Maintenance And Cleaning; External Cleaning; Cleaning The Door; Cleaning The Filters - John Lewis JLTDC 05 Instruction Manual

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.
Regular 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 FILTER light reminds you to carry out
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 looses 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 whitish coating 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).

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the air condenser when CONDENSER light
illuminates.
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 as shown below and then remove the
condenser unit holding it at the handle.
