Frequently Asked Questions - Tasciugo AriaDry Compact DDS 25 DELONGHI

How to empty the water collection tank?

When the tank is full, the appliance stops and the alarm C1 is displayed. Remove the tank (A6), empty it into a sink or bathtub, then put it back in place, ensuring the handle is correctly positioned.

How to install continuous drainage?

Remove the continuous drainage cap (A11) and the rubber stopper (A10). Attach the drainage hose (A12) onto the spout. Ensure the hose is placed below the spout to prevent water backflow into the tank.

How to clean the dust filter?

Remove the filter compartment cover (A9), then extract the dust filter (A8). Vacuum the dust or rinse with warm water (max 40°C). Allow to dry completely before reinstalling. Clean weekly with daily use.

When and how to replace the HEPA filter?
