Safety for children
:Warning
Risk of death or injury!
You should therefore observe
the following:
■Do not leave the dryer
unattended when children or
other people who cannot
assess the risks are nearby.
■Do not let children play with
the dryer.
■Children may become
entangled in packaging or

over their heads and
suffocate. Keep packaging,
packaging parts and film out
of the reach of children.
■Children may lock
themselves in the dryer.
Therefore, when an
appliance has reached the
end of its service life, unplug
it from the mains, cut through
the mains cable and destroy
the lock on the dryer door.
Appliance safety
:Warning
Risk of death!
■Do not use the dryer if
industrial chemicals have
been used to clean it.
■Laundry that has come into
contact with solvents, oil,
wax, wax remover, paint,
grease or stain remover may
ignite or cause an explosion
when drying is in progress.
Before drying, rinse the
laundry in hot water with
detergent.
■Coal dust or flour in the area
around the dryer may cause
an explosion.
■Only replace defective
components with genuine
spare parts.

en Safety instructions

Caution!
Risk of material damage to the
dryer or fabrics
■Only use the dryer for drying
and freshening up fabrics at
home and for fabrics that
have been washed with
water and are suitable for
tumble-drying.
Any other use is not
considered intended use and
is prohibited.
■Foamed material or foam
rubber may become
deformed or melt during
drying. Do not dry any
laundry that contains foamed
material or rubber.
■Do not lean or sit on the
dryer door, as the dryer may
tip over.
■Loose cables or hoses may
cause you to trip. Avoid
tripping hazards.
■Light things, such as hair,
may be sucked into the air
inlet during operation; keep
these away from the dryer.
■The last phase of the drying
cycle takes place without any
heat (cooling cycle) to
ensure that the laundry
remains at a temperature
that will not damage it.

protection
Environmentalprotection Packaging/old appliance
)
Dispose of packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
This appliance is designated according
to European directive 2012/19/EC
which governs waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE).
The directive provides a framework for
the collection and recycling of old
appliances, which is valid across the
EU.
Coolant
The dryer's heat exchanger contains
fluorinated greenhouse gas in a
hermetically sealed unit.
Dispose of the dryer properly.
Energy-saving tips
■Spin the laundry before drying. The
drier the laundry, the shorter the
drying time will be, thus consuming
less energy.
■Load the dryer with the maximum
load.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programs, as this
prolongs the drying time and
increases energy consumption.
■Ventilate the room and keep the air
inlet on the dryer free to ensure air
exchange.
■Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle. If the fluff filter is dirty, the
drying time is prolonged and energy
consumption is increased.
■Energy saving mode: If the dryer is
not operated for a prolonged period,
it automatically switches off before
the program starts and when the
program has ended to save energy.
The display panel and indicator
lamps go off after a few minutes and
the Start button flashes. To activate
the lighting, press any button, open
or close the dryer door or turn the
program selector.

Laundry Preparing the laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosion or fire!
Remove any cigarette lighters and
matches from pockets.
Caution!
The dryer drum and fabrics may be
damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets and
take note of the following information:
■Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do
up any buttons.
■To ensure a consistent drying result,
sort the laundry by fabric type and
drying programme.
■Remove any metal objects, such as
paper clips, from pockets.
■Knitted fabrics, such as T-shirts and
jerseys, often shrink slightly the first
time they are tumble-dried. Use a
gentle programme.
■Do not over-dry easy-care laundry.
This increases creasing of the
laundry.
■When washing laundry that is to be
tumble-dried afterwards, use the
correct amount of fabric softener as
specified in the manufacturer's
instructions.
Sorting washing according to:
cSuitable for tumble drying
aDry at normal temperature
`Dry at low temperature
bDo not tumble-dry
If you dry thin- and thick-layered fabrics
and fabrics with several layers together,
these will dry to differing degrees. To
achieve an even drying result, you
should therefore only dry laundry of the
same type of fabric and structure
together. If you feel that the laundry is
still too damp afterwards, you can select
a time programme for subsequent
drying ~Page 13.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the dryer or
laundry.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics, such
as rubber-coated laundry.

Clean the fluff filter
Note: During drying, fluff and hair from
the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. If
the fluff filter is blocked or dirty, this
reduces the flow of air, which prevents
the dryer from achieving its maximum
performance. Clean fluff filters also
reduce energy consumption and the
drying time.
Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle:
1. Open the dryer door and remove all
fluff from the door.
2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.
3. Remove the fluff from the recess in
the fluff filter.
Note: Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Pull apart the two-part fluff filter.
5. Open both filters and remove all the
fluff.
6. Rinse away the fluff under warm,
running water.
7. Dry the fluff filter, close it and reinsert
the two-part fluff filter.
Caution!
The dryer may be damaged.
Do not operate the dryer without a fluff
filter or if the fluff filter is defective.
