Maintenance and cleaning

You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter. Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.

P1150

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. The FILTER light reminds you to carry out this operation.

After a while, a whitish coating due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right).

P1152

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the air condenser when the CONDENSER light illuminates.

The condenser is situated at the lower part of the cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push the catch as per picture.

P1151

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards as shown below and then remove the condenser unit holding it with the handle.

The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric looses fluff when line-drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
