Caring For Your Dryer; If Something Goes Wrong - Indesit G74V Mode D'emploi

Caring for your Dryer

Your tumble dryer needs very little attention. The following simple
steps will keep it performing well.
When finished
Switch off electricity and remove plug.
After each load Always clean the filter and turn the drum by hand to check that small
items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.
As necessary
Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon
polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose and
any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no accu-
mulation of fluff or lint during the drying process.
Clean fluff from the area below the fluff filter and the rear vent tube.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine
bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. These could
damage the machine.
Lubrication
Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by
the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.
We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for
electrical and mechanical safety.
