Cleaning and
care
Cleaning the dryer
d
DANGER
d
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never use solvents or highly
flammable liquids for cleaning.
d
CAUTION
d
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,
however at the latest when the lint
filter" indicator light illuminates.
If the lint filter" indicator light
illuminates during a drying program
and a warning signal is emitted,
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 rinsed once a
year under warm running 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.
