3. Replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is
fully located flush into the tumble dryer
trim.

(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
Cleaning the drum
!
Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel
cleaning agents to clean the drum.
A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless
steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of
water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner
from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the
dryer performance.
Cleaning
●
External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
●
Periodically check the vent tube and any
permanent venting fixture to make sure that there
has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and
remove it.
●
Remove lint that collects around the filter and the
outlet vents.
!
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
!
Your dryer uses special bearing components which
do not need lubrication.
!
Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety
(
see Service
).
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.
Small items could also become trapped in
the filter.
When finished drying, therefore, 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: dry-
ing 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. Open the filter and clean the
lint from the inside.
