CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
When you have finished using your dryer
z
Unplug the dryer from the power socket.
z
Wipe around the door to remove any remaining condensation and foreign matter.
z
Clear the lint and condenser filters and empty the water tank (if not set up to
automatically drain).
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 to 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 door 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 door 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.
A warning light will flash at the start of every cycle to remind you to clean the door lint
filter, then turns off once you press to start your cycle. The warning light will flash on and
off during the cycle if the door lint filter becomes blocked. When this occurs the lint filter
should be cleaned immediately.
The door lint filter is located in the door
opening (at the bottom).
