CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

Cleaning the sensors

There are humidity sensors in your machine that detect
whether the laundry is dry or not. These sensors need to
be cleaned periodically (we recommend approximately
four times a year).

To clean the sensors:

1

Open the door of your machine.

2

Allow the machine to cool if drying has been carried out.

3

Locate the metal sensors just behind the lint filter.

4

Wipe the sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar.

Dry the sensors with a dry cloth.
