FIRST TIME USE
Remove all the tapes used to hold items on the machine.
Before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any
dust that could have accumulated during transport. Slight odour
or vapour may be found if you open the door during its rst use,
this is normal and should only last a few minutes.
Make sure that the water tank is correctly inserted. Make sure
that the drain hose on the back of the dryer is properly
connected, either to the dryers's water tank or to your domestic
drainage system.
The dryer must be installed in a room with a temperature
ranging between 5°C and 35°C to ensure proper operation.

- remember to empty your water tank after each drying cycle.
- remember to clean your condenser unit regularly
(monthly).
- remember to clean your lter after each drying cycle.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: unplug the dryer during the cleaning and
maintenance procedures.
Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see Fig. A).
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or
other suitable drain, then place it back properly. Do not use the
dryer without having inserted the container back in place.
Cleaning the door lter after each cycle (see Fig. B).
Pull the lter out and clean it by removing the lint from the lter
surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner. For optimal
performance, dry up the lter before inserting it back in place.
Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the lter in place.
Remove the door lter as described below:
1. Open the door and pull upwards.
2. Open the lter and remove lint from all its parts. Replace the
lter correctly making sure it is fully seated.
The lter is an essential part for drying. It is intended to
collect the lint formed during the drying process. If the
lter is clogged, the air ow inside the dryer can become
seriously aected: this will increase the drying time and
energy consumption, and could damage the dryer. If this
procedure is not carried out properly, the dryer may not
start.
Cleaning the condenser unit (see Fig. C).
Remove the condenser unit regularly (monthly) and clean o
any u deposits from the plates by running cold water along
its rear end. The light on after several cycles is just a reminder to
carry on this activity periodically.
Removing the condenser:
1. Open the condenser cover, unlock the three catches by
turning them 90° anticlockwise.
2. Pull on the grip to remove the condenser.
3. Clean the surface of the seals.
4. Replace the unit with the arrows pointing upwards, while
making sure that the catches are securely xed.
