1 Safety precautions
Do not use the appliance to dry the following
•Unwashed washing.
• Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable
chemicals, detergents or solvents (benzine, alcohol, stain remover, oil,
paint, wax, etc). Fire or explosion hazard!
Wash materials containing such substances first by hand with water or
allow the solvent to evaporate completely.
• Fabrics with traces of hair spray, hair gel, nail varnish remover or other
similar substances. Danger of gas build-up!
• Washing containing foam rubber or other rubber-like material. Ignition
hazard!
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
• Regularly clean the filters.
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
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 oil-affected 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. The «cool down» cycle of tumble dryers
should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or
spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments
include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
7
1 Safety precautions
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a
heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose
during drying.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.

1 Safety precautions
1.4Children in the home
• Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from
children.
• The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these
operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger
of electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow
children to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could
get locked inside.
• Tumble dryer additives (e.g. tumbler dryer sheets) can irritate the eyes,
mouth and throat and even cause choking! Keep tumble dryer additives
out of the reach of children.
• Use the childproof locking facility.

1.5Note on use
Do not use the pivoting operating panel to lift or move the
appliance.
• Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or if the inlet pipes are
damaged. Contact Customer Services.
• If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity
supply immediately.
• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by
Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
• Keep pets away from the appliance.
• To protect your washing, follow the fabric care symbols and the hints and
advice in the
• Do not use a fabric conditioner or other fabric care solutions for the wash.
Otherwise pay attention to the manufacturer’s information.
• Do not operate the appliance without or with a damaged door filter. Fire
hazard from fluff build-up!
• Take care not to allow fluff to build up around the drier.
• Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme, ensure that
there are no foreign objects or pets in the drum.
• During the drying process, the back, drum and inside of the appliance door
become hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching these parts.
• Never end the drying programme prematurely. A short cooling phase takes
place at the end of the drying programme. Providing you are able to do so,
remove the load quickly and spread it out to enable the heat to evaporate.
• The condensate water collected is not suitable for drinking.
• During longer periods of non-use, switch off the electricity by pulling out the
mains plug. Never pull the mains plug out by the cable.

2.1Appliance description
The appliance operates with a closed air circuit. With the help of the heat
pump, the moisture is extracted from the air which is then heated up again.
Recovering heat in this way sharply reduces energy consumption. The
appliance has no electric heating element.
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.
In general, as heat pumps give off a certain amount of moisture, rooms in
which there are heat pumps should be aired. 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.
The appliance door can be set to open to the left or to the right. Our
Customer Services can make the necessary adjustments to the
appliance.

3Programme overview
3.1Programme sequence for automatic programmes
The drying programme has 3 phases:
Drying
The washing is tumble dried until it reaches the set level of dryness. The
drying programme is monitored by a moisture sensor. As soon as the
required level of dryness is reached, the «Cooling down/airing» phase starts.
Cooling down/airing
The washing is cooled down to a temperature at which creasing is minimized.
This phase lasts between 1–10 minutes. The washing can now be unloaded.
If the washing is not unloaded, the «Crease guard» programme starts.
Crease guard
The dried washing is moved at frequent intervals to prevent creasing.
If the «Ultra care» function has been selected «Crease guard» runs
90 minutes, otherwise with all other programmes it runs 30 minutes. «Crease
guard» can be stopped at any time simply by opening the appliance door or
by pressing the button.

6.3Build-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.
Flu f f st i cks to wa shin g whe n it i s we t . Th e flu ff is rel e ase d dur i ng t umbl e dry ing
and gets trapped in the door filter. This is why there is always a build-up of
fluff in the filter – sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the type of
washing – after tumble drying.

8Drying tips
8.1Fabric 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
General tips
• For the wash you are recommended not to use fabric conditioners or other
fabric care solutions, otherwise comply with the manufacturer’s instructions. Tumble drying automatically leaves fabrics soft and fluffy.
• 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 tumbler 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.
• Only put a few items of washing in the drum when drying fabrics that
crease easily.
• When drying bulky items (e.g. sleeping bags, duvets, etc.) strictly follow the
fabric care symbols.
56
8 Drying tips
• Woollen and silk fabrics often carry the «Do not tumble dry» label.
➤ For woollen and silk fabrics, follow the fabric care symbols on garment
labels.
➤ Press the button and select the relevant programme.
• For easy-care fabrics (e.g. shirts and cotton mixed fabrics), additionally
select the easy care function and put only a few items in the drum.
• Knitted and woven items (e.g. T-shirts) tend to shrink. Additionally select
the 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
MIN.
could cause the washing to be overdried in an automatic programme.
Energy saving tips
• Well-spun washing requires a shorter drying time and saves energy.
➤ Spin washing well before tumble drying. Tumble drying largely removes
creases that come from spinning in the washing machine.
• Dirty fluff mesh filters and filter mats reduce the air flow rate when drying
and result in longer drying times and a high energy consumption.
➤ Fluff mesh filters and filter mats must be cleaned regularly in accordance
with the operating instructions.
• The maximum capacity of the relevant programme should be used to its
full extent.
• Small, light wash items dry more quickly; different materials can have
different drying durations.
➤ Sort items according to type and size to avoid over-drying of individual
items.
