CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Dryer

● Clean the filter and empty the water container after every drying cycle.

● Regularly clean the condenser.

● After each period of use, wipe the inside of the drum and leave the door open for a while to allow circulation of air to dry it.

● Wipe the outside of the machine and the door with a soft cloth.

● DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaning agents.

● To prevent the door sticking or the build up of lint clean the inner door and gasket with a damp cloth after every drying cycle.

WATER CONTAINER

The water removed from the laundry during the drying cycle is collected in a container inside the door of the dryer. When the container is full the indicator on the control panel will light, and the container MUST be emptied. However, we recommend that the container is emptied after each drying cycle.

NOTE: Very little water will collect during the first few cycles of a new machine as an internal reservoir is filled first.

To Remove the Container

1. Gently pull out the water container holding the handle. (A) When it is full the water container will weigh about 6 kg.

2. Tilt the water container to empty the water out through the spout. (B)

When empty, replace the water container back as shown; (C) first insert the base of the container into position as shown (1) then gentle push the top into position (2).

3. Press Button to restart the cycle.

NOTE: If you have the option of drainage near to the dryer you can use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drainage for the water collected in in the container of the dryer. This means that you don't have to empty the water container.
