Care and maintenance
Disconnecting the power supply
! 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 fun-
ction 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 become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will
be seriously hampered: drying times becomes 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.
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.
! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical
personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechani-
cal parts work safely (see Assistance).
