6 Maintenance and cleaning Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals. A WARNING! • Please unplug your product before performing maintenance and cleaning instructions. (eg control panel, body, etc.) 6.1 Lint Filter / Loading Door Inner Surface Lint and fiber released from the laundry to the air during the drying cycle are collected in the Lint Filter. A WARNING! • Always clean the lint filter and the inner surfaces of the loading door after each drying process. C NOTE • You can clean the lint filter housing with a vacuum cleaner. To clean the lint filter: • Open the loading door. • Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and open the lint filter. • Clean lint, fiber, and cotton raveling by hand or with a soft piece of cloth. • Close the lint filter and place it back into its housing. A layer can build up on the filter pores that can cause clogging of the filter after using the dryer for a while. Wash the lint filter with warm water to remove the layer that builds up on the lint filter surface. Dry the lint filter completely before reinstalling it. • Clean the entire inner surface of the loading door and loading door gasket with a soft damp cloth. 6.2 Cleaning the sensors There are dampness sensors in the dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not. To clean the sensors: • Open the loading door of the dryer. • Allow the machine to cool down if it is still hot due to the drying process. • Wipe the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar and dry them. C NOTE • Clean metal surfaces of the sensors 4 times a year. • Do not use metal tools when cleaning metal surfaces of the sensors. Dryer / User Manual 15
