Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning fluff filter To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine fil- ter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after every drying cycle. Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters.
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 un- til it comes loose from the two brackets.
Emptying the condensate tank Empty condensate tank after every drying cycle. If the condensate tank is full, an active programme will break off auto- matically and the EMPTY WATER (RESERVOIR) display will light up. In order to continue the programme, the condensate tank must first be emptied.
Cleaning the fluff filter If the indicator CLEAN BASE FILTER (REINIG SOKKELFILTER) lights up, the fluff filter and the filter mat in the base of the appliance must be cleaned. To protect the heat pump from dirt, the dryer is fitted with a special fil- ter mat, which is located in the filter housing.

6. To clean the filter mat: Remove filter mat from filter hous- ing. To do this, press the pressure points on the sides and pull the fil- ter mat and frame up and out of the housing. 7. Take the filter mat out of the frame and wash it by hand or use a vacu- um cleaner, when it is has dried out.
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.
