Energy-saving tips
■ Spin the laundry before drying.
The drier the laundry, the shorter
the drying time will be, thus
consuming less energy.
■ Load the dryer with the maximum
load.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programs, as this
prolongs the drying time
and increases energy consumption.
■ Ventilate the room and keep the air
inlet on the dryer free to ensure air
exchange.
■ Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle. If the fluff filter is dirty,
the drying time is prolonged
and energy consumption is
increased.
■ Energy saving mode: If the dryer is
not operated for a prolonged period,
it automatically switches off before
the program starts and when
the program has ended to save
energy. The display panel
and indicator lamps go off after
a few minutes and the Start button
flashes. To activate the lighting,
press any button, open or close
the dryer door or turn the program
selector.

Preparing the laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosion/fire!
Remove any cigarette lighters and
matches from pockets.
Caution!
The dryer drum and fabrics could be
damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets and
observe the following information:
■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■ Close zips, hooks and eyelets and
buttons. Button up large items of
laundry, such as covers.
■ Remove any metal objects, such as
paper clips, from pockets.
■ To ensure a consistent drying result,
sort laundry by fabric type and
drying programme.
■ Always dry very small items of
laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together
with large items such as towels.
■ Knitted fabrics such as T-shirts and
jerseys often shrink the first time they
are tumble-dried. Use a gentle
programme.
■ Do not overdry easy-care laundry.
This increases creasing of the
laundry.
■ Use timed programmes for single
garments.
■ Some detergents and care products,
e.g. starch or softeners, contain
particles which may be deposited on
the moisture sensor. This may impair
the sensor function and in
consequence the drying result.
Notes
– When washing laundry to be
tumble-dried, use the correct
amount of detergent and care
products as specified in the
manufacturer's instructions.
– Clean the moisture sensor
regularly ~ Page 29.
Sorting washing according to:
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature
` Dry at low temperature
b Do not tumble-dry
Note: Do not load laundry from the
washing machine directly into the
tumble dryer. Sort the spun laundry
before placing it in the dryer drum.
If you dry thin, thick and multi-layer
fabrics together, they will dry to differing
degrees. To achieve an even drying
result, you should therefore only dry
together laundry of the same type of
fabric and structure. If you feel that the
laundry is still too damp, you can select
a timed programme for subsequent
drying ~ Page 20.
Caution!
Possibility of material damage to the
dryer or laundry.
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:
■ Laundry contaminated with oil.
■ Unwashed fabrics.
■ Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-
coated).
■ Easily damaged fabrics such as silk,
synthetic curtains.

Clean the fluff filter
Note: During drying, fluff and hair from
the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter.
If the fluff filter is blocked or dirty, this
reduces the flow of air, which prevents
the dryer from achieving its maximum
performance. Clean fluff filters also
reduce energy consumption
and the drying time.
Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle:
1. Open the dryer door and remove
all fluff from the door.
2. Remove the fluff filter.
3. Remove the fluff from the recess in
the fluff filter.
6. Dry the fluff filter, close it and reinsert
the fluff filter.
Caution!
The dryer may be damaged.
Do not operate the dryer without a fluff
filter or if the fluff filter is defective.
Note: Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Open the fluff filter and remove
all the fluff.
5. Rinse away the fluff under running
water or clean the fluff filter in
the dishwasher.

Emptying the condensate container
By default, the condensation from the
appliance runs into the condensation
container.
Alternatively, you have the option of
discharging the condensation water
supplied depending on the model. If you
choose to discharge the condensation
water into the waste-water system, you
will not need to empty the condensation
container during the drying programme
or after each time you use the dryer.
1. Pull out the condensate container
horizontally.
2. Pour out the condensation water.
*
3. Push in the condensate container
until you feel it lock back into place
in the dryer.
Caution!
Dirty condensation water may be harmful to your health and cause material damage.
Condensation water is not suitable
for drinking and may be
contaminated with fluff. Do not drink
the condensation water or reuse it.

:Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock as the
dryer is operated with electricity.
Disconnect the dryer from the mains
before cleaning.
Clean the dryer using only water and a
soft, damp cloth.
Remove all detergent residue, spray
residue or other residues immediately.
Do not use cleaning agents or agents
for pre-treating laundry (e.g. prewash
sprays, stain removers). Do not use
high-pressure cleaners or steam jet
cleaners to clean your appliance.
Cleaning the heat exchanger
Notes
■ Clean the heat exchanger several
times a month if you use the dryer
more than twice a week.
■ If there is debris in the heat
exchanger, this will increase the
amount of time required for drying
and will compromise the drying
results.
3. Turn both locking levers towards
each other.
4. Remove the top cap from the heat
exchanger.
5. Remove the heat exchanger.
6. Flush water through the heat
exchanger from all sides to
completely remove all fluff.
1. Allow the dryer to cool down and
place an absorbent cloth beneath
the maintenance flap.
Note: Residual water may leak out.
2. Open the maintenance flap fully.
28
Caution!
There is a risk of damage to the heat exchanger.
Only use water to clean the heat
exchanger, and do not use any hard
objects or objects with sharp edges
to remove the fluff.
7. Remove all fluff from the seals on
the dryer and on the heat exchanger.
8. Allow all the water to drip off.
Cleaning en
9. First insert the heat exchanger, and
then fit the heat exchanger's top cap
in place.
10.Turn both locking levers back and
close the maintenance flap until it
locks into place.
11.Close the maintenance flap and
press on it until you feel it click in
place.
Cleaning the moisture sensor
Note: The dryer is equipped with a
stainless-steel moisture sensor. The
moisture sensor measures how damp
the laundry is.
After long periods of usage the moisture
sensor may become covered by a fine
layer of limescale or residues of
detergents and care products. Such
residues must be removed regularly as
the sensor function and in consequence
the drying result may be impaired.
Open the door and clean the moisture
sensor with a coarse sponge.
Caution!
Moisture sensor may be damaged.
Do not clean moisture sensors with
abrasives and steel wool.

Not a fault. The moisture sensors detect the remaining moisture in the load and
adjust the programme length (except timed programmes).
■ After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually
is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
■ Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not
increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier ~ Page 22.
■ Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level.
This does not increase the temperature.
■ Select a timed programme for subsequent drying of laundry that is still
damp ~ Page 20.
■ If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry
may not be dried properly.
■ Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered by
a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products which
then impair its function. Your laundry is not being dried correctly

■ Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because
the condensate container is full or because the maximum drying time has
