Cleaning and Care

Fluff filter

The fluff which occurs during drying is col-
lected in the fluff filter in the door.
The fluff filter should be cleaned after every
programme and whenever the " l Check filter"
light comes on.
Take care not to damage the filter.
Open the drum door and pull the filter up-
ward out of its retainer.
Remove any fluff from the filter by hand
(do not use any sharp object to do this).
Fluff also collects in the hollow part of the
retainer. Remove any remaining fluff
through the wide slot at the lower edge.
Push the cleaned filter back down into the
retainer and close the door.
Note
If the filter is badly clogged it can be cleaned
under running water. It must be thoroughly
dried before being put back.

Dryer casing and drum

Before cleaning disconnect the machine from
the power supply via the mains switch.
For dryers with gas heating the gas manual
stop tap must be shut and the gas valve at the
entry meter shut off.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or
water jet to clean the machine.
The casing, control panel and plastic parts
of the dryer should be cleaned only with a
mild cleaning agent or a soft damp cloth
and then rubbed dry.
After drying starched washing the drum
should be wiped out with a soft damp cloth.
Never
use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the
machine.
The following should be checked by a Service
technician once a year for build up of fluff and
cleaned if necessary:
Burner and burner cavity (with gas heating),
heater element and heater shaft (with electric
heater).
The whole interior of the tumble dryer
Fins on the ventilation fan
If appropriate maintenance is not carried out
regularly the efficient running of the machine
may be impaired and operational faults repre-
senting a fire hazard can occur.
