Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Placement: Position the dryer on a firm, level surface. Ensure there's adequate space around the unit for ventilation (at least 10 cm clearance on sides and back).
- Power Connection: Plug the dryer into a standard earthed electrical socket. Do not use extension cords.
- Water Tank: The dryer collects condensed water in a removable tank. This tank must be emptied after each cycle or when indicated. Alternatively, you can connect the supplied drain hose to a suitable drain for continuous emptying.
- Leveling: Use a spirit level and adjust the feet at the bottom of the dryer to ensure it is perfectly level. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.
Compatibility
- No Venting Required: As a heat pump dryer, it does not require an external vent, offering greater flexibility in placement within your home.
- Electrical: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets. Check your local voltage requirements.
Care & Maintenance
Regular care ensures optimal performance and longevity:
- Lint Filter Cleaning: The lint filter, located inside the door, must be cleaned after every cycle. Remove lint to maintain airflow and energy efficiency.
- Open the door and pull out the lint filter.
- Remove accumulated lint by hand or with a soft brush.
- Reinsert the filter firmly.
- Water Tank Emptying: Empty the water condensation tank after each drying cycle. If you've connected a drain hose, this step is not necessary.
- Heat Exchanger/Condenser Cleaning: The heat exchanger (condenser) should be cleaned periodically, typically every few months or as indicated by the machine. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on accessing and cleaning this component, as it may involve rinsing or brushing.
- Drum Cleaning: Occasionally wipe the drum interior with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
- Exterior Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
