CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

Cleaning the sensors

There are sensors in your dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not. These sensors 
need to be cleaned periodically (we recommend approximately four times a year).

To clean the sensor:

Open the door of your dryer. Allow the dryer 
to cool if drying has been carried out.

Locate the metal sensors just behind 
the lint filter. 

Wipe the sensors with a soft cloth, 
dampened with vinegar and dry with a 
clean dry soft cloth.
