12.1 Cleaning the filter
At the end of each cycle the symbol Filter appears on the display indicating that you must clean the filter.
If the symbol Filter flashes on the display it indicates that the filter is missing. The tumble dryer cannot start.
The filter collects the lint during the drying cycle.
To achieve the best drying performances clean the filter regularly, clogged filter lead to longer cycles and energy con-
sumption increase. Use your hand to clean the filter and if necessary, a vacuum cleaner.
Caution
Avoid the use of water to clean the filter. Instead throw away lint in the dustbin ( avoid dispersion of plastic fiber in
water ambient).
To clean the filter:
1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.
