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.

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.

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 21.
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.

Cancelling the programme
The programme can be interrupted at
any time; to pause, open the dryer door
or press the Start button.
Caution!
Risk of fire. Laundry may catch fire.
If you cancel the programme, you must
remove the laundry items and spread
them out so that the heat can disperse.

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

2. Pour out the condensation water.
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.
3. Push in the condensate container
until you feel it lock back into place
in the dryer.
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. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.
3. Remove the fluff from the recess in
the fluff filter.

Note: Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Pull apart the two-part fluff filter.

Noises
Note: During drying, particularly in the
initial phase, operation of the appliance
results in noise from the compressor
and pump. This is perfectly normal and
does not impair proper functioning of
the appliance.
From time to time, the compressor in
the dryer generates a humming noise.
However, the volume may vary
depending on the programme and
progress of the drying process.
Every now and then, the compressor is
ventilated. This creates a whirring noise.
Note: You can select other positions
with the programme selector; however,
you will be unable to change these
settings.

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.
