If the programme has been interrupted as a result of the water reservoir being full: Press the START/PAUSE button to continue the drying cycle. Cleaning fluff filters The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying. To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine filter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after every drying cycle.

Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters. Cleaning heat exchanger filters If the warning lamp HEAT EXCHANGER lights, the heat exchanger fluff filters in the base of the appliance must be cleaned • Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters. • Clogged filters cause higher energy consumption (drying cycle elongation) and dryer damage. • A dirty heat pump can only be cleaned up by means of a costly process. • As necessary, approx. once every 6 months, remove the fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge supplied. When doing this, please use rubber gloves.

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 appliance. Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegarbased cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs. Clean control panel and housing

* if necessary (approx. once every 6 months) remove the fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge supplied (put on rubber gloves)
