Operating Instructions
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.
• This dryer is intended only for drying textile material
• To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
– Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking
oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
– Oil-affected items can ignite sponteanously, especially when ex-
posed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates
heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough
to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
– If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking
oil or have been contamined by hair care products be placed in a
tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra
detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The „cool
down“ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble
dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
– Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked or
spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
– Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environ-
ments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol / gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
washed in water.
5
– Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or simi-
larly textured rubber-like materials should not be dried in a tumble
dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated,
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
– Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble
dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
– Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be
placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if
metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a
drying rack could be used for such items.
– Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies´waterproof napkin
covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
– rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pil-
lows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed
in a tumble dryer.
• When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use those products which are declared as suitable for the dryer by the manufacturer.
• 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.
• Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle.
• Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or
blocked fluff filters. 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 covering bonnet of the bulb for the drum light must be screwed
down tightly.
Safety of children and infirm persons
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Children are often not aware of the dangers involved when handling
electrical equipment. Therefore provide the necessary supervision of
children when operating the appliance and do not let children play
6
with the dryer – there is a danger that children could become trapped
inside the appliance.
• Packaging parts (e.g. films, styropore) can be dangerous for children.
Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging parts out of reach of children.
• Make sure that children or small animals do not climb into the drum
of the dryer. For this purpose keep the door of the dryer closed when
the appliance is not in use.
General safety
• Only specialists may undertake repairs on the dryer.
• Never start up the dryer if the mains cable is damaged or if the oper-
ating 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.

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.
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 unob-
structed;
– 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.
