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
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 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 in front 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 placed flush with the
dryer seal.
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
(handkerchiefs) 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 wash-softeners. 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.
• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months)
with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust
deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the
front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a
vacuum cleaner every so often.
Care and maintenance
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
The dryer uses ball bearing components that do not
require lubrication.
Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical
personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and
mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).
