Care and maintenance
Disconnecting the power supply
! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning and maintenance operations.
Cleaning the filter after each cycle
The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying.
Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will be seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and more energy is consumed.
Moreover, the dryer may become damaged. The filter is located in front of the dryer seal (see Picture).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the filter’s plastic handle upwards (see Picture).
2. Clean the fluff off the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure that the filter is pushed fully home.
! Do not use the dryer unless the filter has been replaced in its holder.
Checking the drum after each cycle
Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.
Cleaning the drum
! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-softeners. This coloured film does not affect the dryer’s performance.
Emptying the water container after each cycle
Remove the water container and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain outlet, then replace it correctly.
Always check the water container and empty it before starting a new drying cycle.
- Failure to empty the water container may cause the following:
- The dryer stops heating (thus 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 cycle.
Cleaning the condenser unit.
- Remove the condenser (see Picture below) unit regularly (monthly) and clean off any fluff deposits from the plates by rinsing it with cold water running on the rear end of the condenser.
Removing the condenser:
1. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply and open the door.
2. Open the condenser cover (see Picture below), unlock the three catches by turning them 90° anti-clockwise, then pull on the grip to remove the condenser.
3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace the unit with the arrows pointing upwards, while making sure that the catches are securely fixed.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
- The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.
! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).
Quick Tips
!Remember to clean your filter and Condenser unit after each load.
! Remember to empty your water container after each load.
! Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST!

Drying times
Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:
- Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.
- Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.
- Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry.
- Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying can be left longer.
- Heat setting.
- Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
- Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.
! Do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.
The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard dry programmes.
The Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you to select the most suitable timed option.
The weight refers to dry items.
