Caring for your machine
Your Hotpoint Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple steps will keep it performing well.
When finished. Switch off electricity and remove plug, close the door.
After each load. Turn the drum by hand to check that small items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.
Important
Cleaning the Filter: It is essential that the lint is removed from the filter every time the Dryer is used. Failure to do this will result in poor drying performance and may lead to mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Occasionally wash the filter in tepid water and lightly use an old toothbrush to remove any lint present after normal cleaning. Ensure filter is completely
dry before
Every week. Wipe out the drum with a damp cloth.
As necessary. Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon polish only.
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.
Hotpoint strongly recommends that all of its appliances are regularly checked for electrical and mechanical safety.
Lubrication: Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by the user is not necessary and must not be attempted .
