cloth and soapy water only.

damp cloth only.

NOTICE:

between the window and the seal. This does not affect

the proper operation of your dryer.

Cleaning the lint filter area

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD
Follow these instructions when cleaning the lint filter

area.

▯

bristles) for cleaning inside the lint filter area.

around the lint filter opening and no more than six

inches below the opening.

filter area.

consumption.

The filter should be cleaned before or after each drying

process.

the filter immediately.

Tip:

The program is interrupted automatically.

To clean the lint filter:

Turn the Program Selector to switch off the appliance.

process. The drum, the door and the laundry may

be hot.
