Cleaning and care

White residues or residues of other
colours
Residues arise from laundry fibres and
residues of detergent components
which can clog the filter. They can be
found on the front and side edges of
the filter. In extreme cases, they can
form stubborn crusts.
Residues are a sign that the filter no
longer has a snug fit at the sides, even
if it appears to be perfect – fluff is
getting in unfiltered at the edges.
If these residues appear on the filter
again soon after cleaning, it must be
replaced.
Cleaning the plinth filter panel
Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff.
Take care not to damage the rubber
seal.
Check whether the cooling fins are
blocked with fluff (as follows).
