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.

Preparing the laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosion/fire!
Remove any cigarette lighters and
matches from pockets.
Caution!
The dryer drum and fabrics could be
damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets and
observe the following information:
■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■ Close zips, hooks and eyelets and
buttons. Button up large items of
laundry, such as covers.
■ Remove any metal objects, such as
paper clips, from pockets.
■ To ensure a consistent drying result,
sort laundry by fabric type and
drying programme.
■ Always dry very small items of
laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together
with large items such as towels.
■ Knitted fabrics such as T-shirts and
jerseys often shrink the first time they
are tumble-dried. Use a gentle
programme.
■ Do not overdry easy-care laundry.
This increases creasing of the
laundry.
■ Use timed programmes for single
garments.
■ Some detergents and care products,
e.g. starch or softeners, contain
particles which may be deposited on
the moisture sensor. This may impair
the sensor function and in
consequence 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 36.
Sorting washing according to:
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature
` Dry at low temperature
b Do not tumble-dry
Note: Do not load laundry from the
washing machine directly into the
tumble dryer. Sort the spun laundry
before placing it in the dryer drum.
If you dry thin, thick and multi-layer
fabrics together, they will dry to differing
degrees. To achieve an even drying
result, you should therefore only dry
together laundry of the same type of
fabric and structure. If you feel that the
laundry is still too damp, you can select
a timed programme for subsequent
drying ~ Page 23.
Caution!
Possibility of material damage to the
dryer or laundry.
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:
■ Laundry contaminated with oil.
■ Unwashed fabrics.
■ Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-
coated).
■ Easily damaged fabrics such as silk,
synthetic curtains.

About data protection
When your appliance is connected for
the first time to a WLAN network, which
is connected to the Internet, your
appliance transmits the following
categories of data to the Home Connect
server (initial registration):
■ Unique appliance identification
(consisting of appliance codes as
well as the MAC address of the
installed WiFi communication
module).
■ Security certificate of the WiFi
communication module (to ensure a
secure IT connection).
■ The current software and hardware
version of your domestic appliance.
■ Status of any previous resetting to
factory settings.
This initial registration prepares the
Home Connect functions for use and is
only required when you want to use
these Home Connect functions for the
first time.
Note: Ensure that the Home Connect
functions can be used only in
conjunction with the Home Connect
app. Information on data protection can
be accessed in the Home Connect app.
Update installation will now start.
This process may take several
minutes. Do not switch the
appliance off while updates are
being installed.

Noises en
> Noises
Noises
Note: During drying, particularly in the
initial phase, operation of the appliance
results in noise from the compressor
and pump. This is perfectly normal and
does not impair proper functioning of
the appliance.
From time to time, the compressor in
the dryer generates a humming noise.
However, the volume may vary
depending on the programme and
progress of the drying process.
Every now and then, the compressor is
ventilated. This creates a whirring noise.
The condensation is pumped into
the condensate container by a pump.
This generates pumping noises.
The automatic cleaning of the dryer
causes a clicking sound.

Cleaning
Cleaning the dryer and the control panel
:Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock as the
dryer is operated with electricity.
Disconnect the dryer from the mains
before cleaning.
Clean the dryer using only water and a
soft, damp cloth.
Remove all detergent residue, spray
residue or other residues immediately.
Do not use cleaning agents or agents
for pre-treating laundry (e.g. prewash
sprays, stain removers). Do not use
high-pressure cleaners or steam jet
cleaners to clean your appliance.
Cleaning the moisture sensor
Note: The dryer is equipped with a
stainless-steel moisture sensor. The
moisture sensor measures how damp
the laundry is.
After long periods of usage the moisture
sensor may become covered by a fine
layer of limescale or residues of
detergents and care products. Such
residues must be removed regularly as
the sensor function and in consequence
the drying result may be impaired.
Open the door and clean the moisture
sensor with a coarse sponge.
Cleaning the filter in the condensate container
Note: The filter in the condensate
container cleans the condensation
water that is used during the dryer's
automatic cleaning cycle.
1. Pull out the condensate container
horizontally.
2. Pour out the condensation water.
3. Remove the filter.

Faults Cause/remedy
Laundry is not dried
properly or is still too
damp.
■ After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it actu-
ally is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
■ Fine tune the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not
increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier ~ Page 25.
■ Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the dryness level.
This does not increase the temperature.
■ Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still
damp ~ Page 23.
■ If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry
may not be dried properly.
■ 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. This prevents your laundry from being dried properly ~ Page 36.
■ Drying has stopped 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 22.
Drying time too long? ■ The fluff filter may be clogged, which will make the drying time longer.
Clean the fluff filter.
■ If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
■ The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30 °C.
Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.
■ Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-
late the room.
