CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet). CLEANING THE DOOR NET FILTER IN THE DOOR 1 Open the filter housing. 2 Pull out the net filter. 3 Gently scrape the filter to remove the lint lining (fibres and threads). 4 Reinstall the net filter. 5 Close the filter housing. Make sure the net filter is correctly inserted into the filter housing.
EMPTYING THE CONDENSATE TANK After each drying cycle, empty the condensate tank. If the condensate tank is overflowing the drying program will be paused automatically. A warning will appear on the display unit that the condensate tank has to be emptied. (Disregard this warning if you fed the condensate discharge hose into a drain, siphon, or a sink.) Pull out the condensate tank from the dryer, then turn it upside down over a washbasin, sink, or any suitably sized vessel.
CLEANING THE HEAT PUMP FILTER Do not touch the inner metal parts of the heat exchanger with bare hands. Danger of injury on sharp parts. Use appropriate protection gloves when cleaning the heat exchanger. Incorrect cleaning of the metal fins of the heat exchanger can permanently damage the tumble dryer. Do not press on the metal fins with hard objects like for example the plastic tube of a vacuum cleaner. During cleaning, some water may be spilled.
5 Use a soft dry cloth to also clean the heat pump filter housing and net. Lower part of the hosing contains a strainer which shall be cleaned thoroughly. Clean the heat pump filter housing and net after every 10 drying cycles or if necessary. With automatic heat pump net filter cleaning (only available in some models), a few drops of water may drip on the floor after the filter is removed; therefore, lay a cloth on the floor.
CLEANING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK FILTER Each time you empty the condensate tank, clean the steam generator tank filter as well. The filter is located in the tank housing (visible when the condensate tank is removed). 1 Remove the condensate tank. 2 Remove the filter from the slot in the condensate tank housing. 3 Clean the filter thoroughly under running water. If necessary, clean the filter slot as well.
EMPTYING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK Before transporting a dryer that has been previously used, the steam generator tank must also be emptied. Otherwise, water from the tank may spill into the dryer interior. 1 Move the dryer approximately 40 cm away from the wall and tilt it backwards. 2 The steam generator tank discharge (emptying) plug is located on the bottom (front left-hand side). 3 Place an empty vessel under the plug (approximately 2 litres) and pull out the plug.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING CLEANING If you have inadvertently removed the entire net filter housing in the dryer door, reinstall it in the same position. Opening on the lower side of the door should occasionally be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. If necessary, clean the filter housing and door gasket as well.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE EXTERIOR Clean the appliance exterior and the display unit using a soft damp cotton cloth and water. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the appliance (please observe the recommendations and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning agents). Wipe all parts of the dryer with a soft cloth until dry. Keep the area around the dryer clean and cool. Dust, heat, and humidity will extend the drying time.
ERRORS – WHAT TO DO? Disturbances from the environment (e.g. the power grid) may result in various error reports (see Troubleshooting table). In such case: • Switch off the appliance, wait for 1 minute, switch the appliance back on, and repeat the drying program. • If the error persists, call an authorized service center. • You will be able to solve most of the problems in dryer operation by yourself (see troubleshooting table below). • Repairs may only be carried out by an adequately trained person.
Problem/error Cause What to do? Laundry not dried or drying takes too long. • Filters are not clean. • Clean the filters (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE"). • Dryer is placed in a closed room; room that is too cold; or room that is too small and the air overheats as a result. • Make sure there is adequate supply of fresh air to the dryer; for example, open the door and/or window. • Check if the temperature in the room where the dryer is installed is too high or too low.
