Cleaning and servicing17 Cleaning and servi-
cing
To keep your appliance working effi-
ciently for a long time, it is important
to clean and maintain it carefully.
17.1 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
automatic programme 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.
ATTENTION
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 appli-
ance as described, the appliance's
functionality may be impaired.
1.
Open the door.
2.
Clean the moisture sensor with a
sponge.
17.2 Condensation container
filter
During drying, fluff from the laundry
gets into the condensation. The filter
in the condensation container pro-
tects the appliance from fluff.
Clean the filter for the condensa-
tion tank.
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.
Page28
2.
Remove the filter.
3.
Clean the filter under warm, run-
ning water.
Note: Collect the cleaning water in
a container, e.g. a bucket. After
cleaning, pour the contents of the
35

en Troubleshooting
container through a filter, e.g. a
coffee filter.
Dispose of the coffee filter with the
household waste in order to pre-
vent the water from being contam-
inated with microplastics.
You can also clean the filter in the
dishwasher.
4.
Slide in the filter as far as it will go.
5.
Insert the condensation container.

Consumption values21 Consumption values
The Eco programme is suitable for drying cotton laundry with a normal damp-
ness level, and is the most efficient programme for drying damp cotton laundry
in terms of combined energy consumption. This programme serves to assess
compliance with Regulations (EU) 2023/2533 and (EU) 2023/2534. It corres-
ponds to the "standard cotton programme" within the meaning of Regulation
(EU) No 392/2012 and within the meaning of Annex I, point 1.1 of Regulation
(EU) No 932/2012. The consumption values for this programme that are de-
clared on the energy label refer to a moisture content of the laundry of 60%.
The values specified for other programmes are indicative only and were de-
termined in accordance with the applicable standard EN61121.
The actual values may deviate from the indicated values depending on the type
of fabric, composition of laundry to be dried, residual moisture in the fabric, set
