Maintenance and Care
TD4005NA Issue 2
When you should Switch off the
electricity
Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it,
and during maintenance activities.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important part of your dryer: it
accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.
Small items could also become trapped in the filter.
When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum
cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the
airflow inside the dryer will be seriously
compromised: drying times lengthen and you will
consume more energy. It may also damage your
dryer.
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim
(see diagram).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards
(see
diagram).
2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly.
Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the
tumble dryer trim.
! Do not use dryer without replacing the filter.
Check the drum after each cycle
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small
items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left
behind.
Cleaning the drum
! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel
cleaning agents to clean the drum
A colored film may start to appear on the stainless
steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of
water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric
conditioner from the wash. This colored film will not
affect the dryer performance
.
Cleaning the dryer
• External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can
be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Periodically check the vent tube and any
permanent venting fixture to make sure that there
has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and
remove it.
• Remove lint that collects around filter and the outlet
vents.
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which
do not need lubrication.
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorized
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical
safety
