Maintenance and Care
Switching off the electricity
!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).
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.

Empty the water container after each cycle

Cleaning the dryer
●External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
●Periodically clean the surface of the stainless steel sensor inside the drum with vinegar to remove water contaminates. Apply carefully with a cloth, this will maintain the drying performance of the dryer. The sensor is located on the plastic vane inside the drum towards the front of the dryer. Rotate the drum if necessary to locate it.
●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 occassionally 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).
