Installation
The proper location
For drying the appliance requires a sufficient supply of clean, cool room air.
Do not operate the appliance togetherwith furnaces (gas-, oil-, coal-fired) or
fireplaces. The airflow may aspirate their
exhaust fumes, withdraw oxygen and
extinguish flames. Poisoning hazard!
3
Page 5
Operate the appliance only in well
ventilated, low dust rooms. Do not
block or cover the appliance's vent
slots.
The floor must have a sufficient loadbearing capacity! If, for example, you
are stacking a washer and the dryer,
this combination can – when loaded –
reach a total weight of 160 kg.
Important:
•Place appliance on an even and level
floor only.
•Do not stand appliance on the power
cable.
• Keep at least 1 cm distance to walls or
other furniture.
Vent exhaust air out of doors!
The appliance has three exhaust outlets, at
the rear and the side panels; the side outlets are closed by removable covers.
The exhaust air should not be simply
led into the room, since the high humidity may cause longterm damage
to walls and furniture.
•Connect the vent tube with the 90°
offset connector or the straight one
to one of the exhaust
air outlets.
The exhaust air must not be led into
flues or chimneys of fireplaces. Check
with your chimney sweeper or heating
engineer.
•Instead of the vent tube vent pipes
can be used. The diameter should be
at least 10 cm.
•Tube or pipe, respectively, should be
routed in the straightest and most direct pathoutdoors, i.e. with the fewest
number of elbows and turns, as these
hamper airflow.
•The maximum length of a straight
routed tube/pipe is given in the chart
below.
• For each elbow and other obstructions
the respective value shown is to be deducted from the maximum length.
•The two other outlets not used must
be closed by the covers.
The vent tube
– can be run through an open window
to the outside;
– can be connected to a wall-mount
vent.

be an annoyance caused by bad smell.
Before Drying
What can be dried
•The laundry should be spin-dried as
much as possible – to the extent permissible for the respective fabric.
Always observe the care symbols
shown on the garment labels!
Drying in dryer not possible:
Sensitive fabrics (viscose, silk,
etc.); curtains
5
Page 7
•Tumble dry only textiles labelled accordingly – and only with the appropriate drying programme.
•If possible load textiles of the same
kind; thin tea towels will dry much
quicker than thick bath towels.
•Remove metal parts (buckles, etc.) or
put textiles in a linen bag or similar.
•Empty pockets, remove all foreign objects (coins, pens, etc.). Close zippers,
hooks and eyes.
What must not be dried
Do not load dripping wet laundry in
the dryer. The dryer may be damaged,
and the energy consumption will be
excessively high.
– Sensitive fabrics (silk, curtains, etc.)
may crease.
– Downfilled textiles (pillows, duvets)
are not suitable.
– Air-tight (rubberized) textiles.
– Foam or rubber parts (shoulder pads
and the like) might deform and damage laundry or appliance.
– Textiles that were treated with clean-
ers or dry-cleaned.
The vapours generated may cause a
risk of fire or explosion, poisoning hazard or damage to the appliance!
The right amount
•The maximum load capacity depends
on the textile type and the corresponding drying programme.
Please note the information given in
the "Programme Table"! Overloading
the drum has an adverse effect on the
drying result.
Always try to utilise the maximum
load capacity.
The door
• To open, push the door.
• Put laundry loosely in the drum.
• Close the door; push against the door
until you hear the door lock engage.
Take care no textiles are caught by the
door.

Special programmes
A number of special programmes are also
available:
–
One Piece
Drying at reduced temperature in 30 min.
up to 1.5 kg load, for all types of fabrics.
–Short Delicate Program
Extra gentle drying at an reduced tem-
perature and limited programme duration of approx. 20 minutes. Textiles
such as fine textiles, delicate underwear
and accessories like scarf can be dried
by this programme.
Tumble dry only textiles labelled
accordingly.
Textiles marked with P ( chemical cleaning)
or must be handwashed can be treated in
this programme by using special care
products. Cleaning respectively fluffing of
pulls, throusers, dresses, jackets, costumes,
etc. is achieved. The care products are
adapted for use for clothes in cotton, mixt
fibres, wool, silk and linen.
By using a sheet impregnated with a special
active solution, small stains can be removed
before to introduce the laundry piece into the
dryer. In case of bigger sized and already dry
or crusted stains the cleaning by professionals
is recommended.
The active solution sheet removes also bad
smellings during the program ( e.g. cigarette
smoke).
For extrem sensitive textiles the use of a laundry
bag is recommended.
Application:
1. Before fluffing in the dryer all small and fresh
stains must be removed.
2. Introduce 1 to 4 pieces into the drum or first
into the laundry bag.
3. Select on program selector the program
“Short Delicates”.
4. When program is finished, take laundry
pieces out from the drum or the laundry bag
and place them over a hanger to avoid creasing.

of the drying level.
Anti-crease
If the textiles cannot be removed from the
dryer after completion of the drying cycle,
this anti-creasing cycle will automatically start,
separate and smooth your drying to reduce
creasing.
Throughout this anti-crease stage the
drum rotates briefly every 25 seconds
for 2 hours; at the same time a buzzer
sounds. And display will show a bar

After drying...
Fluff filter
Fluff balls are rubbed off by wearing the
clothes – not by drying. When drying,
these fluff balls are trapped in the fluff filter.
It is absolutely necessary to clean the
fluff filter after every drying cycle.
To clean the fluff filter:
1. Open the door.
2. Pull the fluff filter out of the door.
Drum ribs
At the rips on the inside of the drum are
moisture sensors, signalling to the appliance when the textiles are dry.
Clean drum ribs
– after approx. 20 drying cycles, or
– four times a year.
To clean the drum ribs:
1. Open the door. Wait for the appliance
to cool down.
2. Wipe all drum ribs with a soft cloth
moistened with vinegar. Wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
Do not use solvents, naphtha or similar! Fire or explosion hazard!
3. Carefully remove the fluff balls – by
hand or with a soft, dry cloth.
4. Insert fluff filter the right way round.
