Condenser sponge (for
products equipped with a heat
pump)
It is very important that the lint and fibres
are caught completely by the filters of
your machine which is equipped with
a condenser with heat pump. Failure in
functioning of the filters may cause a drop
in the performance or breakdown of your
machine. Therefore, in addition to the
“Cover Filter” and “Filter Drawer” filtering
phases in your machine, there is also a
“Condenser Sponge” piece for protection
purpose. If the “Cover Filter” and “Filter
Drawer” are functioning appropriately, ,
“the “Condenser Sponge” piece should
be checked every 3 months. Any layer of
accumulated lint on the sponge must be
removed.
C If the lint and fibre collected on the
sponge is sparse and small, you do
not have to clean the sponge.
To clean the condenser sponge;
1 Take out the condenser sponge from
its place.
