cleaned.

The filter collects the fluff. The
fluff occurs while the cloths are
dried in the tumble dryer.

1.

Open the door.

2.

Pull the filter.

3.

Open the filter.

ENGLISH

5.

If necessary clean the filter with warm
water using a brush.

Close the filter.

6.

Remove fluff from the filter socket.
For this a vacuum cleaner can be
used .

7.

Put the filter inside the filter socket .

CAUTION!

Do not operate the tumble dryer
without the filter or with damaged
or blocked filter.

Clean the filter after each drying
cycle. Clogged filter increases the
cycle time and causes higher en­ergy consumption.

you clean it.

Use a standard neutral soap detergent to
clean the inner surface of the drum and
