Frequently Asked Questions - R8580X2ES NEFF

How do I clean the fluff filter?

Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle: open the dryer door, remove the two-part fluff filter, separate the parts, remove all lint, rinse under warm running water, dry thoroughly, then close and reinsert. Do not operate without the filter.

What should I do if the dryer does not start?

Check that the mains plug is connected and the fuse is intact. Ensure a programme is selected and the dryer door is closed. Deactivate the childproof lock if active. If a Ready in (delay start) is set, the programme will start later.

How do I activate the childproof lock?

Press and hold the Ready in time button and the drying time button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The symbol will appear in the display. Repeat to deactivate.

Why is the laundry still damp after the programme ends?

Warm laundry feels damper than it is; spread it out to cool. If still damp, increase the dryness level or select a longer drying programme. Check if the load exceeds the maximum for the programme. Clean the moisture sensor inside the drum.

How do I empty the condensate container?

Pull out the condensate container horizontally, pour out the water, and push it back until it clicks into place. Empty after each drying cycle to avoid programme interruption.

Can I connect the dryer to a wastewater drain?

Yes, an optional condensation drain can be installed. Follow the instructions in the manual to change the drain hose and fit the drain hose from the accessories. Ensure proper drainage and no kinks.

What does the 'SelfCleaning' message mean?

It indicates the heat exchanger is being automatically cleaned. Do not pull out the condensate container while this message is displayed. It is not a fault.

How do I set the 'Ready in' (delay start) function?

Select a programme, then press the Ready in button repeatedly to set the desired number of hours until the programme ends (1-24 hours). The start will be delayed accordingly.

What types of laundry can I dry in the basket for woollens?

Use the basket for woollens for delicate items such as woollen pullovers, skirts, trousers, sports shoes (without insert), and soft toys. Always place items loosely and ensure they do not come into contact with the drum.

Where can I find the product number (E-Nr) and production number (FD)?

The product number (E-Nr) and production number (FD) are located on the inside of the dryer door or on the rear of the appliance. Have these ready when contacting after-sales service.

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.

Changing the condensation drain

Notes

The condensation from the dryer can either be discharged into the condensation container or drained off via a connection to the wastewater system. By default, the condensation from the dryer is discharged into the condensation container.

If the condensation drain is installed, residual water remains in the condensation container due to the dryer's self-cleaning function.

Proceed as follows to change the condensation drain:

1. Remove the accessories from the dryer drum.

1. When the dryer is delivered from the factory, the hose for discharging the condensation into the condensation container is fastened to the connecting piece.
2. Disconnect the hose from the connecting piece and put it in the "parked" position.

1. Take the drain hose from the accessories and secure it to the free connecting piece.

1. Fasten the other end of the drain hose with the remaining accessories, depending on the connection situation (A, B or C).

Caution!

Accumulated water can be drawn back into the dryer and may cause material damage.

Check that the water drains away from the wash basin quickly. The drain must not be sealed or blocked.

Caution!

Material damage due to leaks or draining water.

Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out. Do not kink the drain hose. Ensure that a height difference of max. 100 cm and min. 80 cm between the installation surface and the drain is maintained for drainage into a siphon.

Installation and connection

1. Pull out the condensation container fully.

1. Turn the condensation container 180° onto its underside and remove the stopper that is fitted. Turn the condensation container back over and insert the stopper into the recess in the top of the condensation container.

1. Pull the filter out of the lock-in slot and place it into the recess in the top of the condensation container.

1. Slide in the condensation container until it clicks into place.

The condensation is now discharged via the drain hose into the waste-water system or into a wash basin.

Laundry

Preparing the laundry

Warning

Risk of explosion/fire!

Remove any cigarette lighters and matches from pockets.

Caution!

The dryer drum and fabrics could be damaged.

Remove all objects from pockets and observe the following information:

■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag. ■ Close zips, hooks and eyelets and buttons. Button up large items of laundry, such as covers. ■ Remove any metal objects, such as paper clips, from pockets. ■ To ensure a consistent drying result, sort laundry by fabric type and drying programme. ■ Always dry very small items of laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together with large items such as towels. - Knitted fabrics such as T-shirts and jerseys often shrink the first time they are tumble-dried. Use a gentle programme. - Do not overdry easy-care laundry. This increases creasing of the laundry. ■ Use timed programmes for single garments.

■ Some detergents and care products, e.g. starch or softeners, contain particles which may be deposited on the moisture sensor. This may impair the sensor function and in consequence the drying result.

Notes

• When washing laundry to be tumble-dried, use the correct amount of detergent and care products as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
• Clean the moisture sensor regularly → Page 34.

Sorting washing according to:

☐ Suitable for tumble drying Dry at normal temperature Dry at low temperature Do not tumble-dry

Note: Do not load laundry from the washing machine directly into the tumble dryer. Sort the spun laundry before placing it in the dryer drum.

If you dry thin, thick and multi-layer fabrics together, they will dry to differing degrees. To achieve an even drying result, you should therefore only dry together laundry of the same type of fabric and structure. If you feel that the laundry is still too damp, you can select a timed programme for subsequent drying → Page 23.

Caution!

Possibility of material damage to the dryer or laundry.

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:

■ Laundry contaminated with oil. ■ Unwashed fabrics. ■ Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated). - Easily damaged fabrics such as silk, synthetic curtains.

Removing laundry and switching off the dryer

1. Remove the laundry.
2. Turn the programme selector to the "off" position.

Clean the fluff filter

Note: During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry are trapped by the fluff filter. If the fluff filter is blocked or dirty, this reduces the airflow, which prevents the dryer from achieving its maximum performance. Clean fluff filters also reduce energy consumption and 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.

1. Remove the fluff from the recess in the fluff filter.

Note: Ensure that no fluff falls into the open shaft.

1. Pull apart the two-part fluff filter.

1. Open both filters and remove all the fluff.

1. Rinse away the fluff under warm, running water.

1. 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.

Emptying the condensate container

Notes

• You can drain off the condensation into the waste-water system using an optional condensation drain*. For installation, see Page 14. If you drain the condensation using an optional condensation drain, you do not have to empty the condensate container.

Note: After each drying cycle, empty the condensate container; otherwise the next drying programme may be cancelled as a result of the condensate container being full.

1. Pull out the condensate container horizontally.

1. Pour out the condensation water.

Caution!

Dirty condensation water may be harmful to your health and cause material damage.

Condensation water is not suitable for drinking and may be contaminated with fluff. Do not drink the condensation water or reuse it.

1. Push in the condensate container until you feel it lock back into place in the dryer.

Note: The filter in the condensate container filters the condensation which is used during the dryer's automatic cleaning cycle. The filter is cleaned by emptying the condensation. Nevertheless, you should check the filter regularly for remaining deposits and remove them. See → Page 35.

Signal setting

You can change the following settings:

■ The spin speed that is used for spinning your laundry before it is dried, ■ The volume of the audible signal at the end of the programme, ■ The volume of the audible button signals.

You will need to activate the setting mode in order to change these settings.

Activating setting mode

1. Press the "Ready in" time button or the drying time button to change the volume.

Exiting setting mode

Turn the programme selector to the "Off" position once you have set the required spin speed and the volume. The settings have now been saved.

Noises

Note: During drying, particularly in the initial phase, operation of the appliance results in noise from the compressor and pump. This is perfectly normal and does not impair proper functioning of the appliance.

From time to time, the compressor in the dryer generates a humming noise. However, the volume may vary depending on the programme and progress of the drying process.

Every now and then, the compressor is ventilated. This creates a whirring noise.

The automatic cleaning of the dryer causes a clicking sound.

The condensation is pumped into the condensate container by a pump. This generates pumping noises.

Cleaning

Cleaning the dryer and the control panel

Warning

Risk of death!

There is a risk of electric shock as the dryer is operated with electricity. Disconnect the dryer from the mains before cleaning.

Clean the dryer using only water and a soft, damp cloth.

Remove all detergent residue, spray residue or other residues immediately. Do not use cleaning agents or agents for pre-treating laundry (e.g. prewash sprays, stain removers). Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners to clean your appliance.

Cleaning the moisture sensor

Note: The dryer is equipped with a stainless-steel moisture sensor. The moisture sensor measures how damp the laundry is.

After long periods of usage the moisture sensor may become covered by a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products. Such residues must be removed regularly as the sensor function and in consequence the drying result may be impaired.

Open the door and clean the moisture sensor with a coarse sponge.

Caution!

Moisture sensor may be damaged.

Do not clean moisture sensors with abrasives and steel wool.

Cleaning the filter in the condensate container

Note: The filter in the condensate container cleans the condensation water that is used during the dryer's automatic cleaning cycle.

1. Pull out the condensate container horizontally.
2. Pour out the condensation water.
3. Remove the filter.

1. Clean the filter under warm, running water or in the dishwasher.

1. Push in the filter until you feel it lock into place.

Caution!

The dryer may be contaminated with fluff and thus become damaged.

Only operate the dryer with the filter inserted.

1. Push in the condensate container until you feel it lock into place.

Faults and what to do about them

on the display panel.	Clean the fluff filter and press the Start button → Page 30.
selfCleaning on the display panel.	Not a fault. The heat exchanger is cleaned automatically. Do not pull out the condensation container while this is displayed.
Dryer will not start. Mains plug plugged in or fuse checked?Programme selected? Select a programme.Dryer door open? Close the door.Is the childproof lock activated? Deactivate childproof lock."Ready in" time selected? Programme starts after a delay → Page 25.
Creasing. Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected the wrong programme for the type of fabric. All the required information can be found in the programme table → Page 23.Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing will occur if they are left in the drum.
Water is leaking out. Not a fault; the dryer may be sloping. Level the dryer.
Change in the programme duration displayed during drying.	Not a fault. The moisture sensors detect the remaining moisture in the load and adjust the programme length (except timed programmes).
Laundry is not dried correctly or is still too damp.	After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it actually is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier → Page 25.Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the dryness level. This does not increase the temperature.Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still damp → Page 23.If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry may not be dried properly.Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered by a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products which then impair its function. Your laundry is not being dried correctly → Page 34.Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the condensation container is full or because the maximum drying time has been exceeded.Note: See also the laundry tips → Page 22.

* Depending on the model

Faults Cause/remedy
Drying time too long?	The fluff filter may be dirty and cause a longer drying time. Clean the fluff filter.If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30 °C. Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-late the room.
Display panel goes off and Start button flashes.	Not a fault. Energy-saving mode is active → Page 12.
Residual water in the condensation container despite the dryer being connected to the con-densation drain*.	Not a fault. If the condensation drain is installed, residual water remains in the condensation container due to the dryer's self-cleaning function.
Humidity in the room increases.	Not a fault. Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Power cut. The drying programme is interrupted. Remove the laundry and spread it out or restart the programme.
Unusual noises when drying.	Not a fault. Noises are produced by the automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger → Page 33.
The dryer feels cold despite drying.	Not a fault. The dryer can dry efficiently at low temperatures using a heat pump.
