Clean And Check The Lint Filter; Cleaning The Machine - GIRBAU ED Series Operating And Maintenance Instruction Manual

11.1. Clean and check the lint filter

CAUTION!
THE LINT FILTER SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY AND CLEANED WHENEVER DEEMED
NECESSARY.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER IS VERY IMPORTANT.
THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE FILTER REDUCES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DRYER AND
INCREASES THE RISK OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
CHECK THAT THE LINT FILTER IS NOT TORN OR BROKEN.
A BROKEN LINT FILTER ALLOWS LINT TO PASS INTO THE EXHAUST DUCT. THIS BUILD UP IS AN
IMPEDIMENT FOR EXTRACTION AND POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER OR WITH THE LINT FILTER BROKEN OR
DAMAGED.
FOR GREATER SAFETY, USE THE PERIODIC LINT FILTER CLEANING INDICATION IN THE GENERAL
SETTINGS CONFIGURATION MENU.
 Disconnect and mechanically lock the machine's power
switch, or failing that, the external automatic switch
breaker.
 Remove the front cover to access the air filter.
 Remove the air filter by pressing the top side downwards
(Figure 11.1).
 Clean the lint and fabric residues from the filter.
Compressed air, a soft brush or a cloth or sponge
dampened with water can be used to remove the lint
accumulated in the filter (pay special attention to removing
traces of lint from the edges).
 Remove any lint that may have accumulated in the area
around the filter.
 Never use abrasive products, solvents or tools that could
cut or damage the filter.
 Refit the filter.
 Refit the front cover for accessing the filter.
 Connect the power supply for the machine.

 The outside of the dryer should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth or sponge.
 To remove remains of grease, use neutral soap, rinse and dry properly.
