en Energy-saving tips
7 Energy-saving tips
Energy-saving tips
■ Spin the laundry before drying. The
drier the laundry, the shorter the
programme will be, in turn reducing
energy consumption.
■ Load the appliance with the
maximum loads permitted for the
programmes.
Note: If the maximum load is
exceeded, this extends the programme
duration and increases energy
consumption.
■ Operate the appliance in a ventilated
room and make sure that the air inlet
on the appliance is unobstructed so
that air exchange can take place
unhindered.
■ Regularly remove the fluff from the
appliance. If there is fluff in the
appliance, this extends the
programme duration and increases
energy consumption.
■ If you do not perform any actions on
the appliance for an extended period
before the programme starts or once
the programme has ended, the
appliance will automatically switch to
energy-saving mode. The display
and indicator lights go out after a
few minutes and Έναρξη/Προσθήκη
ρούχων (Start/Reload) flashes. To
end energy-saving mode, all you
need to do is perform an action on
the appliance, such as opening and
closing the door.

Preparing laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosions/fire!
Certain objects may ignite when drying
is in progress, or even cause the
appliance to catch fire or explode.
Remove any lighters or matches from
pockets on items of clothing.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the drum and
laundry
Leaving objects in the pockets of your
clothing can cause damage to the drum
and laundry when the appliance is in
operation. Remove all objects (e.g.
metal items) from clothing pockets.
Prepare the laundry as follows:
■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■ Close zips, hooks, eyelets and
buttons. Button up large items of
laundry, such as covers.
■ Always dry very small items of
laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together
with large items such as towels.
■ Use timed programmes for single
items.
■ Knitted items, such as T-shirts and
jerseys, often shrink slightly the first
time they are tumble-dried. Use a
gentle programme.
■ Do not overdry easy-care laundry.
This leads to increased creasing of
your laundry.
■ Some detergents and care products,
e.g. starch or softeners, contain
particles that may accumulate on the
moisture sensor. This may impair the
sensor's performance and, in turn,
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 38.
Sorting laundry
Note: Load the laundry item by item
into the appliance. For more effective
drying, do not stuff an entire bundle of
laundry into the dryer at once.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the dryer or
laundry
Laundry that is unsuitable for tumbledrying may damage the appliance and
the laundry when it is dried. Before you
dry it, sort the laundry according to the
information given on the care label:
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature
` Dry at low temperature
b Do not tumble-dry
25
en Operating the appliance
When sorting the laundry to be dried,
take the following points into account:
■ To achieve an even drying result,
only dry laundry of the same type of
fabric and texture together.
If you dry thin, thick and multilayered fabrics together, they will dry
to differing degrees.
■ Use the fabric descriptions given for
the individual drying programmes to
help you choose the most
appropriate programme.
~ "Overview of programmes"
on page 22
Note: You can select a timed
programme to add extra drying time for
laundry that is still damp.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the
appliance and laundry
Do not tumble-dry the following items or
fabrics in the appliance:
■ Laundry contaminated with solvents,
wax or grease.
■ Unwashed items.
■ Items made from non-breathable
fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
■ Items made from delicate fabrics,
such as silk and curtains made of
synthetic material.

Emptying the condensation 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 condensation container
horizontally.
*
2. Pour out the condensation water.
Caution!
Risk of harm to health and material damage
Condensation water is not suitable
for drinking and may be
contaminated with fluff.
Contaminated condensation water
may be harmful to your health and
cause material damage. Do not drink
the condensation water or reuse it.
3. Push the condensation container
back into the appliance until you feel
it lock into place.

en Operating the appliance
Removing the fluff
Note: During drying, fluff and hair from
the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. If
the fluff filter is clogged or dirty, this
reduces the flow of air, preventing the
appliance from achieving optimal drying
results. Dirty fluff filters increase the
power consumption and increase the
required drying time.
Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle:
1. Open the door and remove all fluff
from it.
2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.
3. Remove the fluff from the fluff filter
recess. Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Pull the two-part fluff filter apart.
5. Open the two parts of the filter.
6. Remove all fluff from both parts of
the filter.

7. Rinse off fluff under warm, running
water.
8. Dry the two parts of the fluff filter,

Caution!
Material damage/damage to the
appliance
If you operate the appliance without a
fluff catcher (e.g. fluff filter, fluff depot,

Risk of accumulated water being drawn back into the appliance and causing material damage.
Check that the water drains away
quickly. The drain must not be
sealed or blocked.
The condensation water is now
discharged via the drain hose into the
waste-water system or into a washbasin.
The connection point must be
secured using a hose clamp (1222 mm clamping range, available
from specialist retailers).
When connecting to a siphon, make
sure that the drain hose is routed at
a height of at least 80 cm, but no
more than 100 cm.

The appliance has detected a high temperature and has started the
CoolDown process. Temperature regulation can take up to 10 minutes.
You can cancel the CoolDown process at any time by opening the door.
■ The door is closed
■ The E 3 δευτ. (Childproof lock) has been deactivated
■ You have pressed Έναρξη/Προσθήκη ρούχων (Start/Reload)
Note: If the programme has been delayed by setting ñ Λήξη σε (Ready
in), the programme starts at a later point.
Not a fault. The moisture sensor measures the residual moisture in the
laundry and adjusts the programme duration (with the exception of timed
programmes).
■ After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it
actually is. Spread out the laundry and let it cool down.
■ Adjust the drying time or increase the degree of dryness. This will
extend the drying time but the temperature will remain the same.
■ Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is
still damp.
■ Select a timed programme for a small load.
■ Do not exceed the maximum load for a programme.~ Page 22
■ Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become cov-
ered in a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product residue, which then impairs its performance.~ Page 38
■ Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the
condensation container is full or because the maximum drying time
has been exceeded.
Note: See also the laundry tips.~ Page 25

is increasing.
Unusual noises when drying. When drying is in progress, the pump and compressor generate noise
when operating normally. This does not indicate that the appliance is
malfunctioning.
The appliance feels cold
despite drying.
Not a fault. The appliance can dry effectively at low temperatures using a
heat pump.
Drying programme is stopped. If the drying programme is stopped due to a power failure, restart the
programme or remove the laundry and spread it out.
Drying is taking too long. ■ The appliance may have fluff in it. This will increase the required dry-
ing time.
– Remove the fluff.~ Page 30
– Clean the base unit. ~ Page 38
■ The heat exchanger may have fluff in it. If you can see fluff in the
exposed heat exchanger, clean it carefully using a vacuum cleaner.
~ Page 38
■ If the air inlet on the appliance is blocked or not fully open, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
■ If the ambient temperature is lower than 15 °C or higher than 30 °C,
this may increase the drying time.
■ Inadequate air circulation in the room may increase the drying time.
Make sure the room is adequately ventilated.
