Care and cleaning.

Care and Cleaning of the Dryer
The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control
panel and finishes may be damaged by some
laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply these products away from the
dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried
normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these
products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint
filter before each use.
Moisten your fingers and
reach into the filter opening.
Run your fingers across the
filter. Have a qualified
technician vacuum the lint
from the dryer once a year.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the
1
plug from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
2
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and
3
reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check from the outside that the
flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make
sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.)
nesting inside the duct or hood.
