Bottom right grille
In general, the cooling fins be‐
hind the grille on the bottom right do
not need cleaning. They should only
be cleaned if the drying process is
taking an exceptionally long time due
to a very high level of dust or fluff in
the room in which the dryer is loca‐
ted.
First open the plinth filter panel (bot‐
tom left).
Then insert a spoon handle behind
the grille on the right hand side.
Lever off the grille at the top (1.).
Lever off the grille at the bottom (2.).
Open the grille out to the right (3.) ...
... and pull it forwards releasing its 3
hooks to remove it from the dryer.
Danger of injury. Do not touch
the cooling fins. You could cut your‐
self.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a
dusting brush attached to clean the
cooling fins. Only pass the vacuum
cleaner brush over them lightly, with‐
out applying any pressure.
Take care not to bend the cooling
fins out of shape or to damage them.
Carefully vacuum up any visible fluff
or soiling.
Re-insert the 3 hooks on the grille in‐
to the appropriate holes in the front
of the dryer.
Press the grille firmly back into posi‐
tion by pressing it in at the top and
bottom on the left.
