6 Maintenance and cleaning

6.1 Loading Door Inner Surface

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

NOTE

• Fibres are formed during wearing and washing clothes.
• You can clean the filter slot with a vacuum cleaner.

WARNING!

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

To clean the fibre filter:

• Open the loading door.
• Hold the first part (inner filter) of the two-part fibre filter and remove it by pulling it upwards.
• Collect the hair, fibres, and cotton balls with your hand or with a soft cloth.
• Remove the second part (outer filter) by pulling it upwards.

NOTE

• Ensure that hair, fibre, and cotton balls do not fall into the slot where the filters are installed.
• Open both fibre filters (inner and outer filters) and remove the hair, fibre, and cotton balls with your damp hand, a vacuum cleaner, or a cloth.

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

Insert the fibre filters one on another and place them back in their place.

Clean the loading door interior and its washer with a soft damp cloth.

6.2 Cleaning the sensor

There are dampness sensors in the dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not.

To clean the sensors:

• Open the loading door of the dryer.
• Allow the machine to cool down if it is still hot due to the drying process.
• Wipe the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar, then dry them.

NOTE

• Clean the metal surfaces of the sensors 4 times a year.
• Do not use metal tools when cleaning the metal surfaces of the sensors.

WARNING!

- Never use solvents, cleaning agents, or similar substances for cleaning due to the risk of fire and explosion!

6.3 Draining the water tank

Dampness from the laundry is removed and condensed during the drying process, and the water that arises accumulates in the water tank. Drain the water tank after each drying cycle.

WARNING!

• Condensed water is not drinkable!
• Never remove the water tank when the program is running!

If you forget to drain the water tank, the machine will stop during subsequent drying cycles when the water tank is full, and the Water Tank warning symbol will flash. If this is the case, drain the water tank and press the Start/Pause button to resume the drying cycle. To drain the water tank:

1. Carefully remove the water tank from the drawer or container.

1. Drain the water in the tank.

• If there is lint accumulation in the funnel of the water tank, clean it under running water.
• Place the water tank into its seat.

NOTE

- If the direct water draining is used as an option, there is no need to empty the water tank.

6.4 Cleaning the evaporator

The hair and fibres that are not caught by the fibre filter go to the fins of the evaporator behind the toe board and accumulate here. If the evaporator icon is flashing or in 6 month periods, clean the evaporator.

- Open the toe board by pressing on it.

• To open the air routing door, move the release latch.

- Clean the fibres on the evaporator with a damp cloth / vacuum cleaner with a brush by moving upwards and downwards.

- After the cleaning process is completed, place the air router door to its place, move the latches to close it and close the toe board.

WARNING!

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