Instructions for use
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

• 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!
• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or
cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in the
tumble dryer.
• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle before loading your tumble dryer.
5
• Clean the fluff filter in the base of the appliance 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.
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.

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 (BAUMWOLLE SCHRANKTROCKEN) programme.

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 residue which may have been produced during
production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a
brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths.
Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS (BAUMWOLLE) pro-
gramme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES (MISCH-
GEWEBE) programme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
n m l k
Basic drying in tumble
dryer possible
Drying at
normal
temperature
Drying at
reduced temperature
Drying in tumble
dryer not
possible
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laun-
dry items. Textile colours may bleed.
• Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY (EXTRA
TROCKEN) programme. Items may become stuck!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOLLE)
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 respect 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 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.

3 The drying cycles (except for the WOOL programme) are automatically
followed by a crease guard phase which lasts around 30 minutes. The
drum rotates in intervals during this phase. The laundry thereby remains relaxed and free of creases. The laundry can be removed at any
time during the crease guard phase. (The laundry should be taken out
towards the end of the crease guard phase at the latest to prevent
creases from forming.)
If LONG ANTICREASE (KNITTERSCHUTZ +) has been selected, the anticrease phase is lengthened by 60 minutes.
1. Open loading door
2. Before removing the laundry, remove lint from the micro-fine filter. It is
best to use a damp hand for this purpose (refer to “Cleaning and maintenance” section).
3. Remove laundry.
4. Turn the programme selector to OFF (AUS).
Important! After each drying cycle
– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer,
– drain the condensate tank
(refer to the “Cleaning and maintenance” section).
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 (BEHÄLTER) 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. Pull drawer containing condensate
tank out all the way (1). Pull out
condensate tank’s outlet connections (2).
2. Pour condensate out into basin or
other suitable container.
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 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 the fluff filter
If the indicator CLEAN FILTER BASE (SIEB SOCKEL) lights up, the fluff
filter and the filter mat in the base 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.
18
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.
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.
19
6. To clean the filter mat:
Remove filter mat from filter housing. To do this, press the pressure
points on the sides and pull the filter mat and frame up and out of
the housing.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Re-insert filter housing along with
frame and filter mat in appliance base.
Note: If the filter mat and frame are not inserted in the filter housing,
the filter housing cannot be slid into the appliance base.
11. Close door in plinth.
3 The indicator CLEAN FILTER BASE (SIEB SOCKEL) only goes out when the
programme knob has been positioned to OFF.
20
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
