Care 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.

Cleaning the door

Important:

do not use methylated spirit, thinners or similar product.

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

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumu- lates 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 is on to remind you of this operation.

The filter in the inner door may 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 loses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. After a while, a withish patina 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 open- ing as per picture (it can be posi- tioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right).

Important:

Do not use the appliance with- out filters.
