Cleaning the drum

 

 

 

 

 

!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. 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.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.

Empty the water container after each cycle

Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain.

Replace the water container securely.

Always check and empty the container before you start a new drying programme.

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

!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 the condenser unit

Periodically (every month) remove the condenser unit and clean any build up of fluff from between the plates by rinsing it under the tap with cold water.

This should be done with cold water from the rear of the condenser.

Removing the condenser:

1.Unplug the dryer and open the door.

2.Pull open the condenser cover (see diagram). Release the three catches by turning 90˚ counter- clockwise then pull on the grip and remove from the dryer.

3.Clean the surface of the seals and replace, making sure that the catches have been secured.

Cleaning the dryer

External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.

!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).
