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.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Periodically (every month) remove the 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. 
Removing the 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 
the dryer.

3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace, 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 the 
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 authorised

technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety
(

see Service

).

Switching off the electricity

!

Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning

it and during all maintenance operations.

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. Clean the filter and replace it correctly.

Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble
dryer trim.

!

Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.

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 the water container securely.
Always check and empty the container before you
start a new drying programme.

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
