SOUNDS

(depending on the model)

INFORMATION!

In the initial stage of drying or during drying, the compressor and the pump may cause noise

which, however, does not affect the dryer operation.

Humming sound: this is the sound of the compressor unit. The level of noise depends on the program

and the drying stage.

Whirring sound: from time to time, the compressor unit is ventilated.

Pumping or liquid flowing sound: the pump is pumping the condensate into the condensate tank.

Clicking sound: clicking noise is caused by automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger (compressor).

Rustling water sound: can be heard during automatic cleaning.

Rattling sound: can be heard during drying if laundry has any hard parts (buttons, zippers etc.)

(unplug the power cord from the outlet).

Lift the net filter cover.

By hand or a cloth drag the net filter to remove

the lining of fibers and threads.

NOTE!

The door net filter may feel quite loose when

cleaning/removing fibers and threads. This is

normal because of large net filter area in

combination with high working temperatures

inside the tumble dryer.

If necessary, clean the net filter housing and door

gasket as well.

Close the net filter cover.

Cleaning and maintenance

If it is necessary to clean the net filter from the

back, unscrew the screw and turn the filter from

the locked to the unlocked position. Pull out the

entire filter unit and clean it thoroughly, and return

the filter unit to its original position after cleaning.

Turn the filter from the unlocked to the locked

position and tighten the screw.

use solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the appliance (please observe the

recommendations and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning agents).

Wipe all parts of the dryer with a soft cloth until dry.

INFORMATION!

Keep the area around the dryer clean and cool. Dust, heat, and humidity will extend the drying

time.
