CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE FILTER

At the end of each cycle the filter indicator is on to tell you that the filter must be cleaned.

The filter collects the fluff. The fluff occurs while the cloths are dried in the tumble dryer.

1. Open the door.

5. If necessary clean the filter with warm water using a brush.

Close the filter.

2. Pull the filter.

3. Open the filter.

4. Use a moist hand to clean the filter.

6.Remove fluff from the filter socket. For this a vacuum cleaner can be used .

7.Put the filter inside the filter socket .

CAUTION!

Do not operate the tumble dryer without the filter or with damaged or blocked filter.

Clean the filter after each drying cycle. Clogged filter increases the cycle time and causes higher energy consumption.

CLEANING THE DRUM

WARNING!

Disconnect the appliance before you clean it.

Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the inner surface of the drum and drum ribs. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.

CAUTION!

Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.

CLEANING THE CONTROL

PANEL AND HOUSING
