Important information AUS To ensure that the condenser dryer functions efficiently, the following routine maintenance procedures must be carried out: Fluff filter CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the filter after each drying cycle. Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle can undermine drying performance as the machine takes longer to dry and thus consumes more energy. Water container empty the water container after each drying cycle.
PAGE 3
Condenser unit - remove any fluff build-up from the condenser on a monthly basis. AUS Step 1 Open the condenser cover - grip the handle and pull towards you. Step 2 Remove the condenser by turning the 3 catches, then pull the condenser towards you. (It is normal for some residual water to be left in the tubes). Step 3 Clean the condenser with running water over the rear side to remove any fluff deposits.

Installation Electrical connections Install the dryer far from gas ranges, stoves, radiators or hobs, as flames may damage it. If the dryer is installed below a worktop, ensure there are 10 mm between the upper panel of the dryer and any objects above it, and 15 mm between the sides of the machine and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This ensures adequate air circulation. Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following: Make sure your hands are dry.

Sport Intensive Programme This programme is designed for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 80 minutes, although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the wash cycle. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.
