2 Preventing material
damage
ATTENTION!
The functionality of the appliance
may be impaired if you use the
wrong quantity of fabric softener, de-
tergent, care product or cleaning
agent.
▶Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer.
Exceeding the maximum load capa-
city impairs the function of the appli-
ance.
▶Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do
not exceed it.
→"Programmes", Page25
The function of the appliance may be
impaired if the appliance overheats.
▶Keep the ventilation opening on
the appliance clear during opera-
tion.
▶Make sure that the area is ad-
equately ventilated.
Light objects such as hair and fluff
may be sucked in from the ventilation
opening on the appliance during op-
eration and impair the function of the
appliance.
▶Keep the area around the appli-
ance clean during operation.
▶Keep light objects away from the
appliance.
Foam and foam rubber may deform
or melt during the drying process.
▶Do not dry laundry that contains
foam or foam rubber.
Unsuitable cleaning products may
damage the surfaces of the appli-
ance.
▶Do not use harsh or abrasive de-
tergents.
▶Do not use cleaning products with
a high alcohol content.
▶Do not use hard scouring pads or
cleaning sponges.
▶Clean the appliance with nothing
but water and a soft, damp cloth.
▶Remove all detergent residue,
spray residue or other residues im-
mediately if they come into contact
with the appliance.
3 Environmental protec-
tion and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.
▶Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Operate the appliance in a well-vent-
ilated room and keep the ventilation
opening on the appliance clear.
aIf air exchange is impeded, this ex-
tends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
Spin the laundry in the washing ma-
chine before drying.
aDamper laundry extends the pro-
gramme duration and increases
energy consumption.
Observe the programme's maximum
load capacity.
→"Programmes", Page25
aIf the maximum load is exceeded,
this extends the programme dura-
tion and increases energy con-
sumption.

en Installation and connection
12
After drying, clean the fluff filter
→Page30.
aIf the fluff filter is dirty, this reduces
the air flow in the appliance, ex-
tends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
Regularly clean the base unit
→Page37.
aIf the heat exchanger is dirty, this
extends the programme duration
and increases energy consump-
tion.
3.3 Energy saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an
extended period, it automatically
switches to energy-saving mode. All
displays go out and ⁠ Start/Re-
load flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you
use the appliance again.
4 Installation and con-
nection
4.1 Unpacking the appliance
ATTENTION!
Objects remaining in the drum that
are not designed for operation with
the appliance may cause material
damage and damage to the appli-
ance.
▶Remove these objects, along with
all supplied accessories, from the
