Running maintenance: condenser models

Emptying the collection tank

This is located at the bottom of the machine and
collects the water extracted from the items
during drying. To empty this, release it from
its holder by pulling it towards you. (Figs. 15
and 16)
The collection tank must be emptied after
each drying cycle.
If you do not do this, the following cycle will be
interrupted. As soon as you empty and replace
the tank, the cycle continues.
Risk of frost: when there is risk of frost,
empty the water from the collection tank
Moving your machine: empty the water
from the collection tank if you wish to move
or tip up your machine.

Cleaning the condenser:

The condenser must be cleaned twice a
month.
Disconnect the power cable from the mains
supply before cleaning the condenser.
- Tip up the grill at the front of the machine (Fig.
17)
- Unlock the condenser (Fig. 17)
- Remove it carefully (Fig. 18)
- Remove the fluff from the condenser
- Only clean the condenser with running water
under the tap (Fig. 19)
- After cleaning, ensure that all the pipes are
"unblocked" and that the fins are clean.
- Rub it over superficially
- Remove all the fibres deposited on the surface
of the condenser's holder and those that have
accumulated around the water drain (Fig. 20)
- Replace the condenser, lock it in place and
refasten the grill
Important: when re-installing
condenser, keep the condenser planted
firmly in its holder while locking it in place.

Incidents that may occur

Some incidents may occur during your use of the machine: we provide some potential solutions
below. (1) indicates an extraction model. (2) indicates a condenser model.
Breakdowns Check whether
The drier does not start, •The socket is switched on
•The Start/Stop button is pressed in

long, check whether!
•The load has been sufficiently spun (500 revs/min
minimum but spinning at 850 revs/min produces shorter
drying times
•The temperature in the room is not too high (especially
if the room is small) ; if necessary, open the door or the
window
•The air inlets and outlets are clear enough to ensure the
necessary air circulation (2) or that the extraction pipe
does not have too many bends (1).
