Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if
necessary.
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet
and in the inner part of the small door with a damp
cloth.
Important!
Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and
close the door.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.
Emptying the water reservoir
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine
is next used.
If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light
on the control panel comes on and the
programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The
buzzer will sound for 1 minute.
The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a
programme.

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
Push it until it clicks.
After inserting the reservoir the START-button
has to be depressed again to allow the programme to
continue.
Handy tip
: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
Cleaning the drum
When your laundry does not reach the desired degree
of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either
too dry or too damp,we advise you to clean the inside
of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar.
This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed
in the drum (due to residues of detergent and
softeners used in the washing, and to the lime
contained in the water), which prevents the probes
from detecting the correct degree of dryness.
Cleaning the air intake grille
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air
intake grille at the back of the appliance.
