Cleaning your dryer
Before you start cleaning your dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power
(ie unplug the machine from the power socket).
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 filters
Cleaning the lint filter
z
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.
z
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.
z
The lint filter is located in the door opening (at the bottom).
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 surfaces 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.
