cleaner, hose or spray gun to clean 

your appliance.

Caution!

Material damage/damage to the 

appliance

Cleaning agents and agents for 

pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers, 

prewash sprays, etc.) may cause 

damage if they come into contact with 

the surfaces of the appliance. Therefore

Do not allow these agents to come 

into contact with the surfaces of the 

appliance.

Clean the appliance with nothing but 

water and a soft, damp cloth.

Remove any detergent, spray or 

other residues immediately.

Cleaning the moisture sensor

Note:  

The moisture sensor measures 

the amount of moisture in the laundry. 

After long periods of usage, the 

moisture sensor may become covered 

by a fine layer of limescale or detergent 

and care product residue. These 

deposits must be removed regularly, 

otherwise the drying results may not be 

optimal.

1.

Open the door.

2.

Clean the moisture sensor with a 

rough sponge.

Caution!

Risk of damaging the moisture sensor.

The moisture sensor is made from 

stainless steel. Do not clean the sensor 

with abrasive cleaning products or wire 

wool.

Cleaning the filter in the 

condensation container

Note:  

The filter in the condensation 

container cleans the condensation 

water, which is used during the 

appliance's automatic cleaning cycle.

1.

Pull out the condensation container 

horizontally.

2.
