Maintenance and Care

Switching off the electricity

GB
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 the door trim (see
diagram).
2. Clean the lint from the inside surface of
the filter.
3. Replace the filter correctly. Ensure the
filter is fully located flush into the door 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.

Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic
grip of the filter
upwards (see
diagram).

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items
(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.
