grease or stain remover may
ignite or cause an explosion
when drying is in progress.

Caution!
Risk of material damage to the
dryer or fabrics
■Only use the dryer for drying
and freshening up fabrics at
home and for fabrics that
have been washed with
water and are suitable for
tumble-drying.
Any other use is not
considered intended use and

Environmental protection en

protection
Environmentalprotection Packaging/old appliance
)
Dispose of packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
This appliance is designated according
to European directive 2012/19/EC
which governs waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE).
The directive provides a framework for
the collection and recycling of old
appliances, which is valid across
the EU.
Coolant
The dryer's heat exchanger contains
fluorinated greenhouse gas in a
hermetically sealed unit.
Dispose of the dryer properly.
Energy-saving tips
■Spin the laundry before drying.
The drier the laundry, the shorter
the drying time will be, thus
consuming less energy.
■Load the dryer with the maximum
load.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programs, as this
prolongs the drying time
and increases energy consumption.
■Ventilate the room and keep the air
inlet on the dryer free to ensure air
exchange.
■Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle. If the fluff filter is dirty,
the drying time is prolonged
and energy consumption is
increased.
■Energy saving mode: If the dryer is
not operated for a prolonged period,
it automatically switches off before
the program starts and when
the program has ended to save
energy. The display panel
and indicator lamps go off after
a few minutes and the Start button
flashes. To activate the lighting,
press any button, open or close
the dryer door or turn the program
selector.

Laundry Preparing the laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosion or fire!
Remove any cigarette lighters
and matches from pockets.
Caution!
The dryer drum and fabrics may be
damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets
and take note of the following
information:
■Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do
up any buttons.
■To ensure a consistent drying result,
sort the laundry by fabric type
and drying programme.
■Remove any metal objects, such as
paper clips, from pockets.
■Knitted fabrics, such as T-shirts
and jerseys, often shrink slightly
the first time they are tumble-dried.
Use a gentle programme.
■Do not over-dry easy-care laundry.
This increases creasing of
the laundry.
■When washing laundry that is to be
tumble-dried afterwards, use
the correct amount of fabric softener
as specified in the manufacturer's
instructions.
Sorting washing according to:
cSuitable for tumble drying
aDry at normal temperature
`Dry at low temperature
bDo not tumble-dry
If you dry thin- and thick-layered fabrics
and fabrics with several layers together,
these will dry to differing degrees.
To achieve an even drying result, you
should therefore only dry laundry of
the same type of fabric and structure
together. If you feel that the laundry is
still too damp afterwards, you can select
a time programme for subsequent
drying ~Page 13.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the dryer
or laundry.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics, such
as rubber-coated laundry.

Emptying the condensate
container
Notes
■You can drain off the condensation
into the waste-water system using an
optional condensation drain*.
■If you drain the condensation using
an optional condensation drain, you
do not have to empty
the condensate container.
Note: After each drying cycle, empty
the condensate container; otherwise
the next drying programme may be
cancelled as a result of the condensate
container being full.
1. Pull out the condensate container
horizontally.
2. Pour out the condensation water.
Caution!
Dirty condensation water may be
harmful to your health and cause
material damage.
Condensation water is not suitable
for drinking and may be
contaminated with fluff. Do not drink

Operating the appliance en

Clean the fluff filter
Note: During drying, fluff and hair from
the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. If
the fluff filter is blocked or dirty, this
reduces the flow of air, which prevents
the dryer from achieving its maximum
performance. Clean fluff filters also
reduce energy consumption and the
drying time.
Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle:
1. Open the dryer door and remove all
fluff from the door.
2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.
3. Remove the fluff from the recess in
the fluff filter.
Note: Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Pull apart the two-part fluff filter.
5. Open both filters and remove all the
fluff.
6. Rinse away the fluff under warm,
running water.
7. Dry the fluff filter, close it and reinsert
the two-part fluff filter.
Caution!
The dryer may be damaged.
Do not operate the dryer without a fluff
filter or if the fluff filter is defective.
