Cleaning the appliance

Warning

Risk of death!

The appliance is powered by electricity.

There is a risk of electric shock if you

come into contact with live components.

Therefore please note:

■

Switch off the appliance. Disconnect

the appliance from the power supply

(pull out the plug).

■

Never take hold of the mains plug

with wet hands.

■

When removing the mains plug from

the socket, always take hold of the

plug itself and never the mains

cable, otherwise this may damage

the mains cable.

■

Do not make any technical

modifications to the appliance or its

features.

■

Repairs and any other work on the

appliance must only be conducted

by our customer service or by an

electrician. The same applies for

replacing the mains cable (when

necessary).

■

Spare mains cables can be ordered

from our customer service.

Warning

Risk of poisoning!

Poisonous fumes may be given off by

cleaning agents that contain solvents,

e.g. cleaning solvent.

Do not use cleaning agents that contain

solvents.

Warning

Risk of electric shock/material

damage/damage to the appliance!

If moisture penetrates the appliance,

this may cause it to short circuit.

Do not use a pressure washer, steam

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

please note:

■

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.

Open the door.
