– Delicate materials (silk or curtains made from synthetic material) athey may crease.
– Dripping wet washing high aenergy consumption!
– Laundry contaminated with oil.
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small items (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry (e.g. hand
towel).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry arisk of creasing!
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not dry woolens in the dryer, only use to freshen them up aPage 7, Woollens finish
Programme (depending on model).
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while athe
remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing. aFine adjustment
of the drying result aPage 6.
– Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried a
do not use the Extra Dry programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers astarch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when
washing the laundry to be dried.
– Use the timer programme for small loads athis improves the drying result.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine athe higher the spin
speed the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care
laundry.
– Put in, but do not exceed, the maximum recommended quantity of laundry a
programme overview aPage 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle aPage 4.
– Do not obstruct or seal up the air inlet.

ʋʋʋʋʋʋʋʋʋʋʋʋʋaCare and cleaning
Dryer housing, Control panel, Air inlet, Moisture sensors
– Wipe off with a soft, damp cloth.
– Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
– Remove detergent and cleaning agent residue immediately.
Exhaust air duct
Check the exhaust air duct. Clean the exhaust air duct every six months.
Do not bend the exhaust air duct.
1. Switch off the dryer and allow it to cool down.
2. Disconnect the mains plug.
3. Remove the exhaust air duct.
4. Clean the exhaust air duct.
5. Refit the exhaust air duct aInstallation instructions for exhaust air duct.
Moisture sensors
The dryer is equipped with stainless steel moisture sensors.
Moisture sensors measure the moisture level of the laundry.
After sustained, repeated operation, a fine layer of limescale may form
on the moisture sensors.
1. Open the door.
2. Clean the moisture sensors using a slightly damp sponge with a rough
surface.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive materials.
Only when switched off!

Installation
– Delivery specification: dryer, instructions for installation and use.
– Check dryer for transport damage.
– The dryer is very heavy. Do not attempt to lift it on your own.
– Be careful to avoid sharp edges.
– Do not lift the dryer by any of the protruding parts (e.g. the door) as they may break off.
– Do not set up in a room that is susceptible to frost.
Freezing water may cause damage.
– If in doubt, have the appliance connected by an expert.
Setting up the dryer
– The appliance plug must always be accessible.
– Ensure that the appliance is installed on a clean, level
and solid surface.
– Keep the cooling grille at the front of the dryer
unobstructed.
– Keep the area around the dryer clean.
– Make the dryer level using the threaded feet
and a spirit level.
Do not remove the threaded feet under any
circumstances.
Mains connection see safety instructions a Page 11.
– Connect to an AC earthed socket. If in doubt have the socket checked by an expert.
– The mains voltage and the voltage shown on the rating plate ( a Page 9) must correspond.
– The connected load and necessary fuse protection are specified on the rating plate.
Frost protection / Transport
Preparation
1. Select any programme using the programme selector.
2. Press the ĔStart/Stop button.
3. Turn the programme selector to Off.
1.
Take all accessory parts
out of the drum.
The drum must be empty.
Make sure that the air
inlet remains unobstructed
Clean and level
2.
Do not operate the dryer if
there is a danger of frost.
Do not set up the dryer behind a door or sliding
door as this may obstruct or prevent the dryer door
from opening. This will prevent a potentially fatal
danger to children from locking themselves in.
