before being replaced.

Cleaning the exhaust
duct
Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to
prevent clogging. A partially
clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
q Turn off the circuit breaker
q Pull out power supply plug.
q Disconnect the duct from the
dryer.
d
q Vacuum the exhaust air outlet
from the rear site to the front of
the appliance. Make sure that
there is no blockage!
q Vacuum and reconnect the
duct.
Cleaning the moisture
sensor
The both moisture sensors have to
be cleaned because a fine layer of
transparent buildup is deposited
on the sensors.
This deposit can easily be removed
by wiping the sensors with a cloth
and a little white vinegar.
Use white vinegar only!
Clean the both moisture sensors
once a month.
The moisture sensors are located
on the paddles in the drum.
