Cleaning the lint filter
Risk of fire if the tumble dryer is operated without a lint filter.
If there is no lint filter, the air channels, heating elements, and ducting can become
clogged during drying and may catch fire.
The lint filter must not be removed for cleaning.
Never operate the tumble dryer without the lint filter in place.
Replace a damaged lint filter immediately.
A lint filter collects lint released by textiles. The lint filter must be cleaned at least once ev-
ery working day as well as whenever a prompt to clean it appears in the display. In the
event of a heavy build-up of lint, the lint filter should be cleaned several times per day.
Open the lint filter compartment cover.
Remove the lint from the lint filter using your hands.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects to clean the lint filter.
Otherwise, the lint filter may become damaged.
Close the lint filter compartment cover after cleaning the lint filter.
