the mains cable and destroy
the lock on the dryer door.
Appliance safety
:Warning
Danger of death!
■ Do not use the dryer if
industrial chemicals have
been used to clean it.
■ Laundry that has come into
contact with solvents, oil,
wax, wax remover, paint,
grease or stain remover may
ignite or cause an explosion
when drying is in progress.
Before drying, wash the
laundry in hot water with
detergent.
■ Coal dust or flour in the area
around the dryer may cause
an explosion.
■ Only replace defective
components with genuine
spare parts.

en Safety instructions
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the
dryer or fabrics.
■ Only use the dryer for drying
and freshening up fabrics at
home and for fabrics that
have been washed with
water and are suitable for
tumble-drying.
Any other use is not
considered intended use and
is prohibited.
■ Foamed material or foam
rubber may become
deformed or melt during
drying. Do not dry any
laundry that contains foamed
material or foam rubber.
■ Do not lean or sit on the
dryer door, as the dryer may
tip over.
■ Loose cables or hoses may
cause you to trip. Avoid
tripping hazards.
■ Light things, such as hair,
may be sucked into the air
inlet while drying is in
progress; keep these away
from the dryer.
■ Heat is not added during the
last part of the drying cycle
(cooling cycle), to ensure
that the laundry remains at a
temperature that will not
damage it.

Packaging/old appliance
)
Dispose of packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
This appliance is designated according
to European directive 2012/19/EC
which governs waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE).
The directive provides a framework for
the collection and recycling of old
appliances, which is valid across the
EU.
Coolant
The dryer's heat exchanger contains
fluorinated greenhouse gas in a
hermetically sealed unit.
Greenhouse gas: R134a
Capacity (g): 220
GWP (kgCO2/kgRefrig): 1300
Total GWP (kgCO2): 286
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.
Dispose of the dryer properly.

Preparing the laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosion or fire.!
Remove any cigarette lighters and
matches from pockets.
Caution!
The dryer drum and fabrics may be
damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets and
take note of the following information:
■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■ Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do
up any buttons.
■ To ensure a consistent drying result,
sort the laundry by fabric type and
drying programme.
■ Remove any metal objects, such as
paper clips, from pockets.
■ Knitted fabrics, such as T-shirts and
jerseys, often shrink slightly the first
time they are tumble-dried. Use a
gentle programme.
■ Do not over-dry easy-care laundry.
This increases creasing of the
laundry.
■ When washing laundry that is to be
tumble-dried afterwards, use the
correct amount of fabric softener as
specified in the manufacturer's
instructions.
Sorting washing according to:
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature
` Dry at low temperature
b Do not tumble-dry
If you dry thin- or thick-layered fabrics or
fabrics with several layers together,
these will dry to differing degrees. To
achieve an even drying result, you
should therefore only dry laundry of the
same type of fabric and structure
together. If you feel that the laundry is
still too damp afterwards, you can select
a timed programme for subsequent
drying ~ Page 13.
Caution!
Possibility of material damage to the
dryer or laundry.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics, such
as rubber-coated laundry.

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.
5. Open both filters and remove all the
fluff.
6. Rinse away the fluff under warm,
running water.
7. Dry the fluff filter, close it and reinsert
the two-part fluff filter.
Note: Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Pull apart the two-part fluff filter.
