Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the elec-
tricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning
or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
Important: Do not use methylated spirit, diluents or simi-
lar products.
Cleaning the filters
To ensure that the dryer works efficiently, the lint filters
(micro-fine filter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after
every drying cycle.
1 Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff fil-
ters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters.
1.Open door
2.Use a damp hand to clean the micro-fine filter, which is
built into the lower part of the loading aperture.
3.Push down unlock button on large mesh filter.
Large mesh filter elevates.
4.Take out fine strainer.
5.Remove fluff from fine strainer. It is best to use a damp
hand for this purpose.
Clean the entire filter area
3 The strainer area does not have to be cleaned after
every drying cycle, but should be checked regularly
and cleaned of fluff if necessary.
6.To do this, grip the top of the large mesh filter and pull it
forwards until it comes loose from the two brackets.
7.Remove fluff from the entire filter area. It is best to use a
vacuum cleaner for this purpose.
8.Press both lugs of the large mesh filter into the brackets
on the loading door until they snap into place.
9.Re-insert fine strainer.
10.Press against the large mesh filter until it locks into the
interlock.
3 If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large mesh filter
will not snap into place and the door cannot be
closed.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove
any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.
Cleaning the door seal
Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth immediately after the
drying cycle has finished.
