Instructions for use

1 Safety

Before first starting up

Note the ”Installation and connection instructions”

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

Intended use

The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in domestic applications.

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!

Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle before loading your tumble dryer.

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.

5

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

The covering bonnet of the bulb for the drum light must be screwed down tightly.

Child safety

Keep packaging away from children. Risk of suffocation!

Children can often not see the dangers associated with electric machines. 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 specialists 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 fully unscrew the screwed-in fuse.

Disconnect the machine from the power supply during long pauses in operations.

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

Manifold 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.

Disposal

2 Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.

6

2 Old appliance

The symbol Won the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

1 Warning! Remove mains plug from socket when you have no further use for the machine. Cut off mains cable and dispose of together with plug. Destroy loading door lock. Children cannot then lock themselves in the machine and put their lives at risk.

2Environmental tips

In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing.

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 (BAUMWOLLE SCHRANKTROCKEN) 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 (BAUMWOLLE) programme group.

Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES (MISCHGEWEBE) programme group.

Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

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 (EXTRA TROCKEN) programme. Items may become stuck!

Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-drying, wool may be dried with the WOOL CARE (WOLLPFLEGE) 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 cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
