CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
IMPORTANT:
- Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the seals before closing or water may leak.
- The dryer may leak if the Heat Exchanger is not correctly re-installed and locked in place.
The Heat Exchanger and ducting should be cleaned monthly or more
frequently if the dryer is in constant use.
CAUTION:
For maximum efficiency, the plates are made from very thin
aluminum and are easily damaged. At all times, handle the Heat Exchanger
carefully and avoid crushing the plates. Do not try to poke anything between
the plates or use a hard object or tool for cleaning.
REMOVING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
- Open the maintenance cover by pressing down on the two catches
- Twist both locking levers towards each other
- Remove the Heat Exchanger cover
- Pull out the Heat Exchanger
- Clean and drain the Heat Exchanger thoroughly by using a shower
nozzle or similar to remove any lint from inside the plates. Leave to
drain in a vertical orientation.
- Clean the seals
- Carefully push the Heat Exchanger back into the dryer, ensuring the
handle is at the bottom
- Lock the exchanger cover back in place by twisting the locking levers
- Close the maintenance cover until it locks into position
Whilst the Heat Exchanger is removed, clean as much fluff as possible from
inside the ducting by reaching into the dryer. In particular, keep the passage
from the fan clear (on the right hand side of the Heat Exchanger duct).
NOTE: The Heat Exchanger will discolour through use.
