Hints & Tips on drying Hints & Tips on Drying Care symbols Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying. Basically, this fabric can be tumble dried; however the manufacturer does not specify whether it can be dried with normal or low temperature.
Cleaning and care Warning! You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. External cleaning Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. Cleaning the door Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Cleaning and care goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. If necessary the filters can be cleaned under running water using a brush. In this case, remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be posi- tioned with the tongue facing to the left or to the right).
