2. Close the filters and fit the hooks
3. Place inner filter inside of outer filter
4. Refit the Lint filter

7.2 Emptying the Water Tank

1. Pull the drawer cover and carefully take out the tank.
2. Empty the water in the tank.
3. If there is lint accumulated on the discharge cap in the tank, clean it with water.
4. Refit the water tank.

IMPORTANT: Never remove the water tank when the programme is running. The water lensed in the water tank is not suitable for human consumption.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORGET TO EMPTY THE WATER TANK AFTER EACH USE.

7.3 Cleaning the Heat Exchanger

IMPORTANT: Clean the heat exchanger when you see the warning "Heat Exchanger cleaning".

IMPORTANT: EVEN IF THE "HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING WARNING LED" IS NOT ON: CLEAN HEAT EXCHANGER AFTER EVERY 10 DRYING PROCESSES OR THREE TIMES A MONTH.

If the drying process is completed, open the loading door and wait for it to cool down.

1. Open the kick plate cover as shown.
2. Unlock the exchanger cover by turning in the direction shown with arrows.
3. Take out the exchanger cover as shown.

4. Clean the front surface of the exchanger as shown.

5. Fit the exchanger cover as shown.

6. Lock the exchanger cover by turning in the direction shown with arrows.
7. Close the kick plate cover as shown.

WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN WITH BARE HANDS SINCE THE EXCHANGER FINS ARE SHARP. THEY

MAY HURT YOUR HANDS

7.4 Cleaning the Humidity Sensor

Inside the machine, there are humidity sensors that detect whether the laundry is dry or not.

To clean the sensors:

1. Open the loading door of the machine.
2. If the machine is still hot due to the drying process, wait for it to cool down.
3. Using a soft cloth soaked in vinegar, wipe the metal surfaces of the sensor and dry them.

IMPORTANT: CLEAN THE METAL SURFACES OF THE SENSOR 4 TIMES A YEAR.

IMPORTANT: Do not use metal tools to clean the metal surfaces of the sensor.

WARNING: Due to the risk or fire and explosion, do not use solution agents, cleaning agents or ar products when cleaning the sensors.

7.5 Cleaning the Inner Surface of the Loading Door

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORGET TO CLEAN THE INNER SURFACE OF THE LOADING DOOR R EACH DRYING PROCESS.

12.2 Energy Efficiency

• You should operate the dryer to full capacity, but make sure that it is not overloaded.
• When the laundry is being washed, the spin speed should be at the highest level possible. This will shorten the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
  • Make sure that the same kinds of laundry are dried together.
• Please follow the recommendations in the user manual for programme selection.
• For air circulation, leave an appropriate clearance on the front and back sides of the dryer. Do not cover the grills on the front side of the machine.
• Unless necessary, do not open the door of the machine when drying. If you have to open it, do not keep it open for a long time.
• Do not add new (wet) laundry during the drying process.
• Hairs and lint that detach from the laundry and merge in the air are collected by the "Lint Filters". Please make sure that the filters are cleaned before and after each use.
• For models with a heat pump, make sure that the heat exchanger is cleaned at least three times a month or after each 10 uses.
• During the drying process, the environment where the dryer is installed must be well ventilated.
