too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the tumble dryer is located, make sure the room is well-ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

ɉRemove foreign objects like detergent dispensing

devices from the laundry. They can melt and damage the dryer and the laundry.

ĺ Sort the laundry according to the type of fibre and

weave, size, garment care label symbol and the drying level required.

ĺ Disentangle the laundry. ĺ Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and

linings are intact.

ĺ Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small

items from being rolled up inside them.

Tips on drying

– Always observe the maximum

recommended loads given in the "Programme chart".

ɉOverloading can cause unnecessary

wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.

– Do not load the drum with items that are

still soaking wet. Make sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying.

– Minimum iron fabric tends to crease

more, the larger the load. This is particularly the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as shirts or blouses.

You cannot change to another programme once a programme has started (this prevents unintentional alterations). If you move the programme selector, Cannot be changed will light up in the display until you move the programme selector back to the original programme. You will need to cancel the current programme before you can select a new one.

on.

ĺ Select and start a new programme

straight away.

Adding or removing laundry

ĺ Press the Start/Stop button.

Cancel programme will light up in the

display.

ĺ Confirm by touching the OKsensor.

ɉDanger of burning: Do not touch the

back of the drum when adding or removing items. The drum and the items can get very hot.

As soon as Finish lights up:

ĺ Add or remove items. ĺ Close the door. ĺ Press the Start/Stop button to continue

the programme. If necessary, select a drying level beforehand.

 is in position . 

If you want to dry laundry occasionally without adding fragrance: remove the fragrance flacon and store it in its original packaging until you want to use it again. See the following section.

Before cleaning the fluff filters

ĺ Remove the

fragrance flacon (reverse points 3 and 4) and store it in its original packaging.

ɉNever lay the

fragrance flacon down on any surface as the fragrance will run out.

the tumble dryer is switched on and a programme cannot be selected

The programme is cancelled and the following lights up:

 Adjust the load. See 

At the end of a programme the following lights up:

 Clean out airways

The programme is cancelled and the following lights up:

 Empty container. See 

 Fill condensate container

 Open & close door

Extra cooling

Access via a code has been activated. You must enter the correct code to use the tumble dryer. See "Settings menu - PIN Code" in the operating instructions.

This is not a fault. In some programmes, if the drum has been overloaded or underloaded, the programme will be cancelled. This can also happen if the items are already dry.

ĺ Open and close the door to resume drying. ĺ Use the Warm air programme (timed drying) to dry

individual items.

There is a build-up of fluff in the airways.

ĺ Clean the fluff filters. ĺ Clean the plinth filter (see "Cleaning and care").

To switch off the message:

ĺ Confirm with OK.

The condensed water container is full or there is a kink in the drain hose.

ĺ Empty the condensed water container. ĺ Check the drain hose.

To switch off the message:

ĺ Open and close the door while the dryer is switched on.

This is to remind you that water is taken from the condensed water container when the Steam smoothing programme is being used. The condensed water container must be filled with water to at least the –min– marker.

ĺ Confirm with OK.

This it to remind you to load the laundry when the Steam smoothing programme is selected.

ĺ Load the laundry in the drum.

The programme has finished but the laundry has not yet cooled down.

ĺ Either remove the laundry and spread it out to cool down

or leave it in the tumble dryer to cool down during the cooling phase.

Problem/Fault message Possible cause and remedy

The dryer is switched off at the end of the programme

The display is dark and the Start/Stop button is flashing slowly

The laundry is not sufficiently dry

Items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying

There is a build-up of fluff

There are humming noises

The tumble dryer switches off automatically. This is not a fault, but a normal function. See "Settings menu - Appliance switch-off" in the operating instructions.

The tumble dryer is in standby mode. This is not a fault, but a normal function. See "Settings menu - Display switch-off status" in the operating instructions. The drum will turn at intervals in the Anti-crease phase.

The load consisted of different types of fabric.

ĺ Finish drying using the Warm air timed drying programme. ĺ Select a more suitable programme next time.

Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some programmes. See "Settings menu - Drying levels" in the operating instructions.

Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge. Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric softener to the final rinse in the washing programme.

Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form. Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter and can be removed easily. See "Cleaning and care".

This is not a fault. The compressor is operating. These noises are quite normal and do not indicate a fault.
