Care and Cleaning of the Dryer
The Exterior:
Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control
panel and finishes may be damaged by some
laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply these products away from the dryer.
The fabric may then be washed and dried normally.
Damage to your dryer caused by these products is
not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter:
Clean the lint
filter before each use. Moisten
your fingers and reach into
the filter opening. Run your
fingers across the filter. Have
a qualified technician vacuum
the lint from the dryer once a
year.
The Exhaust Duct:
Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the
plug from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and
reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood:
Check from the outside that the
flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make
sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.) nesting
inside the duct or hood.
