Cleaning heat exchanger
If the HEAT EXCHANGER display is illu-
minated, the heat exchanger needs to
be cleaned.
Caution! Operating when the heat
exchanger is clogged with lint can
damage the appliance. This also in-
creases energy consumption.
1. Open loading door
2. Open base door. To do this, press
the release button located beneath
the loading aperture and open the
base door to the left.
3. Remove lint from the inside of the
door and the heat exchange cham-
ber. Wipe the door seal with a damp
cloth.
4. Turn both lock washers inwards.
5. Use the handle to pull the heat ex-
changer out of the base and carry it
horizontally to prevent any remaining
water from spilling.
6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold
vertically over a washing-up bowl.
