Care and cleaning

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from
the electricity supply, before you can carry
out any cleaning or maintenance work.
E E x x t t e e r r n n a a l l c c l l e e a a n n i i n n g g
se only soap and water and then dry
U
thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit,
diluents or similar products.
C C l l e e a a n n i i n n g g t t h h e e d d o o o o r r
Clean periodically the interior part of
the door to remove any fluff from the
seals around the filter. Accurate clean-
ing ensures correct drying.
C C l l e e a a n n i i n n g g t t h h e e f f i i l l t t e e r r s s
Your dryer will only function well if the fil-
ters are clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which
accumulates during drying and they
must therefore be cleaned at t t he e e nd
of e e ach p p rogramme, before removing
the laundry, with a damp cloth.
The light is on to remind you this
operation.
The filter in the inner door must be

removed for cleaning.
Do not be al a rmed by the amount of fl u ff. It i s not
due to excessi v e wear caused by the dryer .
All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes
un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it sim-
ply collects in the filter. After a while, a withish
patina due to detergent residue on laundry
forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean
the filters with warm water using a brush.
Remove the filter in the door opening as per
picture (it can be positioned with the tooth
facing to the left or to the right).

When your laundry does not reach the desired
degree of dryness, in other words, when it
turns out either too dry or too damp, we
advise you to clean the inside of the drum with
a cloth soaked with vinegar.
This will eliminate the slight patina that has
formed in the drum (due to residues of
detergent and softeners used in the wash-
ing, and to the lime contained in the water),
which prevents the probes from detecting
the correct degree of dryness.
