Environmental information
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.
The heat pump of your tumble dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit filled with a refrigerant which is free from fluoro-chloro-hydrocarbons. The refrigerant circuit in the heat
pump must not be damaged.
WARNING!
When a unit is no longer being used:
• Pull the plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.
• Dispose of the door catch. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside and
endangering their lives.
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;
Page 6
6 Installation
– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;
– Spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning
speed - lower energy consumption.
INSTALLATION
Transporting the appliance
Only tip the appliance on its left side to transport
(see illustration), if it cannot be transported in an
upright position.
WARNING!
If the appliance was not transported in an upright
position, leave it to stand for 12 hours before connecting it to the electricity supply and
using it for the first time, so that the oil can flow back to the compressor. Otherwise the
compressor could be damaged.
Appliance positioning
• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the appliance is positioned close to your
washing machine.
• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.
• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front
ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the appliance.
• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the tumble dryer is in use, it should be
placed on a firm, level surface.
• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the tumble dryer is absolutely level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile
carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere
with the operation of the appliance.
• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.
• When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C
and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.
• Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door a door with a
hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance in such a way that a full opening of
the tumble dryer is restricted.

USING THE APPLIANCE
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS programme group.
• Sort by symbol on the cloth label: The care labels mean:
Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer
Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer at normal temperature
Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer at reduced temperature
Not applicable to dry in the tumble dryer
Do not put in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as
being applicable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as applicable to
tumble dry.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL programme. Before the drying
cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together of almost the same or the same material, colour and weight. Please dry
heavy laundry items made of wool separately.
Preparing laundry preparation
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties
or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, 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.
Do not overload the appliance. Observe max. loading volume of 7 kg.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning fluff filter
The filters collect all the fluff which collect during drying. To ensure that the tumble dryer
works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine filter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after
each drying cycle.
The warning icon
CAUTION!
Do not operate the tumble dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters.
1. Open loading door
2. Use a moist hand to clean the micro-
fine filter, which is built into the lower
part of the loading aperture.
3. After a period of time, a gleam because
of detergent residue on laundry forms
on the filters. When this occurs, clean
the filters with warm water using a
brush. Remove the filter from the door
pulling it out. It can be positioned with
the tooth facing to the left or to the
right).
After cleaning do not forget to put it
back.

5. Take out fine strainer.
6. Remove fluff from fine strainer. It is
best to use a moist hand for this purpose.
Clean the full filter area
The strainer area does not have to be
cleaned after every drying cycle, but
should be checked regularly and
cleaned of fluff if necessary.
7. To do this, grip the top of the large
mesh filter and pull it forwards until it
comes loose from the 2 brackets.
8. Remove fluff from the full filter area. It
is best to use a vacuum cleaner for this
purpose.
9. Push both journals of the large mesh
filter into the brackets on the loading
door until they snap into place.
10. Re-insert fine strainer.
11. Push against the large mesh filter until
it locks into the interlock.
If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large
mesh filter will not snap into place and the
loading door cannot be closed.
Cleaning the door seal
Clean the door seal with a moist cloth immediately after the drying cycle is completed.
Emptying the water reservoir
Empty the water reservoir after each drying cycle.

2. Pour condensed water out into a basin or
similar receptacle.
3. Slide outlet connections in and refit wa-
ter reservoir.
If the programme has been interrupted as
a result of the water reservoir being full:
Push the START PAUSE button to continue the drying cycle.
The water from the water reservoir can be
used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing.
But first filter the water (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove residue and small pieces of the
fluff.
Cleaning heat exchanger filters
If the indicator clean base filters lights up, the heat exchanger fluff filters in the base of
the appliance must be cleaned, i.e. after each 3 drying cycles. Both filters are located in the
appliance base.
Water can collect in the filter housing therefore it is normal for the heat exchanger fluff
filters to become wet.

• Do not operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filters.
• Clogged filters cause higher energy consumption (drying cycle elongation) and tumble
dryer damage.
• A dirty heat pump can only be cleaned up with a costly process.

6. Insert the fluff filter into the base a. Insert
the second fluff filter into the filter housing (it has to audibly lock) and slide it inside the filter chamber b. Close the door
in plinth. Note: If the fluff filter is not in-
serted in the filter housing, the filter
housing cannot be slide into the appliance base.
7. As necessary, approx. once every 6
months, remove the fluff from the heat
exchanger using the sponge supplied.
When doing this, please use rubber
gloves.
Tip: The fluff can be removed more easily if it
is first dampened (e. g. with a laundry dampener) or with the help of vacuum cleaner.
ab
To clean the drum
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive materials to clean the drum. Use a soft detergent to clean the inner
side of the drum and the drum blades.
Keep the inner surface of the drum and the drum blades clean. The minerals from the water
or cleaning agents can collect on the inner surface of the drum. This cause that the laundry
is not sufficient dry.
Clean operating screen and housing
CAUTION!
Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the appliance.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.

Changing the bulb for interior lighting
Only use a special bulb which is designed specially for dryers. The special bulb can be obtained from your local service centre.
When the appliance is switched on, the interior lighting switches itself off after 4 minutes
when the door is open.
WARNING!
Do not use standard bulbs! These develop too much heat and may damage the appliance!
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the mains plug; with a permanent connection: fully
unscrew or deactivate the fuse.
1. Unscrew cover above the bulb (this can be found directly behind the loading aperture,
at the top; refer to "Description of machine" section.)
2. Replace defective bulb.
3. Screw cover back down.
Check the correct positioning of o-ring gasket before screwing back the door light cover.
Do not operate the dryer when missing o-ring gasket on door light cover.
WARNING!
For safety reasons, the cover must be screwed down tightly. If this is not done, the dryer
must not be operated.
