1 Safety
Prior to initial start up
• Note the ”Installation and connection instructions”
• Before first starting up, check the machine for any damage incurred
during transport. Never connect a damaged machine. If parts are
damaged, contact your supplier.
Intended use
• The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in domestic environments.
• 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!
• 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 dam-
aged. 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 lampcover for the interior light must be screwed down tightly.
5
Child safety
• Keep packaging away from children. Risk of suffocation!
• Children can often not see the dangers associated with electrical ap-
pliances. 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 our qualified engineers 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 remove
the fuse.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.
• When removing from the socket, never pull the mains plug by the ca-
ble, instead take a hold of the plug.
• Adapter 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.

2 Environmental tips
• 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.

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.
