Important Information
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy efficien t. Its technical features include a
refrigeration circuit, which uses energy ef ficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatic ally 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 container 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 after 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 conde nsation is
required for the automatic cleaning process. The fi lter should be cleaned regularly under
running water. Empty the condensat ion container before cleaning the filter apage 4/9.
ʑFabrics
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents , 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 f luff.
Woollens should be refreshed only, using t he woollens programme.
