Before the first drying cycle
If the appliance was not transported in an upright position, leave it to
1
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.
1. In order to remove any residues which may have been produced during
production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or carry out a brief
drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths in the machine.
Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
• Sorting by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in the COTTON programme group.
– Mixed fibres and synthetics for programmes in the EASY CARES
programme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
n m l k
Drying in
the tumble dryer
possible in principle
Dry at normal
temperature
Dry at
reduced temperature
Drying in the
tumble dryer
not possible
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laun-
dry items. Textile colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA DRY pro-
gramme. 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 which are similar
or the same with repect to material, colour and weight. Please dry
heavy laundry items made of wool separately.
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet cov-
ers 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.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning lint filter
To ensure that the dryer works efficiently, the lint 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 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 elevates.
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 lugs 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 door cannot be
closed.
Cleaning the door seal
Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth immediately after the drying cycle has finished.
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.
17
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).
2. Pour condensed water out into a
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 the fluff filter
If the indicator CLEAN FILTER BASE lights up, the fluff filter in the
plinth of the appliance must be cleaned.
3 To protect the heat pump from dirt, the dryer is fitted with a special fil-
ter mat, which is located in the filter housing. Here too large amounts
of fluff build up over time, which affect the function of the appliance.
• Check the filter mat regularly.
• Clean the filter mat after about every 20th drying cycle or every sec-
ond month at the latest.
1 Important
• Operating when the fluff filter is clogged with fluff can damage the
dryer. This also increases energy consumption.
• Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters.
• Do not use the dryer without the filter mat. A dirty heat pump re-
quires more energy and can only be cleaned up by means of a costly
process.
18
1. Open door.
2. Open door in plinth: To do this,
press the release button on the
bottom of the door aperture and
open the door in the plinth to the
left.
3. Pull filter housing out of the base
by the handle.
4. Clean the inside of the door, the
fluff filter chamber and the rubber
seals of fluff.
5. Remove fluff from the fluff filter
on the floor of the base with a
damp hand.
6. To clean the filter mat:
Remove the holder from the filter
housing. To do this press the pressure points on the sides and pull
the holder up out of the housing.
7. Pull the filter mat and its frame up
out of the filter housing.
8. Take the filter mat out of the frame
and wash it by hand or use a vacuum cleaner, when it is has dried
out. Fluff, which has become stuck
in the filter mat and has not been
removed by washing, does not affect the function.
19
9. Insert the filter mat in the frame
and then insert with the frame into
the filter housing.
1 Important: The filter mat must en-
gage tightly with the frame. Check
that the mat is sitting snuggly in
the frame, especially after inserting
it into the filter housing.
10. Insert holder into the filter housing.
11. 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.
12.Re-insert filter housing with holder
and filter mat in the base of the appliance.
Note: If the holder and filter mat are not inserted in the filter housing,
the filter housing cannot be pushed into the base of the appliance.
13.Close door in plinth.
3 The indicator CLEAN FILTER BASE only goes out when the programme
knob has been positioned to OFF.
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 damp cloth, which has been soaked in water and a little vinegar,
to wipe 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.
