Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
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. Clean the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.
!Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.
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).
