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 A (Start/Pause)
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.
■ If you do not perform any actions on
the appliance for an extended period
when it is in energy-saving mode, the
appliance automatically switches
itself off.

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 41.
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
27
Page 28
en Laundry
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 23
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
Condensation will form in the appliance
as it dries the laundry.
If there is no drain hose connected to
the appliance, the condensation water
from the appliance will run into the
condensation container. In this case,
you will need to empty the condensation
container each time the dryer finishes
drying the laundry, and also if it
becomes full before drying is complete.
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

the condensation water or reuse it.
31
Page 32
en Operating the appliance
3. Push the condensation container
back into the appliance until you feel
it lock into place.
Note: The filter in the condensation
container filters the condensation water,
which is used during the appliance's
automatic cleaning cycle. The filter is
cleaned by emptying out the
condensation water. You should still
check the filter regularly for any buildup, and remove this if necessary.
~ "Cleaning the filter in the
condensation container" on page 41
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.
32
Page 33
Operating the appliance en
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,
snap them shut and reinsert the
filter.
Caution!
Material damage/damage to the
appliance
If you operate the appliance without a
fluff catcher (e.g. fluff filter, fluff depot,

■ In the base unit, make sure that:
– The heat exchanger cover is properly locked.
– There is no dirt or debris on the heat exchanger cover's seal.

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 actu-
ally 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 timed program for a small load and individual items of laundry.
■ Do not exceed the maximum load for a programme.~ Page 23
■ 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.~ Page 41
■ Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the conden-
sation container is full or because the maximum drying time has been
exceeded.
Note: See also the laundry tips.~ Page 27
