18 electrolux care and cleaning
Clean the condenser when the
Condenser light comes on.
The condenser is situated at the lower
part of the cabinet behind a small door.
To open the door, push the catch as
per picture.
During the drying cycle or at the end, it
is normal for water to be present on
the surface of the condenser insertion.
To pull out the condenser, first turn the
two red stops downwards and then
remove the condenser unit holding it at
the handle.
Clean it with a brush and rinse it under
the shower if necessary. Also clean the
outside, removing all fluff. Clean the
rubber seal round the condenser cabi-
net and in the inner part of the small
door with a damp cloth..
Do not use pointed
objects or utensils to clean the spaces
between the plates, as this could dam-
age the condenser and make it perme-
able. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red
stops upwards and close the door.
Water extracted from the laundry con-
denses inside the machine and is col-
lected in a reservoir. The reservoir must
be emptied after each drying cycle to
ensure efficient operation when the
machine is next used. The pilot light
Empty Tank reminds you of this opera-
tion.
