Cleaning Heat Exchanger - AEG LAVATHERM 56840L User Manual

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the warning led is lighting, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.
CAUTION!
Operating when the heat exchanger is blocked with fluff can damage the dryer. This also
increases energy consumption.
1. Open door.
2. Open door in plinth. To do this, press the
release button on the bottom of the door
aperture and open the door in the plinth
to the left.
3. Clean fluff from the inside of the door and
the heat exchanger front chamber. Wipe
the door seal with a damp cloth.
4. Turn both lock washers inwards.
5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchanger
out of the base and carry it horizontally
to prevent any remaining water from
spilling.
6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold verti-
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.
8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn both lock washers outwards until they
snap into place).
9. Close door in plinth.
CAUTION!
Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.
