Care and maintenance

Disconnecting the power supply

! Do not use solvents or abrasives.

! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical

! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or

during cleaning and maintenance operations.

Cleaning the filter after each cycle

The filter is a fundamental component of the

dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that

form during drying.

Clean the filter once drying is completed, by

rinsing it under running water or cleaning it

with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter be-

come clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer

will be seriously hampered: drying times be-

comes longer and more energy is consumed.

Moreover, the dryer may become damaged.

The filter is located

behind of the dryer seal

(see Picture).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the filter’s plastic

handle upwards (see

Picture).

2. Clean the fluff off

the filter and replace it

correctly. Ensure that

the filter is pushed fully

home.

! Do not use the dryer unless

the filter has been replaced in

its holder.

Checking the drum after each cycle

Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handker-

chiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.

Cleaning the drum

! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning

agents to clean the drum.

A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum

surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or

cleaning agents such as fabric conditioners. This coloured

film does not affect the dryer’s performance.

Cleaning the tumble dryer

• The external metal and plastic parts and the rubber parts

can be cleaned with the aid of a damp cloth.

• Periodically check the vent hose and all other parts of the

venting system and remove any accumulations of fluff and

lint.

cal parts work safely (see Assistance).
