In order to guarantee optimum drying results under all circumstances, remember
that the filter must be cleaned regularly. Remember to check and clean the filter
after each drying cycle.
Important:
The filter must only be cleaned when the appliance is cold! Clean the filter following
the procedure described below:
Open the door.
Grasp the filter in both hands and push it upwards to remove it.
Carefully widen the top edge and open the filter.
Remove the woollen particles.
Close the filter, making sure that the catch closes at the correct position.
Clean the filter slide guides on the appliance, using a vacuum cleaner if neces-
sary.
Reposition the filter in the slide guides (fig. 14).
All electric appliance may breakdown at some time. Remember to call a qualified 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.

Check that:

supply.
2) The mains socket is working correctly:
2a)The fuse has not blown. (Check by plug-
ging 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 efficient repair.
The retailer can provide an accessory to enable the drier to be mounted on top of a front-loading
washing machine, thus saving space. The installer will inform you of the appliance model for which
this option is possible.
