Cleaning The Heat Exchanger - AEG Electrolux LAVATHERM 58830 User Information

Cleaning heat exchanger
If the HEAT EXCHANGER display is illuminated, the heat exchanger needs to
be cleaned.
Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger is clogged with lint can dama-
ge the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.
1. Open loading door
2. Open base door. To do this, press the
release button on the bottom of the
loading opening and open the door to
the left.
3. Remove lint from the inside of the door
and the heat exchange chamber. Wipe
the door seal with a damp cloth.
4. Turn both lock washers inwards.
5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchan-
ger out of the base and carry it horizon-
tally to prevent any remaining water from
spilling.
6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold
vertically over a washing-up bowl.
Caution! Do not use sharp objects to
clean. The heat exchanger could
develop leaks.
7. Clean heat exchanger.
It is best to use a brush or to rinse
thoroughly with a shower head.

place (turn both lock washers
outwards until they snap into place).
