ADVICE AND TIPS BEFORE YOU TUMBLE-DRY
Here are some tips that may help you before you begin
tumble-drying.
HAVE THE CLOTHES BEEN SPUN?
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000 rpm
or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy and reduce
drying time.
MATERIALS THAT CAN BE TUMBLE-
DRIED
This symbol means that the material is suitable for
tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble-drying are
cotton fabrics, terry cloth and synthetic fibres. Garments
will be softer and lighter when tumbled than when hung
out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant wear
on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint filter consists of
dust and fibre residues formed when the items are used.
MATERIALS THAT MUST NOT BE
TUMBLE-DRIED
This symbol means that the material is not suitable
for tumble-drying. Certain materials may melt or become
a fire hazard if exposed to heat, and others can lose their
shape or shrink.
And do not tumble-dry:
• materials labelled ”Do not dry near heat”.
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• plastic foam.
• fibre glass material.
• wool must not be tumble-dried because of the risk of
felting.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry after
tumble drying you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait five minutes after the drying program ends before
opening the door and removing the laundry from the
dryer.
NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the Stop
button for three seconds or by opening the door. In both
cases the programme is stopped and starts from the
beginning if restarted. If you do not want to restart the
programme then immediately remove all laundry and
spread it out to allow the heat to dissipate.

9
TUMBLE DRYING
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve
the best possible tumble-drying results.
SORT YOUR FABRICS
You will achieve the most uniform drying results if the
items are made of the same type of material. Do up zips
and buttons, fasten belts, sort the items and adjust the
load and temperature.
NOTE!
Do not overload the drum!
Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying results
and wrinkling.
Guidelines as to what specific programmes can be
used for:
The Auto extra dry, Auto dry and Auto normal dry
programmes have two temperature settings.
Normal temperature but also low temperature for more
delicate items.
Auto extra dry
Temperature normal. This programme is for items that
are particularly difficult to dry, such as jeans with very
thick seams.
Auto dry
Temperature normal. This programme shut offthe heat
once the load is dry but before it is bone dry. The Auto
dry programme shuts offthe heat slightly later than
Auto normal dry . Use trial and error to find out what
works best.
Auto normal dry
Temperature normal. This programme shut offthe heat
once the load is dry.
Auto extra dry (low temperature)
This programme is for items that are particularly difficult
to dry, such as jeans with very thick seams.
Auto dry (low temperature)
These programmes shut offthe heat once the load is dry
but before it is bone dry. The Auto dry programme shuts
offthe heat slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial
and error to find out what works best.
Auto normal dry (low temperature)
These programmes shut offthe heat once the load is dry
but before it is bone dry. The Auto dry programme shuts
offthe heat slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial
and error to find out what works best.
Auto iron dry (low temperature)
This programme shuts offthe heat once the load is just
damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Select a programme by turning the programme selector. The selected programme is shown in the display window.
Programme selector Display window
Main power switch Start Stopp
SELECT THE PROGRAMME
Press the main power switch until the display lights. Open
the door, load the items and then close the door.
NOTE!
Make sure that objects e.g. detergent dispensing balls,
have been removed from the laundry. They could melt
and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.
NOTE!
To save energy, always observe the maximum load for
each programme (see Program chart)

10
TUMBLE DRYING
PRESS THE START BUTTON.
An estimate of the remaining drying time will be shown
on the display a few minutes after the drying programme
starts. For example, 1:35 means that it will take
approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes for the load to dry.
If the option.Anti crease has been selected, the drum will
rotate for three seconds per minute for two hours after
the programme is finished. The actual remaining time
may be longer than the estimated time shown on the
display. The remaining time is then shown as 0:15 until
the load is sufficiently dry. If you selected Time Saver the
display will show 0:05 instead. You can stop the tumble
dryer by pressing the Stop button for three seconds or
by opening the door. In both cases the programme is
stopped and starts from the beginning if restarted.
NOTE!
The programme will not be affected if you change the
programme selector after the programme has started.
DRYING PROGRAMME FINISHED
The text Done appears on the display when the
programme is finished. If the Anti crease option has
been selected, the drum will rotate for three seconds per
minute for two hours after the programme is finished.
The compressor’s cooling fan continues to run after the
programme finishes, but stops automatically or when
any button/knob is activated.
Backlighting
Two minutes after the drying programme finishes the
backlighting on the display and options buttons enters
energy saving mode. Turn the programme selector if you
want to activate the machine.
Condensed water
The condensed water container must be emptied after
each load. Remove the condensed water container,
empty out the water and replace the container. If the
condensed water container becomes full to overflowing,
the programme is interrupted and Over Flow appears
on the display. Empty the container and press the Start
button to start a new programme.
TIP!
The condensed water is decalcified and can be used in
steam irons. Pour it through a coffee filter.

15
CARE AND CLEANING
A
B
RECOMMENDATION!
Wash the sponge filter in the washing machine after 30
drying cycles (use the rinse or quick wash program).
6. Clean the heat pump ribs by spraying water on them
(use a plant sprayer). The water will carry away the
lint and the condensate pump will drain the lint and
water mixture.
7. Replace the clean sponge filter into the filter support.
To replace the support, first insert the bottom edge of
the support under an angle, and then lightly press it
towards the heat pump ribs to align it. Close the heat
pump door.
NOTE!
Do not touch the heat pump ribs.They are very thin
an easily damaged. If the ribs are bent or damaged,
the efficiency of the condenser unit will deteriorate
considerably, which in turn leads to poorer drying results.
CLEANING THE AUTO FILTER
Clean the filter at the intervals shown on the machine’s
display or more often
1. Pull the condensed water container out and up.
2. Unscrew and remove the auto filter.
Sealing
3. Rinse the auto filter clean with water.
4. Screw the autofilter back into place. Check that the
seal is properly seated.
NOTE!
Clean the filters after each drying.
Do not replace the filters if they are damp or wet. Damp
or wet filters could cause operational faults.
NOTE!
The dryer should never be operated without the filters
in place, or with damaged filters as excessive amount
of accumulated fibres from the fabric could cause
malfunction or failure of the dryer.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
MACHINE
Clean the outside of the machine and the programme
panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use solvents, as these
can damage the machine. Do not hose down or spray the
machine with water.
NOTE!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the machine.
Keep the area around the tumble dryer clean and cool;
dust, heat and moisture prolong drying times.
