CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The tumble dryer does not require special care. To best ensure a long life, however, certain precautions are
recommended (see page 3).

CLEANING THE LINT FILTER

You should clean the lint from the lint filter before every load. To do this, follow the instructions below:

1. Remove the filter from its holder by pulling it upwards.

2. Open the filter and gently run your hand across it to

collect the lint. If you prefer, you can clean it with a
soft brush.

3. Replace the filter into its holder.

NOTE: If you use dryer sheets, the filter should be

washed periodically with a mild soap and water
to remove any small particles that may have col-
lected in the holes.

CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL

WARNING!

Before performing the operations described below, make sure that the power is off and the unit
is unplugged.

To clean the control panel, use only a warm, damp cloth. To prevent penetration of liquid into the door lock
and electrical components, never spray water or cleaning solvents on the control panel.

Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the
finish and could remove the writing on the control panel. Some paper towels may also scratch the finish.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST DUCT

About once a year you should remove the exhaust duct and clean it. At this time, you should also clean the
exhaust outlet on the machine and the ventilation duct.

Periodically, you should check the dryer exhaust outside to be sure the air flow is strong and nothing is
blocking the vent.
