Replacing the drum light
Only use a special bulb which is designed
specially for dryers. The special bulb can be
obtained from your local Service Force
Centre.
Important! When the appliance is switched
on, the interior lighting switches itself off after
4 minutes when the door is open.
Warning! Do not use standard bulbs!
These develop too much heat and may
damage the machine!
Warning! Before replacing the bulb,
disconnect the mains plug; with a
permanent connection: fully unscrew
or deactivate the fuse.
1. Unscrew the cover above the bulb (this
can be found directly behind the loading
aperture, at the top; refer to “Description
of machine” section.)
2. Replace the defective bulb.
3. Screw cover back down.
Check the correct positioning of o-ring gasket
before screwing back the door light cover. Do
not operate the dryer when missing o-ring
gasket on door light cover.
Warning! For safety reasons, the
cover must be screwed down tightly.
If this is not done, the dryer must not
be operated.
