Care and Cleaning of the Dryer
The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control
panel and finishes may be damaged by some
laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply these products away from
the dryer. The fabric may then be washed and
dried normally. Damage to your dryer caused by
these products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint
filter before each use.
Pull out the lint filter.
Moisten your fingers and
remove the captured lint.
Once clean, slide the filter
back into position. Have a
qualified technician vacuum
the lint from the dryer once a year.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER
IN PLACE.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting
the plug from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that
the inside flaps of the hood move freely when
operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife
(birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct
or hood.
