleaning.
  

• After cleaning the filter, door and the condenser, drag the brush to the right and lock it in its place.
  

• After the cleaning process is completed, place the air deflector cover to its place, move the latches to close it and close the toe board.

You can clean by hand, provided you wear protective gloves. Do not try to clean with bare hands. The condenser fins may damage your hands. Cleaning from left to right may damage the condenser fins. This may lead to drying issues.

When the air deflector cover is removed, it is normal to have water at the plastic section in front of the condenser.

• If you see fibre accumulation on the fan cover and the toe board, remove with a cloth.

• Do not have weight on the toe board when it is open.

NOTICE Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.
