Reactivating the plinth filter
You can reactivate one or more soiled
plinth filters in a washing machine. You
will then be able to use the plinth filter
again.
Prior to reactivation, check that the
plinth filter is in good order. Check the
plinth filter following the instructions
provided in “Problem solving guide –
Replacing the plinth filter”. Replace the
plinth filter if it has worn out.
Wash the plinth filter(s) separately,
not with any laundry items. Do not
add any detergent.
Select a short wash programme with
a maximum temperature of 40 °C and
a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
You can re-insert the plinth filter once
the wash and spin cycles are complete.
Checking the heat exchanger
Risk of injury from sharp cooling
fins.
You could cut yourself.
Do not touch the cooling fins with
your hands.
Look to see if fluff has accumulated.
Remove any fluff you can see.
Damage due to incorrect clean-
ing of the heat exchanger.
The tumble dryer will not dry if the
cooling fins are damaged or bent.
Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a
suction brush attached. Only pass
the vacuum cleaner brush over the
heat exchanger cooling fins lightly,
without applying any pressure.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff
and residues.
