CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning fluff filter

The filters collect all the fluff which collect during drying. To ensure that the tumble dryer works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine filter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after each drying cycle.

The warning icon ⚙ is on to remind you of this operation.

CAUTION!

Do not operate the tumble dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters.

1. Open loading door
2. Use a moist hand to clean the micro-fine filter, which is built into the lower part of the loading aperture.

1. After a period of time, a gleam because of detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter from the door pulling it out. It can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right).

After cleaning do not forget to put it back.

1. Push down the unlock button on the large coarse filter.

1. Take out fine strainer.
2. Remove fluff from fine strainer. It is best to use a moist hand for this purpose.

Clean the full filter area

The strainer area does not have to be cleaned after every drying cycle, but should be checked regularly and cleaned of fluff if necessary.

1. To do this, grip the top of the large mesh filter and pull it forwards until it comes loose from the 2 brackets.
2. Remove fluff from the full filter area. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner for this purpose.
3. Push both journals of the large mesh filter into the brackets on the loading door until they snap into place.

4. Re-insert fine strainer.

5. Push against the large mesh filter until it locks into the interlock.

If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large mesh filter will not snap into place and the loading door cannot be closed.

Cleaning the door seal

Clean the door seal with a moist cloth immediately after the drying cycle is completed.

Emptying the water reservoir

Empty the water reservoir after each drying cycle.

If the water reservoir is full, an active programme will break off automatically and the empty container ≈ symbol on the display will light up. To continue the programme, the water reservoir must first be empty.

WARNING!

Risk of poisoning. The water from the water reservoir is not applicable to drink or to prepare meals.

1. Pull out the water reservoir 1 and pull up the water reservoir drainage pipe as far as it will go 2.

1. Pour condensed water out into a basin or similar receptacle.
2. Slide outlet connections in and refit water reservoir.

If the programme has been interrupted as a result of the water reservoir being full: Push the START PAUSE button to continue the drying cycle.

The water from the water reservoir can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing.

But first filter the water (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove residue and small pieces of the fluff.

Cleaning heat exchanger filters

If the indicator clean base filters lights up, the heat exchanger fluff filters in the base of the appliance must be cleaned, i.e. after each 3 drying cycles. Both filters are located in the appliance base.

Water can collect in the filter housing therefore it is normal for the heat exchanger fluff filters to become wet.

• Do not operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filters.
• Clogged filters cause higher energy consumption (drying cycle elongation) and tumble dryer damage.

• A dirty heat pump can only be cleaned up with a costly process.

• Open loading door

• Open door in plinth: To do this, push the release button on the bottom of the door aperture and open the door in the plinth to the left.

• Pull filter housing out of the base by the handle.

• To clean the fluff filter: Remove filter from filter housing push the pressure points on the sides and pull the filter frame up and out of the housing. Remove fluff from the fluff filter with a moist hand.

• Use a moist hand to remove the fluff from the filter in the base.

If necessary pull out and clean the filter with warm water using a wiper or brush. Clean the inside of the door, the fluff filter chamber and the rubber seals of fluff.

1. Insert the fluff filter into the base a. Insert the second fluff filter into the filter housing (it has to audibly lock) and slide it inside the filter chamber b. Close the door in plinth. Note: If the fluff filter is not inserted in the filter housing, the filter housing cannot be slide into the appliance base.
2. As necessary, approx. once every 6 months, remove the fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge supplied. When doing this, please use rubber gloves.

Tip: The fluff can be removed more easily if it is first dampened (e.g. with a laundry dampener) or with the help of vacuum cleaner.

To clean the drum

CAUTION!

Do not use abrasive materials to clean the drum. Use a soft detergent to clean the inner side of the drum and the drum blades.

Keep the inner surface of the drum and the drum blades clean. The minerals from the water or cleaning agents can collect on the inner surface of the drum. This cause that the laundry is not sufficient dry.

Clean operating screen and housing

CAUTION!

Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the appliance. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.

WHAT TO DO IF ...

Troubleshooting by yourself

1) In case of error message on the LCD (e.g. E51-only dryers with the LCD): Switch the dryer off and on. Set programme. Press the START PAUSE button. Does not work? - inform local service and quote the error code.
2) follow program recommendation - see Programme overview chapter
3) see Care and cleaningchapter
4) see Machine settings chapter

5) only dryers with the LCD
6) Note: After around 5 hours the drying cycle ends automatically (see Drying cycle complete section).

Changing the bulb for interior lighting

Only use a special bulb which is designed specially for dryers. The special bulb can be obtained from your local service centre.

When the appliance is switched on, the interior lighting switches itself off after 4 minutes when the door is open.

WARNING!

Do not use standard bulbs! These develop too much heat and may damage the appliance! Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the mains plug; with a permanent connection: fully unscrew or deactivate the fuse.

1. Unscrew cover above the bulb (this can be found directly behind the loading aperture, at the top; refer to "Description of machine" section.)
2. Replace defective bulb.
3. Screw cover back down.
   Check the correct positioning of o-ring gasket before screwing back the door light cover. Do not operate the dryer when missing o-ring gasket on door light cover.

WARNING!

For safety reasons, the cover must be screwed down tightly. If this is not done, the dryer must not be operated.

MACHINE SETTINGS

1) Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values. Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water.
2) By default the warning LED is always on at the end of the drying cycle or during the cycle if the water reservoir is full. When using an external drain for the condensed water warning can be offi
