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 dur-
ing 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.

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.
2 Environmental 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 – de-
pending 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 (MISCH-
GEWEBE) programme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
nm l k
Basic drying in tumble

Drying at
normal
temperature
• 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,

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.
