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
“CoverFilter”and“FilterDrawer”filtering
phases in your machine, there is also a
“CondenserSponge”pieceforprotection
purpose.Ifthe“CoverFilter”and“Filter
Drawer” are functioning appropriately, ,
“the“CondenserSponge”pieceshould
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.
