Maintenance

The filters

For your tumble dryer to function correctly, the filters need

to be cleaned before or after every load dried.

To clean them:

1. Open the door.

2. Open the coarse filter upwards (Fig. A).

3. Brush the fluff off the fluff filter, which is under the

coarse filter (Fig. B). Sometimes you may need to

remove the fluff filter to clean it on both sides.

Make sure that you put the fluff filter back correctly

after cleaning, before closing the coarse filter.

Never start the dryer unless the fluff filter

is clean and correctly in place, or if the

fluff filter is damaged (this could cause

overheating).

The condenser

As in all types of tumble dryer, the air circulated through the

dryer picks up fluff. As a result, some fluff will accumulate

in the condenser, so it needs to be cleaned occasionally.

To clean the condenser:

1. Open the door and open the coarse filter upwards.

2. Remove the fluff filter and close the coarse filter

again.

3. Grasp the recesses at the top of the condenser

with your fingers and use your thumbs to press

against the door (Fig. C & D).

The condenser will come free, allowing you to lift

it outwards/upwards. Be careful not to damage

the sensitive aluminium section.

4. Turn it upside down and clean it on both sides,

using a vacuum cleaner. Remove the red drain

plug on the lower edge of the condenser (Fig E).

Lay the condenser flat and fill it with water through

the filter opening. Now leave the condenser to

soak in water for about 5 minutes, then shower

both sides with hot water. (Fig. F).

Dry the condenser carefully afterwards. Don’t

forget to put back the red drain plug (Fig. G).

5. Put the condenser back in the dryer. Make sure

that its base is lined up in the slots in the condenser

cavity inside the dryer door.

Press the condenser carefully into place until you

feel and hear a gentle “snap”. Put back the fluff

filter and close the coarse filter.
