Maintenance and Care
GB
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). Removing the filter:
1.Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).
2.Open the filter and clean the lint from the inside.
3.Replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.
4.Remove any lint that has built up on the inside of the door and around the door seal.
!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 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.
Check the drum after each cycle
Cleaning the dryer
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
Empty the water container after each cycle
Pull the container out of the dryer and remove either the small or large cap and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain. Refit the cap and replace the container securely.
!Always check and empty the container before you start a new drying programme.
●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, 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).
