[. . . ] 1 Important Information GB For your Condenser dryer to operate efficiently, you must follow the regular maintenance schedule shown below: Fluff Filter. Refit the filter - NEVER run the dryer without the filter in position. Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying cycle will affect the drying performance of your machine. - It will take longer to dry and as a result will use more electricity during drying. [. . . ] OUT: LOW heat IN: HIGH heat START Button The Empty Water indicator light signals that the water container is full and must be emptied. The light will take a few seconds to go out after replacing the empty water container, the dryer must be running for this to happen. Note: If the water container fills the indicator lights, the heat is turned off and your laundry will not dry. Rotate it clockwise, never counter-clockwise, until the indicator is pointing to the drying time you want to select (see Start and Programmes). Open the door make sure the filter is clean and in place and the water container is empty and in place (see Maintenance). Load the machine and make sure items are not in the way of the door seal. Choose the drying time by checking the Drying Guide table for the type of fabric you are drying (see Laundry). During the drying programme, you can check on your laundry and take out items that are dry while others continue drying. When you close the door again, press the START button in order to resume drying. About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, it enters the final COOL TUMBLE phase (fabrics are cooled), which should always be allowed to complete. Note: The COOL TUMBLE programme can be used to refresh fibres of clothing. All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps them soft and fluffy. The appliance has been designed and built according to international safety standards. These warnings are given for safety reasons and must be followed carefully. To minimise the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the following should be observed: ● Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water. — Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble phase should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. [. . . ] Empty the water container after each cycle Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain. Always check and empty the container before you start a new drying programme. Cleaning the dryer External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. — Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air intake grille, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust.
