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 an acoustic warning signal is emitted
and the drying indicator light (LED) is
blinking 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 Disconnect the duct from the
dryer.
q Vacuum and reconnect 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.
