Maintenance and Care
Heat pump
filter unit
Empty the water container after each
cycle
Pull the container out of the dryer
and remove either the small or
large cap and empty it into a
sink or other suitable drain.
Refit the cap and replace the
container securely.
! Always check and empty the container before you
start a new drying programme.
! Failure to empty the water container may cause
the following:
- The dryer will stop heating (so 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 drying cycle.
Check the drum after each cycle
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
Cleaning the drum
! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel
cleaning agents to clean the drum.
A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless
steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of
water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner
from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the
dryer performance.
