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.

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.

17

Emptying the water reservoir

Empty water reservoir after every drying cycle.
If the water reservoir is full, an active programme will be interrupted

automatically and the EMPTY WATER display will light up. In order to
continue the programme, the water reservoir must be emptied.

1 Warning! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for pre-

paring foodstuffs.

1. Take out drawer containing water
reservoir completely (1) and pull up
the water reservoir’s drainage pipe
as far as it will go (2).

sink or other suitable container.

3. Slide outlet connections in and re­fit water reservoir.

If the programme has been inter­rupted as a result of the water res­ervoir being full:
Press the START/PAUSE button to
continue the drying cycle.

3 The water reservoir has a volume of approx. 4 litres. This is sufficient for

around 6kg of laundry which has previously been spun at 800 revolu­tions/minute.

3 The condensed water can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam iron-

ing. However first filter it (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any resi­due and small pieces of fluff.

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the HEAT EXCHANGER display is illuminated, the heat exchanger
needs to be cleaned.

1 Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger is clogged with lint can

damage the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.

5. Use the handle to pull the heat ex-

changer out of the base and carry
it horizontally to prevent any re­maining water from spilling.

6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold
vertically over a washing-up bowl.

1 Caution! Do not use sharp objects

to clean the heat exchanger. You
could damage it an cause leaks.

7. Clean heat exchanger.
It is best to use a brush or to rinse thoroughly with a shower head.

8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn both lock washers
outwards until they snap into place).

9. Close base door.

3 The dryer will not operate if the HEAT EXCHANGER indicator is still lit.
1 Caution! Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.

19

Cleaning the drum

1 Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.
3 Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on

the inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried
is then no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expect­ed when removed from the dryer.

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe
down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean operating screen and housing

1 Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to

clean the machine.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.
