3 Clean the entire filter area The strainer area does not have to be cleaned after every drying cycle, but should be checked regularly and cleaned of fluff if necessary. 6. To do this, grip the top of the large mesh filter and pull it forwards until it comes loose from the two brackets. 7. Remove fluff from the entire filter area. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner for this purpose. 8. Press both journals of the large mesh filter into the brackets on the loading door until they snap into place. 9.
Emptying the condensed water container 1 Empty condensed water container after every drying cycle. When a programme is running and the condensed water container becomes full, the programme is automatically interrupted and the message THE TANK IS FULL, PLEASE EMPTY appears in the display. In order to continue the programme, the condensed water container must first be emptied. Warning!The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for preparing food. 1.
Cleaning the heat exchanger 1 If the display shows PLEASE CLEAN THE CONDENSER, the heat exchanger must 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.
Cleaning the drum 1 3 Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum. Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer. Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.
