Cleaning and
care
Cleaning the dryer
d WARNING d
TO AVOID
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never use solvents or highly
flammable liquids for cleaning.
CAUTION
Incorrect cleaning may damage
the dryer. Do not spray with a
water jet. Do not use scouring
agents or allĆpurpose cleaners.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Wipe the housing and fascia with a
soft cloth and soapy water only.
Wipe the drum, door seal and inside
of the door with a damp cloth only.
Cleaning the lint filter
A dirty filter extends the drying time
and increases energy consumption.
The filter should be cleaned before
and after each drying process.
If a warning signal and an E01
warning message are emitted
during a drying program, clean the
filter immediately and check the
exhaust duct.
i The program interrupts
automatically.
1. Switch off the dryer. Program
selector to Off".
d CAUTION d
The inside of the door heats up
during the drying process.
2. Open the door.
3. Remove the lint filter.
4. Remove lint by stroking your
hand over the filter.
The filter should be lightly scrubbed
twice a year with warm soapy
water. The filter is cleaned when it
no longer holds water. The filter
must be dried thoroughly before
being replaced.
5. Insert the filter.
6. Close the door.
Cleaning the exhaust
duct
Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to
prevent clogging. A partially
clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
q Turn off the circuit breaker
q Pull out power supply plug
q Close the shutĆoff valve.
q Disconnect the duct from the
dryer.
q Vacuum and reconnect the
duct.
d WARNING d
Remove gas connection before
moving the dryer to clean the
duct. Be careful not to destroy
the gas connection when
cleaning the duct.
Cleaning the moisture
sensor
The moisture sensor has to be
cleaned because a fine layer of
transparent buildup is deposited
on the sensors.
This deposit can easily be removed
by wiping the sensors (the two bars
next to the lint filter) with a cloth
and a little white vinegar.
Use white vinegar only!
Clean the moisture sensor once a
month.
Cleaning the bearing
shield
Over time, fluff from the drying
process collects in the bearing
shield.
This fluff can be easily removed
using your vacuum cleaner, at least
once a month.
