Cleaning the drum
1 Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to
clean the drum.
3 Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form
a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum.
The degree to which the laundry has been
dried is then no longer detected reliably. The
laundry is damper than expected when re-
moved from the dryer.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based
cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and
drum ribs.
Clean operating screen and
housing
1 Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or ag-
gressive cleaning agents to clean the ma-
chine.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen
and housing.
