CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the dryer during the cleaning and maintenance procedures.

Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see Fig. A).
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain, then place it back. Do not use the dryer without having inserted the container back in place.

Cleaning the door filter after each cycle (see Fig. B).
Pull the filter out and clean it by removing the lint from the filter surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner. For optimal performance, dry up all the filters before inserting them back in place. Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the filter in place.

Remove the door filter as described below:

1. Open the door and pull upwards.
2. Open the filter and remove lint from all its parts. Replace it correctly. Ensure it is completely inserted flush with the dryer seal.

Cleaning the bottom filter when the relevant indicator turns on (see Fig. C).
Pull the filter out and remove the lint from its surface by washing it under running water or by using a vacuum cleaner. However, it is advisable to clean this filter after each cycle to optimize drying performance. Do not use the dryer without having inserted the filter in place first.

Remove the bottom filter as described below:

1. Open the lower door.
2. Take the handle and pull the lower filter out.
3. Open the rear side of the filter and remove the lint from the inner surface of the mesh.
4. Clean the bottom filter chamber avoiding direct contact with the leaves.

7. Make sure the air intake is free

The filters are essential parts for drying. They are intended to collect the lint formed during the drying process.

In the case of clogged filters, the airflow inside the dryer would be seriously affected:

The drying times would be longer, the energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly, the dryer may not start.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Never lift the dryer by holding it at the worktop.

1. Unplug the dryer.
2. Make sure that door and water tank are properly closed.
3. If the drain hose is connected to your sewage system, fix the drain hose on the rear of the dryer again (see Installation Guide).
