Caring for your dryer
Emptying the water collection tank:
During the drying cycle steam condenses into water and is collected
in the water tank, located at the top left of the dryer. It is important to
empty the water tank after every load.
There is an indicator light that will illuminate when the water tank needs
emptying. A user warning will also be displayed on the screen (refer to
page 24). If the water tank becomes full during operation, the dryer will
go into COOL mode for several minutes, then pause and beep to alert
you. Empty the tank and touch START/PAUSE to resume the cycle.
Note: you do not need to empty the water tank if you have set up the
drain hose to drain the water automatically.
To empty the water tank:
1
Remove the water tank by holding onto the handle and pulling
outwards gently to remove it. Ensure that you keep the tank level when
it is being removed to prevent the water collected from spilling.
2
Pour the water down the sink or into a bucket, and then put the tank
back in place.
Important!
■
■
Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
■
■
Never run the dryer without the water tank in place.
■
■
If the water tank becomes full, the tumble dryer will pause drying and will sound an alarm. You
must empty the water tank before the dryer can continue drying. Empty the tank, replace it back
in the housing then touch START/PAUSE to resume the cycle.
Cleaning the condenser:
If the CONDENSER indicator light starts to flash this indicates that the
condenser needs to be cleaned. The condenser should be cleaned after
every 100 drying hours. The light illuminates when you first turn the
machine on, then turns off once the START/PAUSE button has been touched.
To clean the condenser:
1
Switch off the power supply and remove the power plug before cleaning
the condenser.
2
Open the condenser cover.
3
Turn the two condenser lock levers 90 degrees then pull out the condenser.
4
Clean the condenser with pressurised water and wait until the water drains.
5
Replace the condenser.
6
Turn the two condenser lock levers to lock the condenser back in place
again. Make sure that these locks are engaged securely.
7
Close the condenser cover.
Cleaning the sensors:
There are humidity sensors in your machine that detect whether the
laundry is dry or not. These sensors need to be cleaned periodically
(we recommend approximately four times a year).
To clean the sensors:
1
Open the door of your machine.
2
Allow the machine to cool if drying has been carried out.
3
Locate the metal sensors just behind the lint filter.
4
Wipe the sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar. Dry the
sensors with a dry cloth.
