2. Pour condensed water out into a basin or

similar receptacle. 3. Slide outlet connections in and refit con-

densate tank.

If the programme has been interrupted as

a result of the condensate tank being full:

Press the START PAUSE button to con- tinue the drying cycle.

The condensate tank has a volume of approx.

4 litres. This is sufficient for around 7kg of

laundry which has previously been spun at 1000 revolutions/ minute.

The condensate can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. However first filter the condensate (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any residue and small pieces of fluff.

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the warning led is lighting, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.

CAUTION!

Operating when the heat exchanger is blocked with fluff can damage the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.

1. Open door.

2. Open door in plinth. To do this, press the release button on the bottom of the door aperture and open the door in the plinth to the left.

3.Clean fluff from the inside of the door and the heat exchanger front chamber. Wipe

the door seal with a damp cloth.
