out of the base and carry it horizontally
to prevent any remaining water from
spilling.

cally 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 hand-held shower.

snap into place).

Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the drum

CAUTION!
Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.
Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the inside of the
drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably.
The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of
the drum and drum ribs.

Clean operating screen and housing

CAUTION!
Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.
