Disposal
Where to leave the packaging?
The plastic wrapping must not get into the hands of children! Risk of suffocation!
The packaging is made of materials which can be recycled.
• Separate the packing material by type:
- Styropor® parts and plastic wrapping go to a valuable substance collection point;
- Battens go into bulky refuse. The packaging is not to be disposed of in the regular household garbage!
What to do with the old appliance?
Dispose of your old appliance in an
environmentally friendly manner.
• Ask you dealer or your local garbage collection service how to best dispose of your old appliance.
Before giving the appliance into bulky garbage, disconnect it from the mains, cut off the power cable and disable the door lock– so children will not be endangered.
Installation
The proper location
For drying the appliance requires a sufficient
supply of clean, cool room air.
Do not operate the appliance together with furnaces (gas,61, oil-, coal-fired) or fireplaces. The airflow may aspirate their exhaust fumes, withdraw oxygen and extinguish flames. Poisoning hazard!
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 load bearing 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 Advice
The length of the hose and the highest point over the floor have to be taken into consideration for the draining of the water.
Important:
Place appliance on an even and level floor
only.
Do not place appliance on the power
cable.
Keep at least 1 cm distance to walls or
other furniture.
Washer/dryer combination
This appliance can be put on top of any of our washing machines.
A special stacking kit is required (stock
no.2955600100), available at the customer service or specialized dealer.
Leveling
Adjust feet until the appliance is leveled and does not rock. Checking with a spirit level is recommended.
Important:
•Adjust by the feet only, do not use wooden wedges or similar. Never remove the feet!
Changing hinge position
If you wish to open the door to the other side, you can have the hinge position changed from left hand to the right and or vice versa by our customer service.
Install the hose without kinks! Install as follows: 1 . At the water drainage connecting pull up
the condensate hose out of the appliance by hand. Don’t use pliers!
2. Connect the drain hose securely to the water drainage connection.
3. Lay and connect the drain hose to the drainage
Connecting the drain hose
The water (condense water) accumulated during the drying process is caught in the water tank, which you have to empty after every drying.
You can drain the water continuously through the included drain hose by connecting it to a spout or other water drainage.
In this case you don’t need to empty the water tank after every drying cycle. The indicator “Empty water tank” will flash anyway at the end of every program. .
4. Secure the drain hose against slipping when hang it over the sink or tub.
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance to an appropriately
installed and sufficiently protected plug.
Important:
The connection has to adhere to the
regulations of your country and electricity supplier.
The electrical cable as to be reachable after
installation.
With a permanent connection a main
switch with at least 3mm connection distance has to be used.
Current and fuse protection of the
appliance is available on the type plate ( on the back wall and behind the door)
- The current of the appliance can be adjusted to the electrical infrastructure – and safety calibration in your area.
To change the current consumption from 16 A to 10 A: Switch on the On/off­switch. Adjust the program selector to “Single Piece”. Press the Signal-Deselecting-Button for 3 seconds. The first two control lamps of the program process indicator flash. After pressing the “time delay” button only the control lamp “Drying” flashes. Your appliance is now adjusted to 10A.
If you press the “Time delay” button again it will back from 10 A to 16 A.

The declared current has to be the same
with your mains voltage.
A connection through an extension
cable or multiple sockets is improper.
During connection the On/Off –switch
has to be on Off.
Is the electrical cable damage, it has to be replaced by an authorized technician. The appliance cannot be used until the repair! Risk of electric shock!
The first time
Before drying the first time, clean off
the drum from any production residue with a wet cloth.
During the first drying you might
experience a slight discomforting smell.
Before Drying
What can be dried
• The laundry should have been spin-dried as much as possible – as long as the type of textile permits it. Always follow the care symbols on the labels!

After the drying...
Fluff filter
It comes to the so called fiber wear (“fluff”) by wearing the clothes – not through drying. This fluff is caught by the fluff filter during drying.
Clean the fluff filter after every drying.
Important Advice
Do not pull the water tank during a running program.
You also can drain the water constantly through the included drain hose (see “Connecting the drain hose”)
To clean the fluff filter:
1. Open door.
2. Pull the fluff filter out of the door.
3. Remove fluff carefully by hand or with a
wet, soft cloth.
4. Insert fluff filter the right way round.
The water tank
During the drying process, the wet clothes are deprived of its water through vaporizing.
The water vapor cools again (condenses), and is caught in the water tank.
Emptying the water tank:
1. Pull the water tank carefully from the slit.
2. Support the tank underneath with your
second hand.
3. Open the latch of the water tank
4. Pour out the water
5. If fluff is present on the latch, please
remove it. Press the latch shut. Insert the water tank fully.
Important Advice Condense water is not drinking water! If
you filter it (i.e. through a coffee filter) you may use it for your ironing or air humidifier.
Empty the water tank:
• after the drying or
• if during drying the indicator “Empty tank” flashes.
The air cooler
In the air cooler (condenser) the warm and humid air stream is cooled with cold room air, hence precipitating water.
Please clean the air cooler
- After 20 times drying or
- Once a month
Cleaning the air cooler:
1. Open the door. Wait till the appliance has
cooled down
2. Open the slit. Unlock the 3 red colored
fasteners.
3. Pull out the air cooler by the handle.
4. Rinse Air cooler with running water. Let
the water drip off.
Drum ribs
On the rips in the inside of the drum are
humidity sensors, with which the appliance detects, if the laundry is dry.
Clean drum ribs
- After 50 times drying or
- 4 times a year.
To clean the drum ribs:
1. Open the door. Wait till the appliance has
cooled down.
2. Wipe all drum ribs with a soft, dipped in
vinegar, cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
5. Insert the air cooler – with the labeling on top- fully. Lock the fasteners. Close the slit.
