The filters
For your tumble dryer to function properly, 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 (Fig. B), which is
under the coarse filter. 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. Do not use the dryer 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 five minutes, then spray hot water
through it (e.g. with a hand-held shower) from
both sides (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.
