26Care and cleaning

4.Turn both lock washers inwards.

5. Use the handle to pull the heat ex- changer out of the base and carry it horizontally to prevent any remain- ing water from spilling.

6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold vertically over a washing-up bowl.

CAUTION!

Do not use sharp objects to clean. The heat exchanger could develop leaks.

7.Clean heat exchanger.

It is best to use a brush or to rinse thoroughly with a hand-held shower.

8.Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn both lock washers outwards until they snap into place).

9.Close door in plinth.

CAUTION!

Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.

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. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer.

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.
