Maintenance and Care
Switching off the electricity | Empty the Water Container after each cycle |
GB Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it, and during maintenance activities.
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink
or other suitable drain. Replace container securely. GB Always check and empty the container before you start a
new drying programme.
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.
When finished drying, 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 by
depressing the clip.
3. Clean the lint from the inside of the filter, and
replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.
Do not use dryer without replacing the filter.
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.
