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.

Preparing the 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 47.
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
28
Page 29
Operating the appliance en
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 24
~ "Drying with the basket for
woollens" on page 40
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.
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 47
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.
32
Page 33
Operating the appliance en
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.
33
Page 34
en Home Connect
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,
depending on appliance specifications),
or if the fluff catcher is incomplete or
defective, this may result in damage to
the appliance.
Do not operate the appliance without a
fluff catcher, or with a fluff catcher that is
incomplete or defective.

Draining the condensation water
Condensation will form in the appliance
as it dries the laundry.
You must ensure that the drain hose is
connected when you operate the
appliance.
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.
Connect the drain hose as follows:
1. Remove any accessories from the
drum.
3. Detach the condensation hose from
the socket.
Note: The appliance comes
delivered with the condensation
hose already fitted to the socket.
4. Place the condensation hose in the
"parked" position.
2. Remove all items from the bag.
5. Take the drain hose from the
accessories and attach it to the free
socket, pushing it up to the stop.
