In order to guarantee optimum drying results under all circumstances, remember
that the fi lter must be cleaned regularly. Remember to check and clean the fi lter
after each drying cycle.
Important:
The fi lter must only be cleaned when the appliance is cold! Clean the fi lter following
the procedure described below:
Open the door.
Grasp the fi lter in both hands and push it upwards to remove it.
Carefully widen the top edge and open the fi lter.
Remove the fabric particles.
Close the fi lter, making sure that the catch closes at the correct position.
Clean the fi lter slide guides on the appliance, using a vacuum cleaner if neces-
sary.
Reposition the fi lter in the slide guides (fi g. 14).
All electric appliances may breakdown at some point. Remember to call a qualifi ed electrician in these
cases. However, many problems can be resolved without the need for external intervention.
Important: If a fault occurs, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply immediately.
Before calling the customer service centre, check the points listed below.
If the drier doesn't start
• Check that:
1) The appliance is plugged into the mains
supply.
2) The mains socket is working correctly:
2a) The fuse has not blown. (Check by
plugging in another appliance such as a
table lamp).
2b) All the instructions in the manual have
been followed.
If, after all these checks have been carried out, the appliance still does not work, inform the
nearest customer service centre.
When contacting the service centre, inform them of the appliance model, serial number and
type of fault.
This information will help the service centre operator in procuring the necessary spare parts,
thus guaranteeing a speedy and effi cient repair service.
To save space, the retailer can supply an accessory to enable the drier to be mounted on top of a front-
loading washing machine. The installer can provide the information on the model of appliance on which
this accessory can be fi tted.
