CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
Emptying the water collection tank
During the drying cycle steam condenses into water and is
collected in the water tank, located at the top left of the dryer.
It is important to empty the water tank after every load.
There is an indicator light that will illuminate when the water
tank needs emptying. A user warning will also be displayed on
the screen (refer to the 'Before you call for service' section).
If the water tank becomes full during operation, the dryer will
go into ‘Cool’ mode for several minutes, then pause and beep
to alert you. Empty the tank and touch to resume the cycle.
Note: you do not need to empty the water tank if you have
set up the drain hose to drain the water automatically
(refer to ‘Installation instructions’ page 15).
To empty the water tank:
1 Remove the water tank by holding onto the handle and pulling
outwards gently to remove it. Hold tank with both hands and
ensure that you keep the tank level when it is being removed
to prevent the water collected from spilling.
2 Pour the water down the sink or into a bucket, and then put
the tank back in place.
IMPORTANT!
● ●
Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
● ●
Never run the dryer without the water tank in place.
● ●
If the water tank becomes full, the tumble dryer will pause drying and will sound
an alarm. You must empty the water tank before the dryer can continue drying.
Empty the tank, replace it back in the housing then touch
to resume the cycle.
Cleaning the condenser
If the ‘Condenser’ indicator light starts to flash this indicates
that the condenser needs to be cleaned. The condenser should
be cleaned once a month. The light illuminates when you first
turn the machine on, then turns off once the button has
been touched.
To clean the condenser:
1 Open the condenser cover.
2 Turn the two condenser lock levers 90 degrees then pull out
the condenser.
3 Clean the condenser with pressurized water and wait until the
water drains.
4 Replace the condenser.
5 Turn the two condenser lock levers to lock the condenser back
in place again. Make sure that these locks are engaged securely.
6 Close the condenser cover.
