Safety precautions
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
䡲This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, un-
less supervised or unless they have been given instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Transport
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology stand
ards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the
appliance is however essential to avoid damage and acci
dents. Please therefore follow the precautions given in these
operating instructions.
Transport the appliance in an upright position only or, if nec
essary, tilted on its left side (front view). Being transported
any other way can cause damage to the appliance!

…Safety precautions
6
Before using for the first time
䡲The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accord-
ance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be car-
ried 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.
䡲Please follow the precautions in the 'Using for the first time' section before operat-
ing the newly installed appliance.
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 dam-
age caused by improper or incorrect use.
䡲Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any elec-
trical 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 con-
tact Customer Services.
䡲Use original spare parts only.
䡲Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appli-
ance 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 per-
tinent 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.

…Safety precautions
7
Do not use the appliance to dry the following:
䡲Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable chemicals, de-
tergents 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 sub-
stances. Danger of gas build-up!
䡲Washing containing foam rubber or other rubber-like material. Ignition hazard!
Children in the home
䡲Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children.
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 appli-
ances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the appli-
ance – 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.

…Safety precautions

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 operate the appliance without or with a damaged door filter. Fire hazard
from fluff build-up!
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 be-
come hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching these parts.
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.

Your appliance
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 pro-
grammes 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 occa-
sionally (either by opening the door to the room or a window) between several con-
secutive drying programmes.

Using for the first time
When the appliance is connected to the power supply for the first time, it is possible
to select a function test. The purpose of the function test is to check the installation and
it lasts about 3 minutes. The heat pump is not started. The function test can therefore
be selected immediately after installation.
AConnect the appliance and wait until the
following appears in the plain text display:
Start function test «YES»:
Start function test «NO»:
Once the function test has been run, it can no longer be selected and the appliance
enters the normal selection mode.
APress the button.
– The function test starts (the washing drum reverses and the process fan
starts).
The function test cannot be interrupted by pressing the button or by
disconnecting the power.
APress the button.
– The function test is deselected
The appliance must be allowed to stand in the normal operating position for
about 2 hours before starting the heat pump.

Programme overview
Programme sequence for automatic programmes
The drying programme has three phases.
Drying
The washing is tumble dried until it reaches the set level of dryness. The drying pro-
gramme 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 ultra care function has been selected «Crease guard» runs 90 minutes, oth-
erwise 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.

…Programme overview

Automatic programmes
To select the right drying programme, follow the fabric care symbols on gar-
ment labels, e.g. .
Programme Symbol Use

For thick, multi-layered fabrics and mixed loads.
Not suitable for knitted or woven articles such as T-shirts and underwear as
they could shrink.
Normal dry For similar items of washing (e.g. terry towelling and underwear).
Iron dry For items that are to be ironed.
Damp For items that are to be pressed in a mangle (e.g. table linen).
Woollens For woollen fabrics labelled as washable. Gentle drying through a gentle
drum action and a low temperature.
WetClean For loosening up delicate fabrics (unload immediately after programme
finishes).
Favourites 3 programmes which can be freely put together and saved ( ).
Timed drying For drying off textiles. Also for drying suitable sleeping bags and quilts, and
any individual items of washing.

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 %.
