Cleaning the drum

Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.

Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the

inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then
no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when
removed from the dryer. 
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down
the inside of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean operating screen and housing

Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to
clean the machine.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.
