Contact the Customer Helpline:
0345 257 7271.

•

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil or

Oil-affected items can ignite

•

spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a
tumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become
hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking
or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire
hazard.

Care and maintenance

Looking after your appliance

General

Important: Always unplug the appliance from the power socket during cleaning and
maintenance.

Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substance, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax
polish for cleaning.
Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
Never clean the appliance with flammable fluids. It could cause a damage and fire hazard.
Clean the exterior of the appliance, inner tube and door seal with a damp cloth. Open the door for
aeration to dry the inner tube through.
Avoid water going in the control panel. Clean with a dry cloth only.
Clean the lint filter after each use.

NOTE!

1.The lint filter accumulated on the filter will block the air circulation, which will cause the extension
of drying time and consumption; therefore, the scrap thread filter shall be cleaned after each use.

2.Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter !

3.Clean the lint filter after each use to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer.

4.The icon will flash to remind you to clean the filter.

Cleaning the door

remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying(Fig4).

1.Open the loading door.

2.Remove the cover filter by pulling it up and open the filter . (Fig5,6)

3.Clean lint,fibre,and cotton raveling by hand or with a soft

piece of cloth . (Fig7,8)

4.Close the filter and place it back into its seat.

Fig5

NOTE!

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive

wear caused by the dryer.

All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed in the air.

forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm
water using a brush.
