Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the appliance's performance and longevity.
Care and Cleaning:
- Cleaning the filter: The filter symbol appears on the display at the end of each cycle, indicating it needs cleaning. The manual provides a step-by-step visual guide for removing and cleaning the filter.
- Emptying the water container: The water container needs to be emptied when full or at the end of a programme. The manual shows how to remove and empty it. The water can be used as an alternative to distilled water for steam ironing after removing dirt residues with a filter.
- Cleaning the Heat Exchanger: The manual provides a step-by-step visual guide for accessing and cleaning the heat exchanger, which is indicated by a "check Heat Exchanger" symbol on the display. This involves opening the heat exchanger lid and cover, and carefully cleaning the components.
- Cleaning the drum: Use a standard neutral soap detergent and a moist cloth to clean the inner surface of the drum and drum lifters. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool.
- Cleaning the control panel and housing: Use a standard neutral soap detergent and a moist cloth. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth. Do not use furniture cleaning agents or agents that can cause corrosion.
- Cleaning the airflow slots: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff from the airflow slots.
Troubleshooting:
The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as:
- Appliance not activating or programme not starting (check mains plug, fuse, door closure, Start/Pause button).
- Appliance door not closing (check filter installation, laundry caught in seal).
- Appliance stopping during operation (empty water container, press Start/Pause).
- Long cycle time or unsatisfactory drying (check load size, laundry weight, filter cleanliness, laundry wetness, room temperature, programme selection).
- Error codes (deactivate/activate appliance, contact service centre if persistent).
