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.

3 To protect the heat pump from dirt, the dryer is fitted with a special fil- ter mat, which is located in the filter housing. Here too large amounts of fluff build up over time, which affect the function of the appliance.

1 Important

Operating when the fluff filter is clogged with fluff can damage the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.

Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters.

Do not use the dryer without the filter mat. A dirty heat pump re- quires more energy and can only be cleaned up by means of a costly process.

1.Open door.

2. Open door in plinth: To do this, press the release button on the bottom of the door aperture and open the door in the plinth to the left.

3. Pull filter housing out of the base by the handle.

4. Clean the inside of the door, the fluff filter chamber and the rubber seals of fluff.

5. Remove fluff from the fluff filter

on the floor of the base with a damp hand.
