Cleaning and care

Make sure you clean all the filters at the correct intervals

This tumble dryer has a multistage filter system, consisting of the fluff filters in the door and the door opening and additional fine filters.

–The dryer must not be used without the fluff filters or fine filter in place.

–Make sure that the fluff filters and the fine filter are not damaged. Replace them immediately, if they are damaged in any way (available as optional accessories).

Failure to do so could cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn could cause a fault!

When to clean the fluff filters

Clean the fluff filters after each drying programme

The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected by the fluff filters in the door and the door opening.

– See "Cleaning the fluff filters"

When to clean the fine filter

The fine filter only needs to be cleaned when the Clean out airways indicator light comes on.

The fine filter is behind the service panel on the bottom left. It collects finer fluff, hair and detergent residues which have got through the surfaces of the fluff filters in the door and the door opening.
