Laundry Preparing the laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosion/fire!
Remove any cigarette lighters and
matches from pockets.
Caution!
The dryer drum and fabrics could be
damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets and
observe the following information:
■Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■Close zips, hooks and eyelets and
buttons. Button up large items of
laundry, such as covers.
■Remove any metal objects, such as
paper clips, from pockets.
■To ensure a consistent drying result,
sort laundry by fabric type and
drying programme.
■Always dry very small items of
laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together
with large items such as towels.
■Knitted fabrics such as T-shirts and
jerseys often shrink the first time they
are tumble-dried. Use a gentle
programme.
■Do not overdry easy-care laundry.
This increases creasing of the
laundry.
■Use timed programmes for single
garments.
■Some detergents and care products,
e.g. starch or softeners, contain
particles which may be deposited on
the moisture sensor. This may impair
the sensor function and in
consequence the drying result.
Notes
– When washing laundry to be
tumble-dried, use the correct
amount of detergent and care
products as specified in the
manufacturer's instructions.
– Clean the moisture sensor
regularly ~Page 32.
Sorting washing according to:
cSuitable for tumble drying
aDry at normal temperature
`Dry at low temperature
bDo not tumble-dry
Note: Do not load laundry from the
washing machine directly into the
tumble dryer. Sort the spun laundry
before placing it in the dryer drum.
If you dry thin, thick and multi-layer
fabrics together, they will dry to differing
degrees. To achieve an even drying
result, you should therefore only dry
together laundry of the same type of
fabric and structure. If you feel that the
laundry is still too damp, you can select
a timed programme for subsequent
drying ~Page 23.
Caution!
Possibility of material damage to the
dryer or laundry.
Do not tumble-dry the following
fabrics:
■Laundry contaminated with oil.
■Unwashed fabrics.
■Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-
coated).
■Easily damaged fabrics such as silk,
synthetic curtains.

By default, the condensation from the
appliance runs into the condensation
container.
Alternatively, you have the option of
discharging the condensation water*
supplied depending on the model. If you
choose to discharge the condensation
water into the waste-water system, you
will not need to empty the condensation
container during the drying programme
or after each time you use the dryer.
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
the condensation water or reuse it.
3. Push in the condensate container
until you feel it lock back into place
in the dryer.

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.

Noises en
31
>Noises
Noises Note: During drying, particularly in the
initial phase, operation of the appliance
results in noise from the compressor
and pump. This is perfectly normal and
does not impair proper functioning of
the appliance.
From time to time, the compressor in
the dryer generates a humming noise.
However, the volume may vary
depending on the programme and
progress of the drying process.
Every now and then, the compressor is
ventilated. This creates a whirring noise.
The condensation is pumped into
the condensate container by a pump.
This generates pumping noises.

Not a fault. The moisture sensors detect the remaining moisture in the load and
adjust the programme length accordingly (except timed programmes).
Laundry is not dried cor-
rectly or is still too damp.
■After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually
is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
■Fine tune the dryness level. This extends the drying time but does not
increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier ~Page 25.
■Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the dryness level.
This does not increase the temperature.
■Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still
damp ~Page 23.
■If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry
may not be dried properly.
■Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered in
a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product residue, which then
impairs its performance. This prevents your laundry from being dried prop-
erly ~Page 32.
■Drying has stopped as a result of a power cut, because the condensation
container is full or because the maximum drying time has been exceeded.

Drying time too long? ■The fluff filter or the EasyClean filter may be dirty, which will make the dry-
ing time longer. Clean the fluff filter or the EasyClean filter.
■If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
■The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30 °C.
Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.
■Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-
