Care And Maintenance
Cleaning The Filter
The filter is found, by opening the door (fig.2.) and must always be in position
when drying items in the appliance.
To allow the dryer to operate efficiently the filter should be cleaned after each
drying cycle.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of lint deposited on the mesh. It is not due
to excessive wear caused by the dryer but more an indication of its efficient
operation. All fabric loses lint when drying but it goes unnoticed into the air. In
a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
After removing the dried clothes clean the filter as follows:
• Pull the filter upwards.
• Remove any threat of lint by hand or with a soft brush.
• Slide the filter back.
• Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution and with a soft brush remove small particles.
Troubleshooting
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
- Check that the filter is clean.
- Check that you used the correct heat setting.
- Check that the vent hose is not blocked (sometimes a strong wind may cause a back pressure).
- Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period.
If your appliance does not work, check the following points before contacting CDA Customer Care
• Check that there is power to the appliance.
• Check that the machine is switched on and the door properly closed.
• This appliance has a resetable cut-out. Check this has not operated. Press the red button on the right hand side at the
back of your dryer. If the cut-out has operated the sharp “click” will be heard. This cut-out only operates if the airflow is
severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean and that all other restrictions are removed before restarting.
• Check the fuse in the moulded plug.
