Cleaning and maintenance
To keep your appliance working efficiently for a long time,
it is important to clean and maintain it carefully.
17.1 Tips on cleaning and care
Wipe down the housing and
the controls with nothing
but water and a damp cloth.
This ensures the parts of
the appliance will remain
clean and hygienic.
Remove all detergent
residue, spray residue, or
other residues immediately.
Fresh deposits are easier to
remove without leaving any
residue.
Leave the appliance door
open after use.
This allows the residual
water to dry, reducing odors
in the appliance.
17.2 Moisture sensor
The moisture sensor in this appliance measures how
damp the laundry is during the drying cycle. The appliance
changes the duration of the automatic program depending
on the residual moisture in the laundry.
Cleaning the moisture sensor
Over time, residue from limescale, detergents, and care
products can build up on the moisture sensor. Clean the
moisture sensor regularly.
NOTICE:
Hard or rough objects may damage the moisture sensor.
▶ Do not use hard or rough objects, abrasive cleaning
products, or steel wool for cleaning.
Note:If you do not clean the appliance as described, the
appliance's functionality may be impaired.
1. Open the door.
2. Clean the moisture sensor with a sponge.
17.3 Condensation container filter
During drying, lint from the laundry gets into the
condensation. The filter in the condensation container
protects the appliance from lint.
Cleaning the condensation container filter
The filter is cleaned automatically when the condensation
container is emptied. Check the filter regularly and clean
the filter if it is dirty.
1. Empty the condensation container.
→
"Emptying the condensation container", Page24
