Your Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple
steps will keep it performing well.
Switch off electricity and remove plug. Ensure hands are dry.
Always clean the filter, by rinsing under the tap or using a vacuum
cleaner. Turn the dryer by hand to check that small items like hand-
kerchiefs do not get missed.
Wipe the drum and seal with a damp cloth.
Fluff filter
Occasionally clean the surface of the stainless steel sensor inside the
drum with vinegar to remove water contaminates. Apply carefully with
a cloth this will maintain the drying performance of the dryer. The
sensor is approx 50mm (2") round and located between the vanes of
the drum towards the front of the dryer, rotate the drum if necessary
to locate it.
Every 6 months vacuum the front air intake grille and Vents at the rear
of the dryer, to remove the build up of fluff, lint or dust.
To remove accumulation of fluff from the door, exhaust duct and filter
areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.
Abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal
polish to clean any part of the machine.
Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by
the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.
We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for
electrical and mechanical safe.
