The appliance requires a 220-240 V, 50 Hz electrical connection with a 16 Ampere fuse.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is essential for the dryer's optimal performance and longevity.
Cleaning the Lint Filter:
The lint filter should be cleaned after every program.
- Open the loading door.
- Pull up the lint filter to remove it.
- Use hands or a soft cloth to clean the lint.
- Close and refit the lint filter.
If a layer of lint accumulates on the filter surface, wash the filter with warm water and clean the layer. Dry the filter thoroughly before reinstalling it.
Emptying the Water Tank:
The water tank needs to be emptied after every program.
- Pull the drawer cover and carefully take out the tank.
- Empty the water in the tank.
- If there is lint accumulated on the discharge cap in the tank, clean it with water.
- Refit the water tank.
The water condensed in the water tank is not suitable for human consumption.
Cleaning the Condenser:
The condenser should be cleaned after every 30 drying processes or once a month.
- Open the loading door and wait for it to cool down.
- Open the plinth and release the 2 cover locks of the condenser.
- Hold the condenser by the plastic part and pull it out.
- Clean it with a showerhead and wait for the water to drain off.
- Fully insert the condenser into its seat and lock the 2 locks.
- Close the plinth cover.
Cleaning the Humidity Sensor:
The humidity sensors, located inside the machine, should be cleaned 4 times a year.
- Open the loading door.
- If the machine is still hot, wait for it to cool down.
- Using a soft cloth soaked in vinegar, wipe the metal surfaces of the sensor and dry them.
Cleaning the Inner Surface of the Loading Door:
The inner surface of the loading door and the gasket should be cleaned after each drying process using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use metal tools to clean the metal surfaces of the sensor.
Troubleshooting:
The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section with common problems, their reasons, and solutions, such as:
- Drying process takes a long time: May be due to a clogged lint filter, clogged condenser, blocked ventilation grills, or an overloaded dryer. Solutions include cleaning filters, opening windows, and not overloading.
- Laundry comes out damp: Similar reasons as above, plus incorrect program selection.
- Dryer not opening/program not starting: Check if the plug is fitted, door is closed, program is set, or child lock is active.
- Water leaking from loading door: May be due to lint accumulation on inner surfaces of the door or gasket.
- Water tank warning symbol on/flashing: Water tank is full or discharge hose is bent.
- Condenser cleaning warning symbol on: Condenser is unclean.
