Frequently Asked Questions - LTE 4400 CORBERO

How do I clean the lint filter on the Corbero LTE 4400?

The lint filter is located behind the door. Open the door, pull the filter out, remove lint by hand or with a soft brush, then rinse under running water. Let it dry completely before reinserting. Clean after every cycle for optimal performance.

Why does my dryer take too long to dry clothes?

Possible causes: lint filter is clogged, condenser needs cleaning, the load is too large, or the room temperature is too low. Clean the filter and condenser regularly and avoid overloading.

Can I install the Corbero LTE 4400 in a small space?

Yes, it is a freestanding condenser dryer that does not require external venting. Ensure at least 5 cm of space on each side for ventilation.

How do I use the delay start function?

Select your drying program, then press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the desired delay (1-24 hours). The dryer will start automatically after the set time.

What is the maximum load capacity for cotton?

The maximum load for cotton is 4 kg. Overloading can cause poor drying results and higher energy consumption.

How do I clean the condenser?

Locate the condenser unit at the bottom front of the dryer. Remove the cover, pull out the condenser, rinse it under running water to remove lint, then dry and reinsert. Clean every 3 months.

Is the Corbero LTE 4400 energy efficient?

It has energy class C, which is standard for this model. For lower consumption, use the cotton eco program and always dry full loads.

What should I do if the dryer stops mid-cycle?

Check if the water tank is full, the lint filter is blocked, or the door is open. Empty the tank, clean the filter, or close the door properly. If problem persists, contact support.

Can I dry wool or silk in this dryer?

It is not recommended. Use the delicates program only for synthetic or mixed fabrics. Wool and silk should be dried naturally.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds until the indicator lights up. The buttons will be locked. Repeat to deactivate.

INSTALLATION

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.

Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally.

However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via a 100 mm diameter flexible hose available through your dealer; ending either temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or window.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.

Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the two adjustable feet at the front of the machine until it is.

The feet must never be removed.

Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important

When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35^ C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and right-hand side.

Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back into place.

The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provided.

Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from lying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it.(See picture, point A).

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run's overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder's merchant should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice.

It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen.

In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.

Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m^3/h .

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed.

This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel.

Operate as follows:

• Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws (1) fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. A).
• Remove the safety catch (2) and the plug (3) by bending the two fastening tags (Fig. A).
• Refit the safety catch (2) and plug (3) on the door by reversing their positions (Fig. B).
• Remove the plastic plate (4) by unscrewing the two fastening screws (Fig. A).
• Refit the plastic plate (4) on the opposite side (Fig. B).
• Refit the door by screwing in the two screws (1) which fasten the door to the cabinet (Fig. B).

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of your washing machine.

Anticrease phase

If you do not remove the laundry at the end of the programme, after the cooling phase, the machine will carry out automatically the «anticrease» phase which lasts approx 30 mins. During this period the drum will rotate at regular intervals to avoid creasing and the buzzer will sound for 1 second every 10 seconds, unless you have depressed the BUZZER OFF button.

To remove the laundry during this phase it is necessary to switch the machine off by turning the selector dial to «0».

Useful hints

■ Try to load to the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. For information, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 - 1000 g

Tablecloth 400 - 500 g

Kitchen towel 70 - 120 g

Table napkin 50 - 100 g

Towelling hand towel 150 - 250 g

Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g

Man's shirt 200 - 300 g

Pillowcase 100 - 200 g

Man's pyjamas 400 - 500 g

■ Never tumble dry the following: Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.

■ Always follow the instructions on garment labels.

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

■ Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings.
■ Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.
■ Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
■ Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.
■ The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
■ Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the special brief spin programme of your washing machine).

■ Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a little during drying. Please do not overdry items of this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.
■ You can also put starched items into your dryer. However, to achieve the desired starched effect, choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.
■ To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
■ Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.
■ If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but at least 20 minutes. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

MAINTENANCE

You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream with a soft cloth.

Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff.

Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.

Diagram showing a hand pressing down on a circular component with concentric rings (no text or symbols)

Cleaning the filter

Your dryer will only function well if the filter is clean.

The filter collects all the «fluff» which accumulates during drying and it must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme with a damp cloth.

The filter cannot be removed.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
