8. HINTS AND TIPS
8.1 Ecological hints
• Do not use fabric softener to wash and
then dry. In the tumble dryer laundry
becomes soft automatically.
• Use the condensate as distilled water,
e.g. for steam ironing. If it is necessary
clean the condensate before (e.g. with
a coffee filter) to remove possible
small pieces of fluff.
• Always keep the airflow slots on the
bottom of the appliance clear.
• Use the load volumes which are speci-
fied in the programmes chapter.
• Make sure that is good airflow in the
appliance installation position.
• Clean the primary filter after each dry-
ing cycle.
• Clean the heat exchanger filters when
the applicable indicator comes into
the view on the control panel.
• Spin good the laundry before drying.
8.2 Water hardness and
conductivity
Water hardness can be different for dif-
ferent locations. Water hardness has an
effect on the water conductivity and the
operation of the conductivity sensor in
the appliance. If you know the value of
the water conductivity you can adjust the
sensor to dry with the better results.
To change the sensor conductivity:
1.
Turn the programme dial to availa-
ble programme.
2.
Push at the same time the Anti-
crease and Time Drying buttons and
hold down until one of the these
symbols go into view on the display:
–
low conductivity <300 μS/
cm
–
moderate conductivity
300-600 μS/cm
–
high conductivity >600
μS/cm
3.
Push the Start Pause button again
and again until you set necessary
level.
4.
To memorise setting push at the
same time the Anticrease and Time
Drying buttons.
8.3 Water container full —
indication
By default the indication LED is always
on. It comes into the view at the end of
the cycle or when the water container is
full. When you use an external equip-
ment to drain the container, the LED can
be off.
To activate or deactivate the indication:
1.
Turn the programme dial to availa-
ble programme.
2.
Push at the same time the Anti-
crease and Delay Start buttons and
hold down until you see the correct
setting:
– the LED is off and the symbol
goes into the view - The
LED is permanently off
– the LED is on and the symbol
goes into the view - The
LED is activated
9. CARE AND CLEANING
9.1 Cleaning the primary filter
At the end of each cycle the applicable
indicator (clean the primary filter) is on to
tell you that the primary filter must be
cleaned.
The filter collects the fluff. The
fluff occurs while the cloths are
dried in the tumble dryer.
