Important Information
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy effic ient. Its technical features include a
refrigeration circuit, which uses energy e fficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleane d automatically during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensation container must be cleaned regularly.
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters and/or condensation contai ner with filter.
ʑFluff filters
During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is t rapped by the fluff filter. Blocked fluff filters
may impair the heat exchange process.
The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned afte r every drying cycle. Rinse regularly under
running water apage 4.
ʑFilter in the condensation container
The filter in the condensation container cleans the condensation. This con densation is
required for the automatic cleaning process. The filter should be cleaned regularly under
running water. Empty the condensa tion container before cleaning the filter apage 4/9.
ʑFabrics
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvent s, oil, wax, grease or paint:
e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish remover, st ain remover, cleaning solvent. etc.
Empty all pockets.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics.
Avoid drying items that produce a lot of fluff.
Woollens should be refreshed only, using the woollens programme.
