Cleaning the fluff filter
If the indicator PLINTH FILTER lights up, the fluff filter and
the filter mat in the base of the appliance must be cleaned.

To protect the heat pump from dirt, the dryer is fit-
ted with a special filter mat, which is located in the
filter housing. Here too large amounts of fluff build
up over time, which affect the function of the appli-
ance.

Important
• Operating when the fluff filter is clogged with fluff can
damage the dryer. This also increases energy consump-
tion.
• Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters.
• Do not use the dryer without the filter mat. A dirty heat
pump requires more energy and can only be cleaned up
by means of a costly process.
1. Open door.
2. Open door in plinth: To do this, press the release button
on the bottom of the door aperture and open the door in
the plinth to the left.
3. Pull filter housing out of the base by the handle.
4. Clean the inside of the door, the fluff filter chamber and
the rubber seals of fluff.
5. Remove fluff from the fluff filter on the floor of the base
with a damp hand.
6. To clean the filter mat:
Remove filter mat from filter housing. To do this, press
the pressure points on the sides and pull the filter mat
and frame up and out of the housing.
7. Take the filter mat out of the frame and wash it by hand
or use a vacuum cleaner, when it is has dried out. Fluff,
which has become stuck in the filter mat and has not been
removed by washing, does not affect the function.
8. Insert the filter mat in the frame and then insert with the
frame into the filter housing.
1
Important: The filter mat must engage tightly with
the frame. Check that the mat is sitting snuggly in the
frame, especially after inserting it into the filter hous-
ing.
9. As necessary, approx. once every 6 months, remove the
fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge supplied.
When doing this, please use rubber gloves.
Tip: The fluff can be removed more easily if it is first
dampened e. g. with a laundry dampener.
10.Re-insert filter housing along with frame and filter mat in
appliance base.
Note: If the filter mat and frame are not inserted in the fil-
ter housing, the filter housing cannot be slid into the appli-
ance base.
11.Close door in plinth.

The indicator PLINTH FILTER only goes out when
the programme knob has been positioned to OFF.
