Lint is caused by tumble
drying
Lint is principally the result of friction when garments are
being worn and to some extent when they are being
washed. Machine drying hardly causes any lint to form.
Lint is collected by the lint filters and the plinth filter.
See “Cleaning and care” in the operating instructions.
You can hear operating
noises (buzzing/hum-
ming)
This is not a fault.
The compressor (heat pump) is operating.
