Cleaning the tumble dryer condenser (applicable to heat pump dryer)
If the symbol Condenser flashes on the display, inspect the condenser and its compartment. If it is dirty, clean it. Do the check not less than once a month as a dirty condenser will cause poor drying results.
Warning: Do not touch the metal surface with bare hands. Risk of injury. Wear protective gloves. Clean carefully to avoid damaging the metal surface.
Note: Do not operate the tumble dryer when the condenser is blocked with fluff. This could cause damage to the tumble dryer. This also increases energy consumption.
