Caring For Your Dryer
Cleaning your Dryer
Cleaning the Control Panel and Outer Surfaces of the Dryer
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring cleaners, as these will
damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.
Cleaning the Inside of your Dryer
It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your dryer. If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it,
remove this and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Do not leave any metal objects in the drum, as these may cause rust.
Cleaning the Lint Filter
• Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing. Fibres (ie lint) released from the clothes during the drying
cycle are collected in the lint filter.
• It is important to clean the lint filter after every load, as the lint produced in the drying process can become a fire
hazard if it is allowed to accumulate in or around your dryer.
• The lint filter is located in the door opening (at the bottom).
• There is a warning light that will flash at the beginning of every cycle to remind you to clean the filter. The
warning light will also flash on and off during the cycle if the filter becomes blocked. The filter should be cleaned
as soon as the ‘Lint Filter’ light starts flashing. Lint becomes a fire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the
efficiency of your dryer.
To Clean the Filter:
1. Open the dryer door.
2. Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and out of the filter slot. Open it out
and wipe the surface clean with your hand.
3. Close the lint filter and place it back in the opening. Ensure the filter is
fitted correctly back in place before operating the dryer.
Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.
