- Steam Function (for applicable models): Uses distilled water or condensed water from the machine's tank. Not for use with mains water or additives. Stains should be removed before using steam programs. Only for refreshing non-dirty or non-stained laundry with unpleasant odors.
Maintenance Features
- Lint Filter Cleaning: The lint filter must be cleaned before or after each drying cycle. It can be cleaned by hand or with a soft cloth. If a layer builds up on the filter pores, it should be washed with warm water and dried completely before reinstallation. The lint filter housing can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
- Loading Door Inner Surface: The entire inner surface of the loading door and gasket should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth after each drying process.
- Sensors Cleaning: Temperature sensors, which detect laundry dryness, should be cleaned 4 times a year by hand to remove fluff accumulation. Metal tools should not be used, and the machine should be cool.
- Water Tank Draining: The water tank, which collects condensed water, must be drained after each drying cycle. If direct water drain connection is used, manual draining is not necessary.
- Condenser Cleaning (for condenser models): The condenser should be cleaned after every 30 drying cycles or once a month. This involves unlocking and pulling out the condenser, cleaning it with pressurized water, and then securely placing it back in its housing.
- Flue Cleaning (for flue unit models): The flue should be cleaned according to instructions.
- Illumination Lamp: If an illumination lamp is used, its replacement requires calling an Authorized Service agent.
