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
Clean periodically
the interior part of
the door to remove
any fluff from the
seals around the
filter.
Accurate cleaning
ensures correct
drying.
Cleaning the
filters
Your dryer will only
function well if the
filters are clean.
The filters collect all
the fluff which
accumulates during
drying and they
must therefore be
cleaned at the end
of each
programme, before
removing the
laundry, with a
damp cloth
The light (Filter
cleaning) is on to
remind you this
operation.
The filter in the
inner door must be
removed for
cleaning.
Do not be alarmed
by the amount of
fluff. It is not due to
excessive wear
caused by the dryer.
All fabric loses fluff
when drying but it
goes un-noticed in
the air. In a tumble
dryer it simply
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).
Do not use
the appliance
without filters.
Cleaning the
condenser unit
Clean the
condenser when
light (Condenser
cleaning) comes on.
The condenser is
situated at the lower
part of the cabinet
behind a small door.
To open the door,
push the catch as
per picture.
During the drying
cycle or at the end,
it is normal for water
to be present on the
surface of the
condenser insertion.
To pull out the
condenser, first turn
the two red stops
downwards and
then remove the
condenser unit
holding it at the
handle.
Clean it with a brush
and rinse it under
the shower if
necessary.
l
so clean the
outside, removing
all fluff.
