Disconnecting the power supply
! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or
during cleaning and maintenance operations.
Cleaning the filter after each cycle
The filter is a fundamental component of the
dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that
form during drying.
Clean the filter once drying is completed, by
rinsing it under running water or cleaning it
with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter be-
come clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer
will be seriously hampered: drying times be-
comes longer and more energy is consumed.
Moreover, the dryer may become damaged.
The filter is located
behind of the dryer seal
(see Picture).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the filter’s plastic
handle upwards
(see
Picture).
2. Clean the fluff off
the filter and replace it
correctly. Ensure that
the filter is pushed fully
home.
!
Do not use the dryer unless
the filter has been replaced in its
holder.
Checking the drum after each cycle
Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handker-
chiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.
Cleaning the drum
!
Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning
agents to clean the drum.
A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum
surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or
cleaning agents such as fabric conditioners. This coloured
film does not affect the dryer’s performance.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
• The external metal and plastic parts and the rubber parts
can be cleaned with the aid of a damp cloth.
• Periodically check the vent hose and all other parts of the
venting system and remove any accumulations of fluff and
lint.
!
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
!
Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical
personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechani-
cal parts work safely
(see Assistance)
