Caring for your Dryer

When finished

After each load

As necessary

Lubrication

Your tumble dryer needs very little attention. The following simple steps will keep it performing well.

Switch off electricity and remove plug.

Always clean the filter and turn the drum by hand to check that small items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.

Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose and any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint during the drying process.

Clean fluff from the area below the fluff filter and the rear vent tube.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. These could damage the machine.

Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.

We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for electrical and mechanical safety.
