- Verwyder enige opgehoopte pluis met die hand.
- Insert the filter back into its housing until it is securely in place.

Vee die buite-oppervlaktes af met 'n sagte, damp lap. Vermy skuurmiddels of oplosmiddels wat die afwerking kan beskadig.
4.3 Skoonmaak van die uitlaatstelsel
Periodically inspect and clean the entire exhaust duct system to prevent lint buildup. This should be done at least once a year, or more frequently if drying large loads or lint-producing items. Professional service is recommended for thorough cleaning.
