Environmental tips
- In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing.
- Your dryer will function most economically if you:
- Always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;
-
Use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;
-
Ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;
- Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;
- Spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning speed - lower energy consumption.

Care and cleaning
Cleaning fluff filter
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying. To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine filter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after every drying cycle. The Filters (Sieb) diode is on to remind you of this operation.
Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters.

Open loading door
-
Use a damp hand to clean the micro- fine filter, which is built into the lower part of the loading aperture.
-
(see " Care and cleaning" chapter.)
Once the drying cycle is complete, display shows a blinking . If the Buzzer (Signal) button has been pressed, an acoustic signal sounds intermittently for about one minute.
The drying cycles are automatically followed by an anti-crease phase which lasts around 30 minutes. The drum rotates at intervals during this phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free of creases. The laundry can be removed at any time during the anti-crease phase. (The laundry should be taken out towards the end of the anticreate phase at the latest to prevent creases from forming.) If long anti-crease function has been selected, the anti-crease phase is lengthened by 60 minutes.
- Open door.
- Remove fluff from the fluff filters (see “Care and cleaning” chapter.)
- Remove laundry.
- Turn the programme selector to Off (Aus) position.
- Close the door.

After a period of time, a patina due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter from the door pulling it out. It can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right). After cleaning do not forget to put it back.

Push down unlock button on large mesh filter. Large mesh filter jumps up.

Take out fine strainer.
- Remove fluff from fine strainer. It is best to use a damp hand for this purpose.
Clean the entire filter area
The strainer area does not have to be cleaned after every drying cycle, but should be checked regularly and cleaned of fluff if necessary.

To do this, grip the top of the large mesh filter and pull it forwards until it comes loose from the two brackets.
-
Remove fluff from the entire filter area. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner for this purpose.
-
Press both journals of the large mesh filter into the brackets on the loading door until they snap into place.
-
Re-insert fine strainer.

Press against the large mesh filter until it locks into the interlock.
If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large mesh filter will not snap into place and the loading door cannot be closed.
Cleaning the door seal
Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth immediately after the drying cycle has finished.
Emptying the water reservoir
Empty the water reservoir after every drying cycle. If the water reservoir is full, an active programme is stopped and the Water reservoir (Behalter) diode is on. To continue the programme, empty the water reservoir.
Warning! The condensed water cannot be use to drink or to prepare a food.

Take out water reservoir completely.

Pour condensed water out into a basin or similar receptacle.
- Refit water reservoir. If the programme has been interrupted as a result of the water reservoir being full: Press the Start/Pause button to continue the drying cycle.
The water reservoir has a volume of approx. 4 litres. This is sufficient for around 7kg of laundry which has previously been spun at 1000 revolutions/minute.
The condensed water can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. However first filter the condensed water (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any residue and small pieces of fluff.
Cleaning heat exchanger
If the Condenser (Wärmetauscher) diode is on, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.
Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger is blocked with fluff can damage the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.
- Open door.

Open door in plinth. To do this, press the release button on the bottom of the door aperture and open the door in the plinth to the left.
- Clean fluff from the inside of the door and the heat exchanger front chamber. Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth.

Turn both lock washers inwards.

Use the handle to pull the heat exchanger out of the base and carry it horizontally to prevent any remaining water from spilling.
- To empty the heat exchanger, hold vertically over a washing-up bowl.
!Caution! Do not use sharp objects to clean. The heat exchanger could develop leaks.
- Clean heat exchanger. It is best to use a brush or to rinse thoroughly with a hand-held shower.
- Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn both lock washers outwards until they snap into place).
- Close door in plinth.
Caution! Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.
Cleaning the drum
Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.
Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.
Clean operating screen and housing
Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.

1) Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values. Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water.
2) By default the warning LED is always on at the end of the drying cycle or during the cycle if the water reservoir is full. When using an external drain for the condensed water warning can be offi
