6. To clean the filter mat:
Remove filter mat from filter hous-
ing. To do this, press the pressure
points on the sides and pull the fil-
ter mat and frame up and out of
the housing.
7. Take the filter mat out of the frame
and wash it by hand or use a vacu-
um cleaner, when it is has dried
out. Fluff, which has become stuck
in the filter mat and has not been
removed by washing, does not affect the function.
8. Insert the filter mat in the frame
and then insert with the frame into
the filter housing.

Important: The filter mat must en-
gage tightly with the frame. Check
that the mat is sitting snuggly in
the frame, especially after inserting
it into the filter housing.
9. As necessary, approx. once every 6
months, remove the fluff from the
heat exchanger using the sponge
supplied. When doing this, please
use rubber gloves.
Tip: The fluff can be removed more
easily if it is first dampened e. g.
with a laundry dampener.
10. Re-insert filter housing along with
frame and filter mat in appliance base.
Note: If the filter mat and frame are not inserted in the filter housing,
the filter housing cannot be slid into the appliance base.
