1.2 Before using for the first time
• The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work
should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
• Ensure access to the place of disconnection (e.g. socket outlet, wall switch,
fuse).
• It is advisable to wipe out the drum with a damp cloth.
• Please follow the precautions in the USING FOR THE FIRST TIME section
before operating the newly installed appliance.
1.3 Correct use
• The appliance is suitable for drying home textiles. It is designed for use in
the home and for the above-mentioned purpose only. No liability is
assumed for any damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
• Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially
any electrical parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its
Customer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out
incorrectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings,
as well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not
working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given
in the REPAIR SERVICE section. If necessary, please contact Customer
Services.
• Use original spare parts only.
• Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass
the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instruc-
tions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on instal-
lation. In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use
the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.
Allow the appliance to stand for about 2 hours in the normal
operating position. Failure to do so can result in damage to the
appliance.

1 Safety precautions
7
Do not use the appliance to dry the following
•Unwashedwashing.
• Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable
chemicals, detergents or solvents (benzine, alcohol, stain remover, oil,
paint, wax, etc). Fire or explosion hazard!
Wash materials containing such substances first by hand with water or
allow the solvent to evaporate completely.
• Fabrics with traces of hair spray, hair gel, nail varnish remover or other
similar substances. Danger of gas build-up!
• Washing containing foam rubber or other rubber-like material. Ignition
hazard!
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
• Regularly clean the filters.
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing
an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a
fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have
been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce,
but not eliminate, the hazard. The «cool down» cycle of tumble dryers
should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or
spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments
include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

1 Safety precautions
8
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a
heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose
during drying.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.

1.4 Children in the home
• Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from
children.
• The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these
operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger
of electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow
children to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could
get locked inside.
• Tumble dryer additives (e.g. tumbler dryer sheets) can irritate the eyes,
mouth and throat and even cause choking! Keep tumble dryer additives
out of the reach of children.
• Use the childproof locking facility.

1.5 Note on use
• Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or if the inlet pipes are
damaged. Contact Customer Services.
• If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity
supply immediately.
• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by
Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
• Keep pets away from the appliance.
• To protect your washing, follow the fabric care symbols and the hints and
advice in the DRYING TIPS section.
• Do not use a fabric conditioner or other fabric care solutions for the wash.
Otherwise pay attention to the manufacturer’s information.
• Do not operate the appliance without or with a damaged door filter. Fire
hazard from fluff build-up!
• Take care not to allow fluff to build up around the drier.
• Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme, ensure that
there are no foreign objects or pets in the drum.
• During the drying process, the back, drum and inside of the appliance door
become hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching these parts.
• Never end the drying programme prematurely. A short cooling phase takes
place at the end of the drying programme. Providing you are able to do so,
remove the load quickly and spread it out to enable the heat to evaporate.
• The condensate water collected is not suitable for drinking.
• During longer periods of non-use, switch off the electricity by pulling out the
mains plug. Never pull the mains plug out by the cable.
Do not use the pivoting operating panel to lift or move the
appliance.

1.6 Maintenance
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out maintenance
work.
• The door filter must be cleaned each time after a drying programme.
• Do not spray the outside or the inside of the appliance with water. Do not
use a steam cleaner.
• Do not sit, lean or rest on the appliance door.
• Do not climb on to the appliance. Danger of tipping!
• Use original spare parts only.

2.1 Appliance description
The appliance operates with a closed air circuit. With the help of the heat
pump, the moisture is extracted from the air which is then heated up again.
Recovering heat in this way sharply reduces energy consumption. The
appliance has no electric heating element.
Thanks to the heat pump, the appliance dries at lower temperatures. All the
programmes are therefore gentler on your laundry.
The condensate water collected is discharged through an outlet at the rear
into the drainage system.
In general, as heat pumps give off a certain amount of moisture, rooms in
which there are heat pumps should be aired. If the room is kept closed, it
should be aired occasionally (either by opening the door to the room or a
window) between several consecutive drying programmes.

3 Programme overview
3.1 Programme sequence for automatic programmes
The drying programme has 3 phases:
Drying
The washing is tumble dried until it reaches the set level of dryness. The
drying programme is monitored by a moisture sensor. As soon as the
required level of dryness is reached, the «Cooling down/airing» phase starts.
Cooling down/airing
The washing is cooled down to a temperature at which creasing is minimized.
This phase lasts between 1–10 minutes. The washing can now be unloaded.
If the washing is not unloaded, the «Crease guard» programme starts.
Crease guard
The dried washing is moved at frequent intervals to prevent creasing.
If the «Easy care» function has been selected «Crease guard» runs
90 minutes, otherwise with all other programmes it runs 30 minutes. «Crease
guard» can be stopped at any time simply by opening the appliance door or
by pressing the button.
