knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Before using for the first time
䡲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.
䡲Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
䡲Ensure access to the place of disconnection (e.g. socket outlet, wall switch,
fuse).
䡲It is advisable to wipe out the drum with a damp cloth.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards
and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is
however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please there-
fore follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.
Read the operating instructions carefully before placing the appliance
in operation!

… Safety precautions

Correct use
䡲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.
䡲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.
䡲Use original spare parts only.
䡲Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass
the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating
instructions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on
installation. In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how
to use the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.
Do not use the appliance to dry the following
䡲Unwashed washing.
䡲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.
䡲Fabrics with traces of hair spray, hair gel, nail varnish remover or other
similar substances. Danger of gas build-up!
䡲Washing containing foam rubber or other rubber-like material. Ignition
hazard!

… Safety precautions
7
Children in the home
䡲Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for chil-
dren. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.
䡲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.
䡲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.
䡲Use the childproof locking facility.
Note on use
䡲Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or if the inlet pipes are
damaged. Contact Customer Services.
䡲If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity
supply immediately.
䡲If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by
Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
䡲Keep pets away from the appliance.
䡲To protect your washing, follow the fabric care symbols and the hints and
advice in the 'Drying tips' section.
䡲Do not use a fabric conditioner or other fabric care solutions for the wash.
Otherwise pay attention to the manufacturer's information.
䡲Do not operate the appliance without or with a damaged door filter. Fire
hazard from fluff build-up!
䡲Take care not to allow fluff to build up around the drier.
Do not use the pivoting operating panel to lift or move the
appliance.

… Safety precautions
8
䡲Make certain that sufficient ventilation is present. Avoid the backflow of
gases from appliances which burn different fuels, including open flame.
䡲Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme, ensure that
there are no foreign objects or pets in the drum.
䡲During the drying process, the back, drum and inside of the appliance door
become hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching these parts.
䡲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.
䡲The condensate water collected is not suitable for drinking.
䡲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.
Maintenance
䡲Disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out maintenance
work.
䡲The door filter must be cleaned each time the appliance is used.
䡲Do not spray the outside or the inside of the appliance with water. Do not
use a steam cleaner.
䡲Do not sit, lean or rest on the appliance door.
䡲Do not climb on to the appliance (danger of tipping).
䡲Use original spare parts only.
Ensure the drum has stopped moving before reaching inside. Do
not touch the drum while it is still in motion – risk of serious injury!

Programme overview
The programme duration and energy consumption data are for a 6 kg wash
load spun at around 1000 rpm (corresponding to a residual moisture level of
about 60 %). A higher spinning speed and a smaller load reduce them by
about 20–30 %.
Programme sequence for the automatic programmes
The drying process has 3 phases:
Tumble drying
The washing is tumble dried until it reaches the set level of dryness. The
tumble drying process is monitored by a moisture sensor. As soon as the
required level of dryness is reached, the «Cool down/Airing» phase starts.
Cool down/Airing
The washing is cooled down to a temperature at which creasing is minimized.
This phase lasts between 4 and 10 minutes. The washing can now be
removed from the appliance.
If the washing is not unloaded, the «Crease guard» programme starts.
Crease guard
With the «Crease guard» programme, the dried washing is moved at frequent
intervals to prevent creasing.
«Crease guard» lasts 90 minutes if the «Ultra care» function has been select-
ed, otherwise with all other programmes it lasts 30 minutes. «Crease guard»
can be stopped at any time simply by opening the appliance door.
To select the right drying programme, follow the fabric care symbols
on garment labels, e.g. .
