1.2 General safety precautions
• Read the operating instructions before using the appliance for
the first time!
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, provided
they are supervised or have been instructed on the safe use
of the appliance and have understood the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be undertaken by children without supervision.
• If an appliance is not equipped with a mains cable and a plug
or other means for disconnecting from the mains with a contact opening on each pole complying with the conditions of
overvoltage category III for full isolation, an isolating device
must be incorporated into the permanently installed electrical
installation in accordance with the installation regulations.
• If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Customer Services or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

1.3 Appliance-specific safety precautions
• Children under 3 years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
• The appliance has a maximum dry load capacity of 7 kg.
• This appliance is only suitable for drying textiles which have
been washed in water.
• The appliance is only to be used with the recommended vaporizing medium. The use of other substances may give rise
to a toxic or fire risk.
• The appliance has hot surfaces to evaporate active components. These surfaces should not be touched during use.
• The tumble dryer may not be used if industrial chemicals were
used for cleaning.
• Clean the fluff filters regularly.
• Do not allow fluff to build up around the tumble dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flam-
mable chemicals, detergents or solvents (such as white spirit,
alcohol, stain remover, oil, turpentine, acetone, paint, wax,
etc.) are a fire and explosion hazard! Wash materials containing such substances first by hand with water or allow the
solvent to evaporate completely.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble
dryer.
• Do not use a fabric conditioner or other fabric care solutions
in the wash. Otherwise pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions.
7
1 Safety precautions
• Remove objects such as lighters and matches and the like.
• Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle
unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that
the heat is dissipated.
• If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor ensure that
any ventilation openings on the base of the appliance are not
obstructed.
• If the appliance is installed in a housing, the ventilation openings are to be kept free of obstruction.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used
for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
• Do not install the appliance behind a door that locks, a sliding
door or a door with a hinge that lies opposite the hinge of the
appliance.
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oilaffected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create
a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair
care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce,
but not eliminate, the hazard.

Note down the serial number (FN) of your appliance on the back page of
these operating instructions.

4 Appliance description
4.1 Appliance overview
The appliance operates with a closed air circuit. Moisture is extracted from the
air with the help of a heat pump and then the air is reheated. Recovering heat
in this way sharply reduces energy consumption.
Thanks to the heat pump, the appliance dries at lower temperatures.
All the programmes are therefore gentler on your laundry. The condensate water collected is discharged through an outlet at the rear into the drainage system.
As a general rule, rooms containing a heat pump dryer must be ventilated as
these produce some humidity. If the room is kept closed, it should be aired
occasionally (either by opening the door to the room or a window) between
several consecutive drying programmes.

minimized.
This phase lasts between 1–10 minutes. Afterwards the washing can be unloaded.
«Crease guard» starts if the appliance is not unloaded.
Crease guard
The dried washing is moved at frequent intervals to prevent creasing.

Duration remaining indicator
During programme selection, the expected duration of a programme is shown.
This corresponds to a load containing similar wash items with a defined
weight.
Load determination occurs after the programme start:
– In the display appears:
– The letter «h» flashes: the expected duration remaining is calculated
and then displayed.
Depending on fabric type, the actual running time may differ from the
duration shown. The duration remaining shown – especially towards
the end of the programme – can freeze for several minutes. During
this period, the letter «h» flashes and the duration remaining is recalculated.
– The letter «h» flashes again and in the
display appears:
– This alternates with the level of dryness achieved.
– The time remaining is recalculated and then displayed.

8.2 Error message A9, Clean filter and mats
A thick coating of fluff results in a reduced process air flow, which can
impair the drying process and trigger the «A9 Clean filter and mats»
error message.
Check and, if necessary, clean the following parts in the appliance:
• Door filter
• Door mat
• Front mat
If the error message still appears after cleaning the filter and mats, remove the front mat and clean carefully using a vacuum cleaner. See
section 8.6 on 'Cleaning the front mat'.
8.3 Build-up of fluff
Fluff is made up of fine textile fibres that largely come from the manufacturing
process, from wear and tear during use and from items being washed. Fluff is
not caused by excessive strain on the washing in the appliance. Even when
washing is hung out to dry on a washing line, fluff is shed when the washing is
shaken out or ironed.
Fluff sticks to washing when it is wet. The fluff is released during tumble drying
and gets trapped in the door filter. Fluff therefore builds up in the filter – sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the type of washing.

10 Drying tips
10.1 Fabric care symbols
To select the right drying programme, follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.
Tumble dry, medium heat
Tumble dry, low heat
Do not tumble dry
10.2 General tips
• For the wash you are recommended not to use fabric conditioners or other
fabric care solutions. Tumble drying automatically leaves fabrics soft and
fluffy to the touch.
• The use of fabric conditioner in the wash can lead over time to the formation of a thin, barely visible film in the drum and on the moisture sensors.
This can cause a malfunction resulting in the washing not being dried to the
level of dryness required.
• Use tumble dryer sheets sparingly.
• Protect items of washing from getting damaged.
– Fasten duvet and pillow cases, hook and eye fasteners and zips.
– Fasten cloth belts and apron ties.
• Put only a few items of washing in the drum when drying fabrics that crease
easily.
• For bulky items (e.g. sleeping bags, duvets, etc.) which fill the drum over
half full, follow the fabric care symbols on the labels of the items carefully.
• Woollen and silk fabrics often carry the «Do not tumble dry» label.
– For woollen and silk fabrics, follow the fabric care symbols on garment la-
bels.
– Select the relevant programme by pressing the or button.
61
10 Drying tips
• For easy-care fabrics (e.g. shirts and cotton-mix fabrics), select the additional easy care function and put only a few items in the drum.
• Knitted and woven items (e.g. T-shirts) tend to shrink. Select the additional
easy care function.
• Items of clothing with metal fasteners (e.g. overalls) should be tumble dried
using the additional timed drying programme. The metal fasteners
could cause the washing to be overdried in an automatic programme.
10.3 Energy-saving tips
• Use in addition. This can reduce energy consumption.
• Well-spun washing requires a shorter drying time, saving energy.
– Spin washing well before tumble drying. Tumble drying largely removes
creases that come from spinning in the washing machine.
• Dirty fluff filters and filter mats reduce the air flow rate when drying and result in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.
– Fluff filters and filter mats must be cleaned regularly in accordance with
the operating instructions.
• Always fill the drum to the maximum load capacity of the relevant programme.
• Small, light items of washing dry faster; different materials can have different
drying durations.
– Sort items according to type and size to avoid over-drying of individual
items.
