16.1 Tips on cleaning and
care
Wipe down the
housing and the
controls with
nothing but water
and a damp
cloth.
This ensures the
parts of the appli-
ance will remain
clean and hy-
gienic.
Remove all de-
tergent residue,
spray residue or
other residues
immediately.
Fresh deposits
are easier to re-
move without
leaving any
residue.
Leave the appli-
ance door open
after use.
This allows the
residual water to
dry, reducing
odours in the ap-
pliance.
16.2 Moisture sensor
The moisture sensor in this appliance
measures how damp the laundry is
during the drying cycle. The appli-
ance changes the duration of the
automatic programme depending on
the residual moisture in the laundry.
Cleaning the moisture sensor
Over time, residue from limescale,
detergents and care products can
build up on the moisture sensor.
Clean the moisture sensor regularly.
ATTENTION!
Hard or rough objects may damage
the moisture sensor.
▶
Do not use hard or rough objects,
abrasive cleaning products or steel
wool for cleaning.
Note:
If you do not clean the appli-
ance as described, the appliance's
functionality may be impaired.
1.
Open the door.
2.
Clean the moisture sensor with a
sponge.
