Maintenance and cleaning

Lint filter

Lint is generally created during wearing and washing. Lint and fibres released from the laundry 
to the air during the drying cycle are collected in the lint filter.

 

ƒ

Always clean the filter after each drying process.

For filter cleaning;

 

1

  Open the door.

2

  Remove the lint filter by pulling it up.

3

  Clean lint, fibres, etc. from the filter by hand or with a soft piece of cloth.

4

  Place the lint filter back into its seat.

Important!

Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Sensor

There are humidity sensors in your machine that detect whether the laundry is dry or not.

For sensor cleaning;

1

  Open the door of your machine.

2

  Allow the machine to cool off if drying has been carried out.

3

  Wipe the metal sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar and dry them.

 

ƒ

Clean metal sensors 4 times a year.
