Cleaning the Lint Filters
Clean the lint filters in the proper way referring to the following instructions. Otherwise, the lint accumulated on the condenser may not be properly removed by the self-cleaning function, which can lead to reduced performance and malfunctions.
When the lint enters the filter inlet, it may cause less efficient drying performance and increase of drying time.
Remove all laundry from the appliance before pull out the lint filters.
Put the lint filters back in place after cleaning. If the lint filters are not in the appliance, you can not operate the appliance.
When cleaning the filters, the lint should be thrown in the trash and not washed through the drain in order to avoid spreading microplastics in the used water system.
Always clean lint filter either before use or after use.
- Inner Filter
Always clean the inner filter before and after use.
- Outer Filter
Clean the outer filter after drying 10 times or when the lint is accumulated into the outer filter.
Clean the lint filter

Open the outer filter a by pressing on the ribbed surface b and pulling the two filter halves apart. The inner filter c will be exposed.
Pull out the inner filter from the outer filter and then open the inner filter. Open the filter by unfolding it in the direction of the arrows.
Remove lint residue from both sides of filters a and c by hand. For difficult corners, use a damp kitchen towel, a small brush, or a vacuum cleaner if necessary.
Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the filter.
Dry the filter completely if the filter is moist. Failure to do so, odour may occur in the appliance.
Throw lint in the trash.
Even after using the previous cleaning methods, tiny pieces of lint may remain and reduce drying performance. To remove lint completely, periodically rinse the lint filter under running water. Rinse into a paper coffee filter or other disposable filter to trap fine particles and prevent wastewater contamination.
Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the filter.
Throw the disposable filter with lint in the trash.
Dry the filter completely if the filter is moist. Failure to do so, odour may occur in the appliance.
Reassemble the dried filters: Fold the inner filter c together and insert it into the outer filter a.
Close the outer filter a completely by folding the two wings together so that they snap into place at the marked points.
NoteEnsure the side of the filter is closed properly. Failure to do so, any lint accumulated on the filter may get into the appliance and may cause degradation of the drying performance.
Remove dust or lint around the filter inlet d with a damp cloth.
Reinsert the lint filter to the dryer. The arrow on the filter e points towards the appliance door.
CautionDo not load or remove any laundry when the lint filter is not in place. The laundry can drop into the filter inlet and it may cause the appliance to malfunction.
