Manual

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 combina-

tion 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 Heat Pump Filter Unit

• Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove

Heat pump filter unit and clean any build up

of fluff from the surface of the filter by rinsing

it under running water or with your vacuum

cleaner.

We however recommend that you clean this

filter after every drying cycle to optimize the

dryers performance.

To remove Heat pump

filter unit:

1. Unplug the dryer and

open the door.

2. Remove the filter unit

by rotating the 4 clips

to the vertical position

then pulling the filter

unit towards you.

3. Separate the two

parts of the filter unit and clean the surface of

the filter.

! Warning: The front of

the heat pump is made

from thin metal plates.

Take care that you do

not damage these or cut

yourself when cleaning,

removing or replacing

the filter unit.

4.Whenever you clean the Heat pump filter

unit always clean any build up of fluff from

Can I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.

Can I connect a dryer to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dryer, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dryer is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

What is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified

The biggest advantage of a washer-dryer is that it takes less space. However, a separate dryer will be able to dry more than a washer-dryer. A washer-dryer also uses relatively more energy and requires more time.
