10.4 Cleaning the humidity

sensor

CAUTION!

Risk of humidity sensor
damage. Do not use
abrasive materials or steel
wool to clean the sensor.

To assure best drying results the
appliance is equipped with metal
humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner
side of the door area.

Over usage time the surface of the
sensor may get dirty which deteriorates
the drying performance.

We recommend to clean the sensor at
least 3 or 4 times or if you observe the
drop of drying performance.

To clean you can use harder side of
dish-washing sponge and bit of vinegar
or dish soap.

To clean the sensor:

1. Open the loading door.

2. Clean the surfaces of the humidity
sensor wiping off the metal surface
several times.

5. If necessary, remove the fluff from
the condenser and its compartment.
You can use a wet cloth and/or a
vacuum cleaner with a brush
attachment.

6. Close the condenser lid.

10.5 Cleaning the drum

WARNING!

Disconnect the appliance
before you clean it.

Use a standard neutral soap detergent to
clean the inner surface of the drum and
drum lifters. Dry the cleaned surfaces
with a soft cloth.

Cycle defined to dry cottons items of different
size / different weaving altogether.

Blended garments containing mostly synthetic fi‐
bres like polyester, polyamide, etc.

Gently dries for machine and hand-washable wool‐
lens. Remove immediately the items when the pro‐
gramme is completed.

Preserves the shape of delicate machine and
hand-washable silk clothes, minimizing creases by
using gentle warm air and soft movements.

Bed linen such as single and double sheets, pil‐
lowcases, duvet cover.

Limits creases on small loads of cotton, synthetic
and mixed-fabric garments for easy ironing. Fea‐
tures two drying levels: Iron leaves garments
slightly damp for ironing or hanging; Cupboard fully
dries items.

Maintains the functionality of outdoor fabrics made
of technical textile and restores water repellency
on waterproof jackets and shell jackets with re‐
movable linings (suitable for drying in tumble dry‐
er).
