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.

• 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.

5

• 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 ma-

chines. 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 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.

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 (KATOEN KASTDROOG) programme.

5. Close loading door.

15

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning fluff filter

To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine fil­ter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after every drying cycle.

1 Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged

or blocked fluff filters.

1. Open loading door

2. Use a damp hand to clean the mi-

cro-fine filter, which is built into
the lower part of the loading aper­ture.

3. Push down unlock button on large
mesh filter.
Large mesh filter jumps up.

4. Take out fine strainer.

5. Remove fluff from fine strainer. It

is best to use a damp hand for this
purpose.

16

Clean the entire filter area

3 The strainer area does not have to be cleaned after every drying cycle,

but should be checked regularly and cleaned of fluff if necessary.

6. To do this, grip the top of the large
mesh filter and pull it forwards un­til it comes loose from the two
brackets.

7. Remove fluff from the entire filter
area. It is best to use a vacuum
cleaner for this purpose.

8. Press both journals of the large
mesh filter into the brackets on the
loading door until they snap into
place.

9. Re-insert fine strainer.

10. Press against the large mesh filter

until it locks into the interlock.

3 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

Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth immediately after the drying cy­cle has finished.

17

Emptying the condensate tank

Empty condensate tank after every drying cycle.
If the condensate tank is full, an active programme will break off auto-

matically and the EMPTY WATER (RESERVOIR) display will light up. In
order to continue the programme, the condensate tank must first be
emptied.

1 Warning! The condensate is not suitable for drinking or for preparing

foodstuffs.

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

2. Pour condensed water out into a
basin or similar receptacle.

3. Slide outlet connections in and re­fit condensate tank.

If the programme has been inter­rupted as a result of the conden­sate tank being full:
Press the START/PAUSE (START/
PAUZE) button to continue the
drying cycle.

3 The condensate tank 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 condensate can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing.

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

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the HEAT EXCHANGER (WARMTEWISSELAAR) 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.

18

1. Open loading door

2. Open base door. To do this, press

the release button on the bottom
of the loading opening and open
the door to the left.

3. Remove lint from the inside of the
door and the heat exchange cham­ber. Wipe the door seal with a
damp cloth.

4. Turn both lock washers inwards.

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 could
develop 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 (WARMTEWISSE-

LAAR) 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.

Guarantee conditions

Belgium

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.
Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our con­sumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the guarantee peri­od. The service life of the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.

This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the provi­sions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation are not
affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor's statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance is
guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge any
defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before
the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become
our property.

3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing the pur-

chase and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic),
synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.

6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the overall reli­ability of the appliance.

7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:

• a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,

• abnormal environmental conditions in general,

• unsuitable operating conditions,

• contact with harsh substances.

8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside of our re­sponsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installation or assembly, lack
of maintenance or failure to respect the assembly instructions or directions for use.

9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not qualified or expert
or defects that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare parts are not covered
by the guarantee.

10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services depart­ment. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appliances.

11 . If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that removing and re-

placing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour, the costs that result
therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage caused by these removal and replacement oper­ations will be the responsibility of the user.

12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the re­pair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with the consumer, the defective appli­ance may be replaced with another appliance of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according to the
length of time it has been used.

13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be extended nor
that a new guarantee period begins.

14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.

15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms excludes

any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer wishes to assert his
rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price
paid for the appliance.

29

These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For exported
appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical conditions (e.g.: voltage,
frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the country concerned and that they can
withstand the local climatic and environmental conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the
user must first ensure that they meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or re­quested adjustments are not covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases.

Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee period has
expired.
