Cleaning fluff filters
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during
drying. To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff
filters (micro-fine filter 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.
Cleaning heat exchanger filters
If the warning lamp HEAT EXCHANGER lights, the heat
exchanger fluff filters in the base of the appliance must be
cleaned
• Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters.
• Clogged filters cause higher energy consumption (dry-
ing cycle elongation) and dryer damage.
• A dirty heat pump can only be cleaned up by means of
a costly process.

• As necessary, approx. once every 6 months, remove
the fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge sup-
plied. When doing this, please use rubber gloves.
* if necessary (approx. once every 6 months) remove the
fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge supplied

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 lon-
ger detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected
when removed from the appliance.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based
cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum
ribs.
Clean control panel and housing
Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive
cleaning agents to clean the machine.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the control panel and
housing.
