Maintenance and Care
Switching off the electricity
!
Unplug your dryer when not using it,
when cleaning it and during all
maintenance operations.
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 on next page
).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards.
2. Open the filter and
clean the lint from the
inside.
3. Replace it correctly.
Ensure the filter is fully
located flush into the
tumble dryer trim.
4. Remove any lint that has built up on the
inside of the door and around the door
seal.
!
Do not use the dryer without replacing
the filter.
Cleaning the heat pump filter unit
Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove
the heat pump filter unit and clean any
build up of fluff from the surface of the filter.
However, we recommend that you clean
this filter after EVERY drying cycle to
optimise the dryers performance.
To removing the heat pump filter unit:
1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.
2. Pull open the heat pump filter unit cover
(
see diagram on next page
).
Release the 4 clips to the vertical position
then pull the filter unit towards you.
3. Separate the two parts
of the filter and clean
the surface of the filter.
!
The front of the heat pump is made
from thin metal plates.
Take care that you
do not damage these or cut yourself when
cleaning, removing or replacing the heat
pump filter unit.
Whenever you clean the heat pump filter
unit always clean any build up of fluff from
the surface of the metal plates.
4. Carefully clean this fluff
off with a damp cloth,
sponge or a vacuum
cleaner.
Never use your fingers.
5. Reassemble the two parts of the filter,
clean the seals and replace with the 4
clips in the horizontal position, make
sure that the catches are secure.
