Cleaning and care

Warning!

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.

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 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 drying but it
