Cleaning and servicing
To keep your appliance working effi-
ciently for a long time, it is important
to clean and maintain it carefully.
18.1 Moisture sensor
The moisture sensor in this appliance
measures how damp the laundry is
during the drying cycle. The appli-
ance changes the duration of the

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.

ance as described, the appliance's
functionality may be impaired.
