Maintenance and Care
Switching off the electricity
Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it, and
during maintenance activities.
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 by
depressing the clip.
3. Clean the lint from the
inside of the filter, and
replace it correctly. Ensure
the filter is fully located flush
into the tumble dryer trim.
Do not use dryer without replacing the filter.
Check the drum after each cycle
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.
Empty the Water Container after each cycle
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink
or other suitable drain. Replace container securely.
Always check and empty the container before you start a
new drying programme.
Cleaning the Condenser Unit
• Periodically (every month) remove 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.
To remove 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 dryer.
3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace with the
arrows pointing upwards making sure that the catches
have been secured.
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
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 authorized
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety
(see Service) .
