Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to initial start up

•Note the ”Installation and connection instructions”

•Before first starting up, check the machine for any damage incurred during transport. Never connect a damaged machine. If parts are damaged, contact your supplier.

Intended use

•The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in domestic environments.

•Conversions or modifications to the dryer are not permitted.

•The laundry must not contain flammable solvents (benzene, alcohol, stain remover, etc.) . Risk of fire and/or explosion! Laundry which has come into contact with such substances must be rinsed thoroughly by hand before drying.

•When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use those products which are declared as suitable for the dryer by the manufacturer.

•Do not place items of laundry in the dryer which contain foam rubber or materials similar to rubber. Risk of fire!

•Do not place heavily worn laundry items in the dryer. Risk of fire!

•Do not place laundry items with loose fillings (e.g. cushions) in the dryer. Risk of fire!

•Parts with rigid components (e.g. door mats) may cover the air slots. Risk of fire! Do not place such items in the dryer.

•Do not overfill the dryer. Risk of fire! Observe max. loading volume of 6 kg.

•Ensure that explosive objects (e.g. cigarette lighters, spray cans, etc.) do not enter the dryer with the laundry. Risk of fire and/or explosion!

•Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle.

•Do not use the machine if there are no lint filters or if these are damaged. Risk of fire!

•Clean the heat exchanger regularly.

•With stacked washer and dryer: Do not place objects on the dryer. These may fall off during operation.

•The lampcover for the interior light must be screwed down tightly.

5

Child safety

•Keep packaging away from children. Risk of suffocation!

•Children can often not see the dangers associated with electrical appliances. Never leave unsupervised children near the dryer.

•Ensure that children and small animals cannot climb into the dryer’s drum. Risk of death! Keep the dryer door shut whenever it is not being used.

General safety

•Only our qualified engineers may undertake repairs on the dryer.

•Never start up the dryer if the mains cable is damaged or if the operating screen, operating plate or base area are damaged so that the inside of the machine is open and accessible.

•Switch off the dryer before all cleaning, care or maintenance work. Also disconnect the mains plug from the socket or – with permanent connections – switch off the LS switch in the fuse box and/or remove the fuse.

•Disconnect the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.

•When removing from the socket, never pull the mains plug by the cable, instead take a hold of the plug.

•Adapter plugs, couplings and extension cables must not be used. Risk of fire from overheating!

•Do not spray down the dryer with jets of water. Risk of electric shock!

•Do not lean on the open door. The machine may tip over.

•Once the drying cycle has been interrupted, the laundry and drum may be hot. Risk of burns! Take care when removing the laundry.

2Environmental tips

•Your dryer will function most economically if you:

–always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;

–use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;

–ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;

–clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;

–spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending on spinning speed – for 6kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS STORAGE DRY programme.

Before the first drying cycle

In order to remove any residue which may have been produced during production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths.

Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

•Sort by fabric type:

–Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.

–Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES programme group.

•Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

	n	m	l	k
	Basic drying	Drying	Drying at	Drying
			reduced temperature
	in tumble	at normal		in tumble dryer
			(press SPECIAL CARE
	dryer possible	temperature		not possible
			button!)

•Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.

•Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY programme. Items may become stuck!

•Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-dry- ing, wool may be dried with the WOOL CARE programme.

Preparing laundry

•To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips, button up coverings and tie loose bands or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

•Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paperclips, safety pins etc).

•Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
