AEG 88840 - Manual (Page 30)

The condensate tank has a volume of approx. 4 litres. This is sufficient for around 7 kg of
laundry which has previously been spun at 1000 revolutions/ minute.
4. The condensed water can be used as dis-
tilled water, e.g. for steam programmes.
However, first filter the condensed water
to remove any residues and small pieces
of fluff.
Using the attached canister to filter: Pour the
water out of the container straight through
the filter at the top of the canister.
Cleaning heat exchanger
If the message: Please clean the condenser is shown in the display, the heat exchanger
needs to be cleaned.
CAUTION!
Operating when the heat exchanger is blocked with fluff can damage the dryer. This also
increases energy consumption.
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. Clean fluff from the inside of the door and
the heat exchanger front chamber. Wipe
the door seal with a damp cloth.
4. Turn both lock washers inwards.
