A9 Error message
Check and, if necessary, clean the following parts in the appliance:
䡲
Door filter
䡲
Mesh filter in base
䡲
Filter mat
Buildup of fluff
Fluff is made up of fine textile fibres that largely come from the manufacturing process,
from wear and tear during use and from items being washed. Fluff is not caused by
excessive strain on the washing in the appliance. Even when washing is hung out to
dry on a washing line, fluff is shed when the washing is shaken out or ironed.
Fluff sticks to washing when it is wet. The fluff is released during tumble drying and
gets trapped in the door filter. This is why there is always a build-up of fluff in the filter
– sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the type of washing – after tumble
drying.
Do not disregard this error message. Failure to observe it can cause the ap-
pliance to become defective.
If the error message still appears after the mesh filter in base and the filter mat
have been cleaned, clean the filter mat (in front of the heat pump) carefully
using a vacuum cleaner.
