Cleaning the fluff filter with water
Clean the filter thoroughly under run-
ning water.
Squeeze the filter very carefully sev-
eral times as you rinse it.
Rinse the filter until all visible residues
have been removed.
This can cause a fault.
The plinth filter must not be replaced
dripping wet.
Damage caused by a insuffi-
ciently cleaned or damaged fluff fil-
ter.
If the filter has not been properly
cleaned or is damaged, the heat ex-
changer will be clogged. There will
be an insufficient flow of air and heat
in the heat exchanger. This will re-
quire a visit from the Service depart-
ment.
Before and after cleaning, check the
plinth filter in accordance with the
description in “Replacing the plinth
filter”. The plinth filter must be per-
fectly functional and undamaged
after cleaning.
Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff
from the handle.
Replacing the plinth filter
Filter wear caused by continuous
tumble dryer use.
If the tumble dryer is in continuous
use and is being cleaned regularly,
the plinth filter can begin to show
signs of wear after a while. This can
clog up the heat exchanger.
Replace the filter immediately if you
see the following signs of wear be-
fore or after cleaning (optional ac-
cessory).
Poor fit
The edges of the filter do not sit prop-
erly and the filter is deformed. Fluff will
blow into the heat exchanger unfiltered
through edges that do not sit properly.
This will cause a permanent obstruction
in the heat exchanger.
