Care and cleaning 21 Cleaning heat exchanger If the heat exchanger is displayed, 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.

Care and cleaning Cleaning the drum 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.

Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing. • Your dryer will function most economically if you: – always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed; – use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview; – ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room; – clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle; – spin the laundry well before drying.
