rameters can change the data, for example: the quantity of laundry, the type of laundry
and the ambient conditions. The initial moisture content of the laundry, the water type,
the supply voltage and if you change the default setting of a programme may also affect
the energy use and the duration of the drying programme.

10. CARE AND CLEANING
10.1 Cleaning the filter
At the end of each cycle the Sieb symbol
comes on the display and you must clean the
filter.
The filter collects the lint during the
drying cycle.
To achieve the best drying performances
clean the filter regularly , clogged filter
lead to longer cycles and energy
consumption increase.
Use your hand to clean the filter , and if
necessary , a vacuum cleaner .
CAUTION!
Avoid the use of water to clean the filter.
Instead throw away lint in the dustbin
( avoid dispersion of plastic fiber in water
ambient).
1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.
2. Push the hook to open the filter.
18 ENGLISH

3. Gather lint with hand from both internal
parts of the filter.
Throw the lint in the dustbin.
4. If necessary, clean the filter with a
vacuum cleaner. Close the filter.
5. If necessary, remove lint from the filter
socket and gasket. You can use a
vacuum cleaner. Place the filter back
inside the filter socket.
10.2 Emptying the water container
Empty the condensed water container after
each drying cycle.
If the condensed water container is full, the
programme stops automatically. The
Behälter symbol comes on the display and
you must empty the water container.
To empty the water container:
1. Pull the water container out keeping it in a
horizontal position.
2. Pull the plastic connection out and drain
the water into a basin or equivalent
receptacle.
3. Push the plastic connection back in and
place the water container back into
position.
4. To continue the programme press the

use abrasive materials or steel wool to
clean the sensor.
To assure best drying results the appliance is
equipped with metal humidity sensor. It is
placed on the inner side of the door area.
Over usage time the surface of the sensor
may get dirty which deteriorates the drying
performance.
We recommend to clean the sensor at least 3
or 4 times or if you observe the drop of drying
performance.
To clean you can use harder side of dish-
washing sponge and bit of vinegar or dish
soap.
To clean the sensor:
