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!

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, 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.

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.

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

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.
