Information on laundry ...
Labelling of fabric s
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
(Dry at normal temperature.
'cDry at low temperature ain additi on, select &Low heat.
)cDo not machine dry.
Always observe the safety instructions on p age 13.
Do not tumble-dry the following fab rics, for example:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e .g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materi als (silk, curtains mad e from synthetic material) ath ese may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Drying tips
– To ensure an even result, sort th e laundry by fabric type and drying pro gramme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with
large items of laundry (e.g. towels).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and bu tton up covers.
Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together
– Do not over-dry easy-ca re laundry aRisk of creasing.
Allow laundry to finish drying in the a ir.
– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. Th ey may, however, be refreshed apage 7,
Woollens Finish programm e.
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while are sidual
moisture will then be distributed even ly.
–The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing. aFine adju stment of
the drying result apage 6.
– Knitte dfab rics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble -dried.
aDo not use the Cupboard Dry Plus programm e.
– The drying of starched laundry should be limited. aStarch leaves behind a coating that
impairs drying.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use th e correct amount of
fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabri cs or small, individual items of laundry, use the Tim ed
programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.
Environmental protecti on / Energy-saving tip s
– Before drying, spin the laundr y thoroughly in the washing machine athe higher the spin
speed, the shorter the dryin g time will be, thus less e nergy is consumed.
Also spin easy-care laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
aProgramme overview apage 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Do not cover or seal the air inlet.

Important Information ...
Your dryer is designed to be par ticularly energy efficient. Its technical fea tures include
a refrigeration circuit, which u ses energy efficiently in a similar wa y to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchange r is cleaned automatic ally during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensati on container must be cleaned regularl y.
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters an d/or condensation container with filter.
ʑFluff filters
During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. Blocked fluff filters
may impair the heat exchange proces s.
The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned after every drying c ycle. Rinse regularly under
running water apage 4.
ʑFilter in the condensatio n container
The filter in the condensation container cleans the condensation. This condensation is
required for the automatic cleaning pr ocess. The filter should be cleaned regul arly under
running water. Empty the condens ation container before cleaning the filter apage 4/9.
ʑFabrics
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into c ontact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or pa int:
e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish rem over, stain remover, cleaning solvent. etc.
Empty all pockets.
Do not dry non-brea thable fabrics.
Avoid drying items that produce a lot of fluff.
Woollens should be refreshed only, using the woollens programme.

Labelling of fabrics
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
(Dry at normal temperature.
'cDry at low temperature ain addition, select &Low heat.
)cDo not machine dry.
Always observe the safety instructions on page 13.
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics, for example:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) athese may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Drying tips
– To ensure an even result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with
large items of laundry (e.g. towels).
– 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 woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed apage 7,
Woollens Finish programme.
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while aresidual
moisture will then be distributed evenly.
–The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing. aFine adjustment of
the drying result apage 6.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
aDo not use the Cupboard Dry Plus programme.
– The drying of starched laundry should be limited. aStarch leaves behind a coating that
impairs drying.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of
fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the Timed
programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.
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, thus less energy is consumed.
Also spin easy-care laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
aProgramme overview apage 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Do not cover or seal the air inlet.

Important Information ...
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy efficient. Its technical features include
a refrigeration circuit, which uses energy efficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned 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 container with filter.
ʑFluff filters
During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped 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 condensation is
required for the automatic cleaning process. The filter should be cleaned regularly under
running water. Empty the condensation 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, stain 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.
L:00, L:01, L:02, L:03 are shown in sequence
