Do not operate appliance in locations where there is a danger of freezing. Some parts contain water and may be damaged by frost.
3
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 an level floor only.
• Do not stand appliance on the power cable.
• Keep at least 1 cm distance to walls or other furniture.
Built-under installation
This appliance can be installed under a worktop.
For this a special top cover is required (stock no. AP 2000), available at the customer service or specialised trade.
Only authorised specialists are permit­ted to carry out a built-under installa­tion. Risk of electric shock!
Washer/dryer combination
This appliance can be put on top of any of our washing machines.
• A special stacking kit is required (stock no. MBS2000), available at the cus­tomer service or specialised trade.
Drain hose connection
The water arising from drying (“con­densed water”) is normally collected in the condensed water container, which needs to be emptied after every drying cycle.
• The condensed water can also be
drained permanently by means of the drain hose supplied into a siphon trap or any other drain.
In that case the condensed water con­tainer needs no longer to be drained – nevertheless the >Reservoir full < indicator will light at the end of each drying cycle.
Important:
• In order for the water to run off ob­serve the maximum hose length and highest point above the floor (see “Technical Specifications”)!
• Ensure that there are no sharp bends in the hose!
Here's how to proceed:
1. At the water drain connector, pull the hose up from inside the appliance by hand. Do not use pliers!
Levelling
• Adjust feet until the appliance is level 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 right hand or vice versa by our customer service.
2. Push the drain hose firmly on the wa­ter drain connector.
3. Run the drain hose to the waste outlet of a washbasin and connect it.
4. If the drain hose is hung to the edge of a washbasin or bathtub, secure it against slipping off.
4
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance to a properly in­stalled earthed outlet, protected by a fuse of adequate capacity.
Important:
• The connection must conform to the applicable regulations in your country and of your local Electricity Board.
• The power cable plug must be accessi­ble after installation.
• For a firmly fixed connection a master switch with at least 3 mm contact clearance must be used.
• Voltage and fuse rating of the appli­ance is stated on the rating label (on the rear panel and behind the door).
Note down the appliance's model and identification number from the rat­ing label, in case you need help from customer service.
• The stated voltage must match with your mains voltage.
• Connection by extension cables or trail­ing sockets is not permitted.
• When connecting to the mains, the programme selector must be set to Stop.
A damaged power cable must be re­placed by an authorised qualified elec­trician. Until the appliance has been repaired it must not be operated! Risk of electric shock!
The first time
• To remove any possible residue from production wipe out the drum with a moist cloth before the first drying cycle
• During the first drying cycle there may be an annoyance caused by bad smell.
• Check to see if any water emerges from the appliance during the drying cycle. If necessary, push the drain hose on more tightly.
• The current of the appliance can be set according to the electrical infrastructure and fuse rating of your area. To change the current from 16 A to 10 A: Set the programme selector to >One piece<. Press the buzzer cancel button for 3 seconds. 16 will appear on the display. Press - button, 10 will appear on display, the appliance is set to 10 A.
To change the current from 10 A to 16 A: Follow the same route, this time press + to change it to 16 A.
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!
Care symbols for drying
Suitable for drying at high temperature:
Hot wash / coloured cottons, cotton, linen
Suitable for drying at re- duced temperature:
Easy-care synthetics (polyes­ter, polyamide); mixed fabrics (with cotton)
Drying in dryer not possible: Sensitive fabrics, curtains etc.
•Tumble dry only textiles labelled ac­cordingly – and only with the appro­priate drying programme.
•Only woollens suitable for machine wash may be put in the dryer; the cor­responding special programme will not dry but nicely soften it.
•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.
5
– Down filled textiles (pillows, duvets)
are not suitable. – Air-tight (rubberized) textiles. – Foam or rubber parts (shoulder pads
and the like) might deform and dam-
age laundry or appliance. – Textiles that were treated with clean-
ers or dry-cleaned.
The vapors 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.
Programmes
Programme selector
The programme selector can be turned ei­ther clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Pushing the On/Off button, the ap­pliance is turned on; the programme, however, will start only when the >Start< button is pressed.
When changing to a different pro­gramme the programme must be stopped first; in that case the >Start< button must be pressed for 2 sec. in order to cancel programme.
For detailed information about the individ­ual drying programmes, refer to the "Pro­gramme table".
Always choose a programme suitable for the textile type. Observe the care symbols shown on the garment labels!
The display will show the remaining time during the programs.
Standard programmes
Depending on the textile type, several standard programmes are available:
Cottons:
Drying at high temperature.
Easy-care:
Drying at reduced temperature.

ing
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.
Fluff/Refresh:
For refreshing or airing, for all types of fabrics.
Timed programmes
For final drying or airing your washing sev­eral timed programmes are available.
– 60min, 40min, 20min, 10min
Drying at a reduced temperature; the drying cycle will always end after the chosen time has elapsed, irrespective 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 4 minutes for 2 hours; at the same time a buzzer sounds. And display will show a bar rotating during this stage.
7
• If the buzzer sound is inconvenient, it can be muted (see below).
There is no need to press the button
again for the next drying cycle, be­cause the dryer remembers this setting.
• You may remove the textiles at any time and end the programme.
Optional Functions
Buzzer Cancel
At programme end and throughout the anti-crease stage (see above) a buzzer sounds.
• If this is inconvenient to you, press this button to mute the buzzer.
• There is no need to press the button again for the next drying cycle, be­cause the dryer remembers this setting.

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.
3. Carefully remove the fluff balls – by hand or with a soft, dry cloth.
4. Insert fluff filter the right way round.
Condensed water container
When drying, water is separated from air­stream of the moist laundry (“condensat­ed”). This water is collected in the con­densed water container.
The condensed water container needs emptying
after every drying cycle, or – if during the drying cycle the >Res-
ervoir full < indicator flashes; in that case the programme stops.
Do not pull the condensed water con­tainer out while the programme is running.
The condensed water can also be drained permanently by means of the drain hose supplied into a siphon trap or any other drain (see “Drain hose connection”).
Emptying the condensed water contain­er:
1. Pull condensed water container care­fully out off the fascia; hold the rear with the other hand.
2. Open the condensed water container's closure.
3. Pour the water out.
4. Remove any fluff balls from the clo­sure, if present. Close the closure.
5. Slide the condensed water container fully in.
Condensed water is no drinking wa­ter! However, after filtering (through a coffee filter) it can be used in a steam ironer or air humidifier.
Condenser
In the air cooler (“Condenser”) the moist, warm air stream is cooled by drawn-in cold room air, causing the water to sepa­rate.
The condenser shall be cleaned – after approx. 20 drying cycles, or – twice a month.
10
To clean the condenser:
1. Open the door. Wait for the appliance to cool down.
2. Open service door latch. The service door will open. Then turn the locking level .
3. Pull the condenser out at the handle.
4. Rinse condenser – vertically and hori- zontally – thoroughly under running water. Let water drain thoroughly.
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. 50 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.
5. Push condenser – with the lettering
embossed at the edge facing up – ful­ly in, then fix the locking level.
6. Close the service door.
Do not use solvents, naphtha or simi­lar! Fire or explosion hazard!
