The condenser and ducting should be cleaned 3 or 4 times a year or more frequently if the dryer is
in constant use. See “CLEANING THE CONDENSER” opposite.
NOTE: The condenser will discolour through use.
REMOVING THE
CONDENSER
– Slide the condenser grille catch to the left.
– Firmly pull the condenser out.
RE-INSTALLING
THE CONDENSER
– Carefully push the condenser back into the machine,
until it is pushed fully home and a “click” is heard.
– Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the
grille seal before closing or water may leak.
– IMPORTANT: The dryer may leak if the condenser is
not correctly re-installed.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER
CAUTION: For maximum efficiency, the plates are made
from very thin aluminium and are easily damaged. Do not
try to poke anything between the plates or use a hard
object or tool for cleaning. At all times, handle the
condenser carefully and avoid crushing the plates.
– Remove the condenser (see opposite).
– Flush the fluff from between the plates under running
water and carefully shake off excess water.
– Whilst the condenser is removed, clean as much fluff
as possible from inside the ducting by reaching a hand
into the machine. In particular, keep the passage from
the fan clear (on the right hand side of the condenser
duct).
– After cleaning, re-install the condenser (see opposite).
