Condenser sponge (for 
products equipped with a heat 
pump)
It is very important that the lint and fibres 
are caught completely by the filters of 
your machine which is equipped with 
a condenser with heat pump. Failure in 
functioning of the filters may cause a drop 
in the performance or breakdown of your 
machine. Therefore, in addition to the 
“Cover Filter” and “Filter Drawer” filtering
phases in your machine, there is also a 
“Condenser Sponge” piece for protection
purpose. If the “Cover Filter” and “Filter
Drawer” are functioning appropriately, , 
“the “Condenser Sponge” piece should
be checked every 3 months.  Any layer of 
accumulated lint on the sponge must be 
removed.
C
  If the lint and fibre collected on the 
sponge is sparse and small, you do 
not have to clean the sponge.
To clean the condenser sponge;
1  Take out the condenser sponge from 
its place.
C
 You can reach the condenser filter
after taking out the filter drawer.
C
  A wire grid can be seen after taking 
out the condenser sponge.
2  Clean the sponge and place it properly 
back into its place. Put the sponge in
its housing between the wire grid and 
plastic frame.
Important:
•  When placing the condenser sponge,
make sure that some part or whole of 
lint particles among the pores is not 
important.
C
  If the lint and fibres collected in the 
drawer is sparse and small, you do 
not have to clean the sponge.
6  Place the sponge back into its place.
7  Close the filter unit as to lock the red 
button.
8.  Place the filter drawer back into its
place and push forward until a click 
sound is heard.
Important:
•  Drying without the filter sponge will
damage your machine! 
•  A dirty heat pump will cause longer
drying periods and higher energy 
consumption.
•  Place the sponge as shown below,
without forcing it. Pay attention to seat
the left side of the sponge into the 
appropriate housing in the filter drawer 
as marked in the picture.
•  Do not squeeze the sponge to make
it go into the inner frame as shown in 
the picture below.
