Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning the filter area Important! When the CLEAN FILTER display lights, it is essential to clean the fluff filter. Otherwise your dryer might suffer damage. A small amount of fluff may reach the area around the filter in spite of the fluff filter.
Cleaning the drum Warning! Do not clean the stainless steel drum with abrasive deter- gents or steel wool! Fabric softeners or lime in the water can cause a scarcely visible deposit to form on the drum. The dryer is then no longer reliably able to recognise how dry the washing is.

Venting The appliance expels hot, moist air which must be able to flow freely from the tumble dryer vent. Tumble Dryer Vents Rear view View from left View from right The most efficient way of venting the expelled air is via a vent hose through to the outside.
Venting Venting through a Vent Hose The vent hose expelling the hot air should have a 100 mm diameter and be no longer than 4 meters. Avoid bends in the vent hose as this will reduce the air flow. The maximum length of the vent hose may be: 4 meters with 0 bends, or 2 meters with 2 bends.
Venting without a Vent Hose If a vent hose is not connected to the tumble dryer, the air can be expelled into the room where the appliance is located providing the following precautions are observed. • The vent(s) in use must be at least 30 cm from the wall or any other object.
