Maintenance and Care
Check the drum after each cycle
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
Cleaning the drum
! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel
cleaning agents to clean the drum.
A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless
steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of
water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner
from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the
dryer performance.
Cleaning
External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Periodically check the vent tube and any
permanent venting fixture to make sure that there
has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and
remove it.
Remove lint that collects around the filter and the
outlet vents.
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which
do not need lubrication.
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety
(see Service).
Switching off the electricity
Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it
and during all maintenance operations.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important part of your dryer:
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.
Small items could also become trapped in the filter.
When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum
cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow
inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying
times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It
may also damage your dryer.
The filter is found in front
of the dryer trim
(see diagram).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of
the filter upwards (see
diagram).
2. Open the filter and clean the lint from
the inside.
3. Replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located
flush into the tumble dryer trim.
4. Remove any lint that has built up on the inside of the
door and around the door seal.
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.
