Switching off the electricity
!Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important part of your dryer:
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.
When finished drying, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer.
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram on next page).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards.
2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into
the tumble dryer trim.
!Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.
Empty the water container after each cycle
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain.
Replace the water container securely.
!Failure to empty the water container may cause the following:
-The dryer will stop heating (so the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle).
●Priming the water collection system
When your dryer is new, the water container will not collect water until the system is primed.
This will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will collect water during every drying cycle.
Cleaning the heat pump filter unit Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove the heat pump filter unit and clean any build up of fluff from the surface of the filter. However, we recommend that you clean this filter after EVERY drying cycle to optimise the dryers performance.
To removing the heat pump filter unit:
1.Unplug the dryer and open the door.
2.Pull open the heat pump filter unit cover (see diagram on next page).
Release the 4 clips to the vertical position then pull the filter unit towards you.
3.Separate the two parts of the filter and clean the surface of the filter.
!The front of the heat pump is made from thin metal plates. Take care that you do not damage these or cut yourself when cleaning, removing or replacing the heat pump filter unit.
4.If there is any build up of fluff on the plates, carefully clean this off with a damp cloth, sponge or a vacuum cleaner. Never use your fingers.
5.Reassemble the two parts of the filter, clean the seals and replace with the 4 clips in the horizontal position, make sure that the catches are secure.
!Always check and empty the container before you start a new drying programme.
