Also clean the outside, removing all fluff. Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet and in the inner part of the small door with a damp cloth. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door. Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Cleaning the air intake grille
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air intake grille at the back of the appliance.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted.

Cleaning the drum Emptying the water reservoir
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside the machine and is collected in a reservoir. The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used. If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light on the control panel comes on and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound for 1 minute. The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a programme. Proceed as follows: When your laundry does not reach the desired degree of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar. This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed in the drum (due to residues of detergent and softeners used in the washing, and to the lime contained in the water), which prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of dryness.
� Pull out the reservoir � Turn it upside down and let water flow down � Re-fit the reservoir

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly. After inserting the reservoir the START-button has to be depressed again to allow the programme to continue. Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
