it in.
9 WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your dryer, follow basic precautions including the following!
▯ Gaggenau® dryers are provided
with a Use and Care Manual with
Installation Instructions. Read and
understand all instructions before
using the dryer.
▯ Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed, soaked,
or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, other flammable
or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
▯ Before the appliance is removed
from service or discarded, remove
the door (to the drying compartment)
to prevent children from playing or
hiding inside. Also remove the power
cord/plug.
▯ Do not allow anyone to climb, lean or
hang on any part of the dryer
including any protruding
components such as the appliance
door or a pullout shelf.
▯ Do not reach into the appliance if the

▯ Do not tamper with the controls.
▯ Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer
of the fabric softener or product.
▯ Always unplug the dryer from the
power supply before attempting any
service. Disconnect the power cord
by grasping the plug, not the cord.
▯ To reduce the risk of fire, clothes,
cleaning rags, mop heads and the

Environmentally friendly use of your dryer
Your new Gaggenau® dryer is designed to use energy in
a highly efficient way to help reduce operating costs,
conserve resources and protect the environment.
To save energy, money and time, Gaggenau®
recommends the following:
▯ Spin the laundry thoroughly
Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the
washing machine. Use the highest possible spin
speed for the type of laundry. Higher spin speeds
reduce the drying time and the energy consumption.
▯ Optimize load and selected drying program
– Use the maximum amount of laundry for the
appropriate drying program.
– Use automatic drying programs for the most
energy efficient use of your dryer. They perform
according to internal moisture and temperature
sensors delivering optimized efficiency and fabric
care.
– Use the Time Dry program for touching up damp
loads or for small loads. This program will use
more energy than the automatic programs.

9 CAUTION
Do not install the dryer:
▯ outdoors,
▯ in an environment with dripping water,
▯ near flammable materials,
▯ in rooms which are at risk of freezing,
▯ in rooms which may contain gas or other fuels,
▯ on carpets.
Because many variables affect drying time we
recommend allowing as much free air space around your
dryer as possible for the shortest drying cycle time.
NOTICE
If your dryer is located in a closet, leave the closet door
open while the dryer is operating.
Note: The energy rating of this dryer is based on the Cotton program with the Dryness Level set to Dry (all other option settings are off).
▯ Clean filter
Clean the lint filter before or after each drying
process.
▯ Air inlet on the dryer
Do not cover or allow any articles/items to restrict the
air inlet on the front of the dryer.
▯ Energy-saving mode
The display panel lighting goes out after a few minutes
and A (Start/Pause) flashes. To activate the display,
press any button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated if a program is
running.
If Wi-Fi is activated the appliance will not
automatically switch off (automatic switch-off function
is deactivated).
The recommended ambient temperatures (between 5986°F / 15-30°C) are for optimum drying times, outside of
this range drying times may be longer.
The installation surface (floor) must be level and
structurally sound. Using a bubble level and the heightadjustable feet installed on the appliance, level the
appliance side to side and front to back.
