the door with a damp cloth only.
Cleaning the lint filter
A dirty filter extends the drying time and
increases energy consumption.

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.
