Instructions for use
1 Safety
Before first starting up
• Note the ”Installation and connection instruc-
tions”
• 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!
• 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.
• 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 damaged. Risk of fire!
• Clean the heat exchanger regularly.
• With stacked washer and dryer: Do not place ob-
jects 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 machines. 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 operating 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

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 unobstructed;
– use the loading volumes specified in the pro-
gramme overview;
posed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste
handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local city office, your
household waste disposal service or the shop
where you purchased the product.
1 Warning! Remove mains plug from socket
when you have no further use for the machine.
Cut off mains cable and dispose of together
with plug.
Destroy loading door lock. Children cannot
then lock themselves in the machine and put
their lives at risk.
– ensure you have good ventilation in the installa-
tion 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.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with
light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may
bleed.
• Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA
DRY (EXTRA TROCKEN) programme. Items may
become stuck!
• Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-drying, wool may be dried with the
WOOL CARE (WOLLPFLEGE) 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.
