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 shut-off valve.
q Disconnect the duct from the
dryer.
q Vacuum and reconnect the duct.
d WARNING d
Remove gas connection before moĆ
ving the dryer to clean the duct. Be
careful not to destroy the gas conĆ
nection 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.
Change the light bulb
The dryer light turns on inside the drum
when you open the door.
To change the light bulb:
q
Set program selector to Off".
q Turn off the circuit breaker.
q Pull out power supply plug.
q Open the door and locate the light
bulb on the upper left side of the
seal.
