Cleaning of the silver ion filter and of the electrostatic filter (certain models only) To clean the silver ion dust filter, the electrostatic filter must be temporarily removed. To clean the filters, use a vacuum cleaner at medium power. The silver ion filter can be washed with lukewarm water. Leave to dry completely and replace. The electrostatic filter is not washable but it should be replaced at least once every two seasons. The electrostatic filter can be bought from shops selling De'longhi accessories or authorized service centers. START OF SEASON OPERATIONS Make sure the power cable and plug are undamaged and the electrical system is efficient. Follow the set-up/installation instructions precisely. END OF SEASON OPERATIONS Before putting the appliance away or moving it to another location, empty any water left in the tanks. Emptying the tank Pull out the tank as described in the section: "FILLING THE TANK". Unhook the drain hose on the left of the tank (fig. 39-40) and place the end in a receptacle. Remove the cap and drain off the water left in the tank. 40 Emptying the internal tank To facilitate this operation, at the start of the season, replace the spout cap (G) with the drain hose + cap (U). Place a receptacle (such as a jug or bottle) near the spout on the back of the appliance (fig. 41). Remove the cap and run off any water left. When completely empty, replace the cap. IMPORTANT: the tank could contain as much as 4 pints (2 litres) of water. 41 • After performing the 2 operations descri- bed above, operate the appliance in fan only mode for about half an hour. This dries any water remaining inside the appliance. • Turn the appliance off and unplug from the 39 outlet. • Remove the air exhaust hose and condensa- te drain hose. • Clean the dust filters. • Cover the appliance to avoid dust. 18
