Ductwork

To ensure optimum performance, the

ducting system of the dryer should be as short as possible with a minimum number of elbows. Your dryer will work best when the venting system has as

few air flow restrictions as possible.

Exhaust ducting which is longer than recommended may extend drying time, cause lint to accumulate and affect dryer performance and dryer life-time.

Four-inch (approx. 100 mm) diameter ducting should be used. Use either rigid metal or flexible metal ducting material. DO NOT use plastic or non-metal duct

with this dryer.

DO NOT assemble the ductwork with screws or fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as an accumulation point for lint. Joints should be secured with aluminum tape.

All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each duct section must point away from the dryer.

Whether connecting to an existing venting system or a new venting system, make sure that all ducting is clean and free of lint.

Drying tips

In principle, the following applies to all drying programs:

- To ensure a uniform drying result, sort the laundry according to fabric type and drying program.

- Fasten zippers, hooks and eyes. Fasten loose belts, apron strings, etc..

- Do not overdry easy-care laundry risk of wrinkling! Leave laundry to dry in the air.

- Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Place the laundry in a pile for a short while. Residual moisture will then be distributed uniformly.

- Knitted textiles (e.g. T-shirts, cotton jersey laundry) often shrink when dried for the first time. Do not use the "Very dry/Extra dry" program.

Program selection Time programs

Indicator of program sequence

The dryer uses an eiectronic scanning system for aii programs except the time

programs . A moisture sensor

continuousiy checks the moisture in the

iaundry. Drying ends automaticaiiy as

soon as the seiected degree of dryness

has been reached. The drum continues to rotate at specific intervais for one hour to

prevent creasing. The current degree of drying and the

ievei reached during the program sequence is indicated via indicator

iights (Drying, Damp dry, Reguiar dry, Wrinkie biock).

Permanent Press ECOSENSOR

The program sequence of automatic programs is controiied via sensors. The duration of the program depends on the measured degree of moisture in the iaundry and on the seiected degree of dryness (e.g. Damp dry or Extra dry).

Wipe the housing and fascia with a soft cloth and soapy water only.

Wipe the drum, door seal and inside of the door with a damp cloth only.

Cleaning the lint filter

A dirty filter extends the drying time and increases energy consumption.

The filter should be cleaned before and after each drying process.

If a warning signal and an E01 warning message are emitted during a drying program, clean the filter immediately and check the exhaust duct.

Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the drying time.

□ Turn off the circuit breaker □ Pull out power supply plug □ Disconnect the duct from the

dryer.

□ Vacuum and reconnect the duct.

Cleaning the moisture sensor

The moisture sensor has to be cleaned

because a fine layer of transparent buildup is deposited on the sensors.
