CLEANING THE HEAT PUMP FILTER
Please clean the heat pump filter at least after every five drying cycles.
Open the outer cover. Hold
the levers on the inside cover
and rotate them upwards.
Remove the inside cover.
Insert the heat pump foam filter into the housing and close the outer cover (push it
upwards toward the machine until it latches into place).
The heat pump filter has to be correctly inserted into its slot. Otherwise, the heat
exchanger installed inside the dryer may be clogged or damaged.
WARNING
• Before cleaning, leave the dryer to cool down.

• Clean with water only.
• Residual water may leak out, place an absorbent cloth under the maintenance cover.

CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER

We recommend you clean the heat exchanger at least every twelve months.
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.
The dust and dirt in the metal fins of the heat exchanger can be cleaned with a vacuum
cleaner and a soft brush attachment.
Access to the heat exchanger is possible, when the
heat pump filter is removed as is described in the
chapter »Cleaning the heat pump filter«.
Without pressing, gently move the brush attachment
only in the direction of the metal fins from top to
bottom. Too much pressure can damage or bend the
metal fins of the heat exchanger.
