Maintenance and Cleaning

You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents
or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Periodically clean the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff from the seal around the filter.
Proper cleaning ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the filter

Your dryer will only function well if the filter is clean.
The filter collects fluff which accumulates during
drying. Hence, it must be cleaned at the end of
each programme before removing the laundry with
a damp cloth.
The filter cannot be removed.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. All fabric
loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
