Quick Tips

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

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 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 heat pump 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).

Remember to clean the door filter and heat pump filter after each load.

Remember to empty the water container after each load.

!Doing BOTH the above will keep your appliance working at its BEST.
