Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS Baumwolle programme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS Mischgewebe pro-
gramme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
Drying in the tumble dryer possible
in principle
Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the
care label as being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as
suitable for tumble-drying.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may
shrink!
• 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 duvet covers 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.

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

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
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.

Changing the bulb for interior lighting
Only use a special bulb which is designed specially for dryers. The special bulb can
be obtained from the Customer Care Department, ET no. 112 552 000-5.
When the appliance is switched on, the interior lighting switches itself off
after 4 minutes when the door is open.
Do not use standard bulbs! These develop too much heat and may damage
the machine!
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the mains plug.
1. Unscrew cover above the bulb (this can be found directly behind the loading
aperture, at the top; refer to “Description of machine” section.)
2. Replace defective bulb.
3. Screw cover back down.
Check the correct positioning of o-ring gasket before screwing back the door light
cover. Do not operate the dryer when missing o-ring gasket on door light cover.
For safety reasons, the cover must be screwed down tightly. If this is not
done, the dryer must not be operated.

Water hardness
Water contains, a variable
quantity of limestone and
mineral salts of which quantities vary according to
geographical locations thus
varying its conductivity values.
Relevant variations of the
conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the
factory could slightly influence
the residual humidity of the
laundry at the end of the cycle.
Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying
sensor based on conductivity
values of the water.

Installation
Appliance positioning
• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to
your washing machine.
• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.
• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the
front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be
placed on a firm, level surface.
• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through
deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which
would interfere with the operation of the appliance.
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°
C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not
resistant to high temperatures.
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the
appliance.
Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.
The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door, a sliding door
a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.

Removing transport safety packaging
Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed.
1. Open loading door
2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of drum.
3.
Remove foil hose and polystyrene padding from the machine.
Electrical connection
Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses required should be taken
from the type plate. The type plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see “Product
description” chapter).
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through
failure to comply with the above safety precautions. Should the appliance
power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our
Service Center.
The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.

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 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 7kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS CUPBOARD
DRY Baumwolle Schranktrocken programme.
