Removing laundry and switching off the appliance

1. Remove the laundry.

2. Press to switch off the appliance.

Emptying the condensation container

Condensation will form in the appliance as it dries the laundry.

If there is no drain hose connected to the appliance, the condensation water from the appliance will run into the condensation container. In this case, you will need to empty the condensation container each time the dryer finishes drying the laundry, and also if it becomes full before drying is complete.

1. Pull out the condensation container horizontally

2. Pour out the condensation water.

3. Push the condensation container back into the appliance until you feel it lock into place.

Removing the fluff

Note: During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. If the fluff filter is clogged or dirty, this reduces the flow of air, preventing the appliance from achieving optimal drying results. Dirty fluff filters increase the power consumption and increase the required drying time.

Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle:

1. Open the door and remove all fluff from it.

2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.

3. Remove the fluff from the fluff filter recess. Ensure that no fluff falls into the open shaft.

4. Pull the two-part fluff filter apart.

5. Open the two parts of the filter.

6. Remove all fluff from both parts of the filter.

7. Rinse off fluff under warm, running water.

8. Dry the two parts of the fluff filter, snap them shut and reinsert the filter.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the moisture sensor

Note: The moisture sensor measures the amount of moisture in the laundry. After long periods of usage, the moisture sensor may become covered by a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product residue. These deposits must be removed regularly, otherwise the drying results may not be optimal.

1. Open the door.

2. Clean the moisture sensor with a rough sponge.

Cleaning the filter in the condensation container

Note: The filter in the condensation container cleans the condensation water, which is used during the appliance's automatic cleaning cycle.

1. Pull out the condensation container horizontally.

2. Pour out the condensation water.

3. Remove the filter.

4. Clean the filter under warm, running water or in the dishwasher.

5. Push the filter in until you feel it lock into place.

6. Push the condensation container in until you feel it lock into place.
