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.

■ 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 29.

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 21.

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.

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.

Note: . Ensure that no fluff falls into

the open shaft.

4. Pull apart the two-part fluff filter.

en Noises

> 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.

sprays, stain removers). Do not use
high-pressure cleaners or steam jet
cleaners to clean your appliance.

Cleaning en

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.

Caution!
Moisture sensor may be damaged.

Do not clean moisture sensors with
abrasives and steel wool.

4. Clean the filter under warm, running
