steam cleaners.
Wipe the housing and fascia with a soft
cloth and soapy water only.

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.
If an acoustic warning signal is emitted
and the drying indicator light (LED) is
blinking during a drying program, clean
the filter immediately and check the
exhaust duct.
i The program interrupts

4. Remove lint by stroking your hand
over the filter.
The filter should be lightly scrubbed
twice a year with warm soapy water.
The filter is cleaned when it no longer
holds 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
d
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.
