may impair the heat exchange process .
The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle. Rinse regularly under
running water apage 4.

required for the automatic cleaning pr ocess. The filter should be cleaned regularly u nder
running water. Empty the condensatio n container before cleaning the filter apage 4/9.
