Important Information
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy-saving and its technical features include
a refrigeration circuit that uses energy efficiently, in a simila r way to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchange r is cleaned automatically during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensati on tank must be cleaned regularly.
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filter and condensation tank!
ʑFluff filter
During drying, fluff and hairs from the laundry are trapped in the fluff filter. A blocked flu ff filter
may impair the heat exchange proces s.
The fluff filter should therefore be cleane d after every drying cycle.
Rinse the filter regularly under running water aPage 4.
ʑFilter in the condensatio n tank
The filter in the condensation tank cleans the condensation. This condensation is required
for the automatic cleaning process. The filter must be cle aned regularly under running water.
Empty the condensation tank before cleaning the filter aPage 9.
ʑFabrics
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into c ontact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint:
e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish rem over, stain remover, cleaning solvent. etc.
Empty all pockets.
Do not dry airtight fabrics.
Avoid drying fabrics that produce a lot o f fluff.
Woollens should be refreshed only using the woollens programme.
