(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.
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.

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:
