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)
