Cleaning heat exchanger

heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.

Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger is clogged with lint can dam-
age the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.

release button located beneath 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 ex-
changer out of the base and carry it
horizontally to prevent any remaining
water from spilling.
6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold
vertically over a washing-up bowl.

op leaks.
