Caring for your dryer

Clean your dryer with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use 
scouring cleaners as they can damage the paint and plastic surfaces.

Before you start cleaning your AeroCare dryer, ensure that it is 
disconnected from the power (ie remove the plug from the power 
outlet), or that KEYLOCK has been activated (refer to page 53).

Interior

The drum is rust-resistant. However, colored fabrics which lose 
color or bleed during washing may cause discoloration of the 
dryer drum. We recommend that the dryer drum be cleaned with 
a cloth using a paste made from detergent and water, or a non-
abrasive cleaner. Complete the cleaning by thoroughly wiping the 
drum with a moist cloth, and then drying several wet rags or old 
towels for 20 to 30 minutes using the TIME DRY cycle before using 
the dryer normally.

Exterior

Wipe off any spills or washing compounds/products. Wipe or dust with a damp cloth. Do not strike 
the surface with sharp objects. Pre-treatment products may damage parts of your dryer. Please 
treat soiled or stained items where the pre-treatment will not come in contact with dryer surfaces.

Cleaning the control panel and machine top 

Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, and wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring 
cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.

Important!

The SmartTouch™ Control Dial is not designed to be removable for cleaning. Do not attempt to 

remove the dial.

Pre-treatment sprays

Do not use pre-treatment sprays or liquids on or near your dryer as they can damage your 
machine’s control panel as well as any of its plastic parts. Damage to your dryer caused by pre-
treatment products will not be covered by your warranty.

Stains

If stains appear inside the drum of your machine, mix a detergent with water to create a paste (or 
use a non-flammable liquid cleaner) and wipe over the stain with a soft cloth. Then dry several 
wet rags or old towels for 20 to 30 minutes using the TIME DRY cycle to remove all traces of the 
cleaner.
