1Safety
Before first starting up
•Note the ”Installation and connection instruc-
tions”
•Before first starting up, check the machine for any
damage incurred during transport. Never connect
up a damaged machine. If parts are damaged,
contact your supplier.
Intended use
•The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in
domestic applications.
•Conversions or modifications to the dryer are not
permitted.
•The laundry must not contain flammable solvents
(benzene, alcohol, stain remover, etc.) . Risk of fire
and/or explosion! Laundry which has come into
contact with such substances must be rinsed thor-
oughly by hand before drying.
•When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use those
products which are declared as suitable for the

•Do not overfill the dryer. Risk of fire! Observe max.
loading volume of 6 kg.
•Ensure that explosive objects (e.g. cigarette light-
ers, spray cans, etc.) do not enter the dryer with
the laundry. Risk of fire and/or explosion!
•Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire hazard and should not be placed in the tumble
dryer.
•If you have washed your laundry with stain remover
you must execute an extra rinse cycle before load-
ing your tumble dryer.
•Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after
each drying cycle.
•Do not use the machine if there are no lint filters or
if these are damaged. Risk of fire!
•Clean the heat exchanger regularly.
•With stacked washer and dryer: Do not place ob-
jects on the dryer. These may fall off during opera-
tion.
•The covering bonnet of the bulb for the drum light
must be screwed down tightly.
Child safety
•Keep packaging away from children. Risk of suffo-
cation!
•Children can often not see the dangers associated
with electric machines. Never leave unsupervised
children near the dryer.
•Ensure that children and small animals cannot
climb into the dryer’s drum. Risk of death! Keep
the dryer door shut whenever it is not being used.
General safety
•Only specialists may undertake repairs on the dry-
er.
•Never start up the dryer if the mains cable is dam-
aged or if the operating screen, operating plate or
base area are damaged so that the inside of the

2Environmental tips
•In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fab-
ric softeners are not therefore needed when wash-
ing.
•Your dryer will function most economically if you:
–always keep the ventilation slots on the base of
the dryer unobstructed;
–use the loading volumes specified in the pro-
gramme overview;
–ensure you have good ventilation in the installa-
tion room;
–clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after
each drying cycle;
–spin the laundry well before drying. Example:
Consumption data – depending on spinning
speed – for 6kg of laundry, dried using the COT-
TONS STORAGE DRY (BAUMWOLLE
SCHRANKTROCKEN) programme.

Before the first drying cycle
In order to remove any residue which may have been
produced during production, wipe the dryer drum
with a damp cloth or undertake a brief drying cycle
(30 MIN) with damp cloths.
Sorting and preparing laundry
Sorting laundry
•Sort by fabric type:
–Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS
(BAUMWOLLE) programme group.
–Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY
CARES (MISCHGEWEBE) programme group.
•Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:
•Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with
light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may
bleed.
•Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA
DRY (EXTRA TROCKEN) programme. Items may
become stuck!
•Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entan-
gled! After air-drying, wool may be dried with the
WOOL CARE (WOLLPFLEGE) programme.
Preparing laundry
•To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips,
button up coverings and tie loose bands or ribbons
(e.g. of aprons).
•Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paper-
clips, safety pins etc).
•Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out
(e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer
should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry
better.

14
Clean the entire filter area
3The strainer area does not have to be cleaned
after every drying cycle, but should be
checked regularly and cleaned of fluff if neces-
sary.
6. To do this, grip the top of the large mesh filter and
pull it forwards until it comes loose from the two
brackets.
7. Remove fluff from the entire filter area. It is best to
use a vacuum cleaner for this purpose.
8. Press both journals of the large mesh filter into the
brackets on the loading door until they snap into
place.
9. Re-insert fine strainer.
10.Press against the large mesh filter until it locks
into the interlock.
3If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large mesh
filter will not snap into place and the loading
door cannot be closed.
Cleaning the door seal
Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth immediately
after the drying cycle has finished.

15
Emptying the condensate
tank
Empty condensate tank after every drying cycle.
If the condensate tank is full, an active programme
will break off automatically and the EMPTY WATER
(BEHÄLTER) display will light up. In order to continue
the programme, the condensate tank must first be
emptied.
1Warning! The condensate is not suitable for
drinking or for preparing foodstuffs.
1. Pull drawer containing condensate tank out all the
way (1). Pull out condensate tank’s outlet connec-
tions (2).
2. Pour condensate out into basin or other suitable
container.
3. Slide outlet connections in and refit condensate
tank.
If the programme has been interrupted as a result of
the condensate tank being full:
Press the START/PAUSE button to continue the dry-
ing cycle.
3The condensate tank has a volume of approx.
4 litres. This is sufficient for around 6kg of
laundry which has previously been spun at
800 revolutions/minute.
3The condensate can be used as distilled wa-
ter, e.g. for steam ironing. However first filter
the condensate (e.g. with a coffee filter) to re-
move any residue and small pieces of fluff.

16
Cleaning heat exchanger
If the HEAT EXCHANGER (WÄRMETAUSCHER) dis-
play is illuminated, the heat exchanger needs to be
cleaned.
1Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger
is clogged with lint can damage the dryer. This
also increases energy consumption.
1. Open loading door
2. Open base door. To do this, press the release but-
ton located beneath the loading aperture and open
the base door to the left.
3. Remove lint from the inside of the door and the
heat exchange chamber. Wipe the door seal with a
damp cloth.
4. Turn both lock washers inwards.
5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchanger out of
the base and carry it horizontally to prevent any re-
maining water from spilling.
6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold vertically over a
washing-up bowl.
1Caution! Do not use sharp objects to clean.
The heat exchanger could develop leaks.
7. Clean heat exchanger.
It is best to use a brush or to rinse thoroughly with
a shower head.
8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn
both lock washers outwards until they snap into
place).
9. Close base door.
3The dryer will not operate if the HEAT EX-
CHANGER (WÄRMETAUSCHER) indicator is
still lit.
1Caution! Never operate the dryer without the
heat exchanger.

17
Cleaning the drum
1Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to
clean the drum.
3Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form
a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum.
The degree to which the laundry has been
dried is then no longer detected reliably. The
laundry is damper than expected when re-
moved from the dryer.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based
cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and
drum ribs.
Clean operating screen and
housing
1Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or ag-
gressive cleaning agents to clean the ma-
chine.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen
and housing.
