Maintenance and Care
TD4047 Issue 2
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.
Clean 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.
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.
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 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.

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 clean the surface of the stainless steel
sensor inside the drum with vinegar to remove water
contaminates. Apply carefully with a cloth this will
maintain the drying performance of the dryer. The
sensor is. located on the plastic vane inside the drum
towards the front of the dryer. Rotate the drum if
necessary to locate it
•
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).
