Labelling of fabrics
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
(Drying at normal temperature.
'cDrying at low temperature aalso select V(Low Heat).
)cDo not machine dry.
Observe safety instructions without fail aPage 11!
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics for example:
– Impermeable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
– Delicate materials (silk or curtains made from synthetic material) athey may crease
– 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 5/6.
– Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried a
do not use the +:Very 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.
– Do not obstruct or seal up the air inlet.
– Keep the air cooler clean aPage 6 “Care and cleaning”.

– Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
– Do not use harsh cleaning agents and solvents.
– Remove detergent and cleaning agent residue immediately.
Clean the protective filter 5 - 6 times a year
or if o(Filter) flashes after cleaning the fluff filter.
Air cooler / Protective filter
When cleaning, only remove the protective filter. Clean the air cooler
behind the protective filter once a year.
– Allow the dryer to cool.
– Residual water may leak out, so place an absorbent towel
underneath the maintenance door.
1. Unlock the maintenance door.
2. Open the maintenance door fully.
3. Turn both locking levers towards each another.
4. Pull out the protective filter/air cooler.
Do not damage the protective filter or air cooler.
Clean with warm water only. Do not use any hard or sharp-edged
objects.
5. Clean the protective filter/air cooler thoroughly,
Allow to drip dry.
6. Clean the seals.
7. Re-insert the protective filter/air cooler,
with the handle facing down.
8. Turn back both locking levers.
9. Close the maintenance door until the lock clicks into place.
Moisture sensors
The dryer is fitted with stainless steel moisture sensors. The sensors
measure the level of moisture in the laundry. After a long period of
operation, a fine layer of limescale may form on the sensors.
1. Open the door and clean the moisture sensors with a damp sponge
which has a rough surface.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive materials.
Only when switched off!

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.
Converting the installed load Note the fuse protection of the socket.
