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 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.

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.
Finishing setting mode Turn the programme selector to the "Off" position once you have set the required spin speed and the volume. The settings have now been saved.

The condensation is pumped into the condensate container by a pump. This generates pumping noises.
Cleaning en

D Cleaning

Cleaning
Cleaning the dryer and the control panel
: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 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.
Cleaning the EasyClean filter
When ç appears in the display panel, clean the EasyClean filter as follows:
1. First clean the fluff filter ~ Page 26.
2. Close the door of the dryer.
3. Open the maintenance flap on the
heat exchanger.
4. Release the levers on the EasyClean
filter.
5. Use the grip handle to pull the
EasyClean filter out.

6. Now take off the filter mat.
7. Wash out the filter mat by hand
using clean water.
Notes
– If the filter mat is covered with
stubborn dirt, you can also remove this carefully using a vacuum cleaner.
– Do not use cleaning agents.
8. Dry the filter mat by squeezing the
water out.
Note: Only use the filter mat if it is
clean and dry.
9. Put the filter mat back on.
10.Check how dirty the dryer's heat
exchanger is before putting the EasyClean filter back in. If it is very dirty, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to clean it carefully from top to bottom.

After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually
is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
Fine tune the dryness level. This extends the drying time but does not
increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier ~ Page 23.

This does not increase the temperature.
Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still
damp ~ Page 21.

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 in
a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product residue, which then impairs its performance. This prevents your laundry from being dried prop­erly ~ Page 29.
Drying has stopped as a result of a power cut, because the condensation
container is full or because the maximum drying time has been exceeded.
