CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
IMPORTANT:
- Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the seals before closing or water may leak.
- The dryer may leak if the Heat Exchanger is not correctly re-installed and locked in place.
The Heat Exchanger and ducting should be
cleaned monthly or more frequently if the
dryer is in constant use.
CAUTION:
For maximum efficiency, the
plates are made from very thin aluminium
and are easily damaged. At all times, handle
the Heat Exchanger carefully and avoid
crushing the plates. Do not try to poke
anything between the plates or use a hard
object or tool for cleaning.
