• Place the sponge as shown below, without forcing it. Pay attention to seat the left side of the sponge into the appropriate housing in the filter drawer as marked in the picture.
• Do not squeeze the sponge to make it go into the inner frame as shown in the picture below.

Condenser sponge (for products equipped with a heat pump)

It is very important that the lint and fibres are caught completely by the filters of your machine which is equipped with a condenser with heat pump. Failure in functioning of the filters may cause a drop in the performance or breakdown of your machine. Therefore, in addition to the “Cover Filter” and “Filter Drawer” filtering phases in your machine, there is also a “Condenser Sponge” piece for protection purpose. If the “Cover Filter” and “Filter Drawer” are functioning appropriately, , “the “Condenser Sponge” piece should be checked every 3 months. Any layer of accumulated lint on the sponge must be removed.

i If the lint and fibre collected on the sponge is sparse and small, you do not have to clean the sponge.

To clean the condenser sponge;

1 Take out the condenser sponge from its place.

i A wire grid can be seen after taking out the condenser sponge.

2 Clean the sponge and place it properly back into its place. Put the sponge in its housing between the wire grid and plastic frame.

Important:

- When placing the condenser sponge, make sure that some part or whole of

the sponge does not run over the plastic frame. Misplacing will lead unsatisfactory filtering and may cause a drop in the performance of or damage to your machine.

A spare "Filter Drawer Sponge" and a spare "Condenser Sponge" piece are supplied together with the machine. You must be careful not the lose these spare parts.

Sensor and drum fin

There are humidity sensors in your machine that detect whether the laundry is dry or not.

To clean the sensors and drum fin;

1 Open the cover of your machine.
2 Allow the machine to cool off if drying has been carried out.
3 Wipe the metal sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar and dry them.
i Clean metal sensors 4 times a year.

⚠️ Never use solvents, cleaning agents or substances alike when cleaning as these might cause fire and explosion!

Water tank (for products equipped with a Condenser and a Heat pump)

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 "tank full" warning light comes on.

You can use the water in the water tank in your steam irons or air humidifiers.
⚠️ Never take out the water tank when the program is running!

⚠️ Condensed water is not drinkable!

If you forget to drain the water tank, your machine will stop during the following drying cycles when the water tank is full and the "Tank Full" warning light will light on. If this is the case, press the "Start/Pause/Cancel" button to resume the drying cycle after draining the water tank. In order to drain the water tank;
