Grounding Instructions

Warning

Danger of death!

Improper connection of the ground may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a qualified technician or licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the washing machine has been properly grounded.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. To ground the appliance use a 3 pin plug and properly grounded socket of 16 A rating.

Notes

• Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If the plug will not fit into outlet have a properly grounded outlet installed by qualified electrician. Do not cut, remove or bypass the grounding prong on the washing machine power cord plug.
  ■ The wiring for the electrical outlet circuit must be sufficient to meet the appliance requirements. Use of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is recommended.
• Do not use the machine with an extension box, extension cord, spike busters etc., as this may lead to improper grounding conditions.

Installation for the exhaust air duct

Caution!

Damage to the appliance

Inappropriate connecting of the exhaust air duct to the dryer may cause damages to the appliance. In order to avoid it follow advises included in this chapter.

Notes

It is recommended to route the exhaust air directly into the open air through an exhaust air duct. A drain check valve must be fitted then to prevent air from flowing back.
■ The air extraction system must not exceed the specified pressure losses.
■ Clean the exhaust air duct regularly, at least once a year.

When operating the dryer without an exhaust air duct, the following must also be observed:

■ Ensure that the room is well ventilated, otherwise energy consumption and drying time will increase. Bad ventilation of the room may lead to the increase of moisture which may cause damages, e.g. to walls or furniture.
■ Do not cover the exhaust air opening. Leave approx. 1 m of free space around the exhaust air opening.

Connections on the dryer

Connections for an exhaust air duct are located:

■ on the back panel

Note: If there is a high level of condensation in the exhaust air duct, it is advisable to fix a condensation collector (standard) or a drain hole with a diameter of approximately 3 mm to the lowest part of the exhaust air duct.

Exhaust air duct

All standard products can be used for the exhaust air duct:

• flexible pipes
  ■ galvanised metal ducts or pipes
  ■ connectors, adapters and diverters for flat duct systems and pipe systems
  ■ wall boxes for evaporation into the open air or into a ventilation shaft
  ■ adapters on rectangular ducts
  ■ rectangular ducts or plastic pipes
  ■ back pressure flap

Note: The material must be heat resistant up to 80 °C and moisture resistant.

Pressure losses

Note: The type and length of the exhaust air duct, particularly elbows or bends with small radii, can impede the air flow. Keep diameter reductions and pressure losses (resistance) to a minimum.

The following must be avoided:

■ long exhaust air ducts
■ exhaust air ducts with small diameters

■ exhaust air ducts with many bends and elbows.

Pressure losses through friction

Duct or pipe friction resistance, i.e. friction on the inside of the exhaust air duct, affects the air flow as follows:

■ the smoother the internal wall
■ the larger the diameter of the internal wall
■ the shorter the pipe

the lower the friction resistance.

Pressure losses due to fixtures

The exhaust air encounters further resistance through fixtures built into the pipe, e.g. diverters (bends, elbows, angles), wall boxes with grids or backpressure flaps.

Installation for pipe connection

■ inside diameter = 100 mm In order to ensure the minimum required air flow, a certain pressure loss (resistance) must not be exceeded. The permissible total pressure loss in an exhaust air duct must not exceed a certain value. This is calculated as the sum of all individual pressure loss values for the straight pieces and fixtures in the exhaust air duct.

Note: The value for the maximum permissible total pressure loss for an exhaust air duct is 50*.

■ inside diameter > 100 mm If the pipe connection has an inside diameter > 100 mm and total pressure loss greater than 50 ^* , increase the inside diameter of the pipe connection.

* To determine the total pressure loss see table → "Individual pressure loss values" on page 17

Installation option

Notes

• Route the exhaust air duct in such a way that the dryer cannot draw the moist, warm exhaust air back again.
  ■ The outlet for the exhaust air must be designed or positioned in such a way as to prevent any additional backpressure (e.g. from a direct ingress of wind) in the escaping exhaust air, e.g. by using 90°, facing down → Page 19
  ■ The outlet for the exhaust air duct must be no more than 2.5 m higher than the exhaust air opening on the appliance.

Installation options for the exhaust air duct:

■ Through a wall box into the open air

Example: pipe connection - inside diameter = 100 mm, smooth

A = straight piece (1.0 m) 4
B = curved pipe (R = 200 mm) 4
C = straight piece (1.5 m) 6
D = pipe elbow 19
E = telescopic wall box with grid 14

Total pressure loss 47

■ Directly into the open air

Route the exhaust air duct directly into the open air via an exhaust air pipe through an open window.

Example: pipe connection - inside diameter = 100 mm, flexible pipe, corrugated

A = curved pipe (R = 300 mm) 7
B = straight piece (1.5 m) 18
C = curved pipe (R = 100 mm) 10
D = straight piece (0.5 m) 6

Total pressure loss 41

■ Through a wall box into chimneys or ventilation shafts

Notes

• It is not permitted to connect the exhaust air duct to chimneys which are connected to gas or coal-fired ovens/cookers or gas-fired heating systems.
• If the appliance is being connected to a moisture-insulated ventilation shaft the responsible chimney sweep must be informed and the approval of the local building department (building supervision office) or the owner of the building must be obtained.

Caution!

Risk of poisoning

If other appliances are operated in the room where the appliance is installed or in adjoining rooms, e.g. gas-fired heating systems, gas-fired boilers, coal-fired ovens connected to a chimney, or open fireplaces, a vacuum may be created, leading to waste gases being sucked back.

Note: In every case, have safe operation confirmed by the responsible chimney sweep, boiler engineer, ventilation specialist, etc.

Installing more than one dryer

Up to 7 exhaust air dryers can be connected to an intercepting pipe with a smooth internal wall.

Note: The following points must be observed:

It is imperative that there are drain check valves in the interception pipe for every dryer. These valves prevent the moist exhaust air from flowing back into the washing and drying room through dryers which are not in operation.
■ The outlet for the exhaust air must be arranged/routed in such way as to prevent any additional backpressure (e.g. from a direct ingress of wind) on the escaping exhaust air.
In every case, have safe operation confirmed by the responsible ventilation engineer/installer.

When connecting to the interception pipe, avoid the following:

■ mutual interference between dryers
■ discharge of moisture in the washing and drying room
■ higher pressure losses (increase in energy consumption and time)
■ The exhaust air ducts of the individual dryers (DT = R >= 100 mm) should already be extended to the dimension of the interception pipe upstream of the drain check valves.
■ Possible backpressure (e.g. caused by wind ingress) can be minimised by using a 90° bend, facing down.

Optional accessories

■ Washer-dryer stack connection set:

To save space, the dryer can be placed on top of a suitable washing machine of the same width and depth.

The dryer must be secured to the washing machine using this connection set.

Laundry

Preparing the laundry

Warning

Risk of explosion or fire!

Remove any cigarette lighters and matches from pockets.

Caution!

The dryer drum and fabrics may 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 32.

Sorting laundry 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 25.

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.

Buttons

Buttons Explanations and notes
Note: Not all buttons and their functions can be selected in all programs.
Adjust Level ※	If the laundry is too damp after drying, you can finely adjust the dryness levels e.g. Cupboard Dry. The dryness level can be increased with the degree of dryness in three stages, from ※' to ※'.If you have adjusted the dryness level, the setting for all programmes with a selectable dryness level is retained even after the dryer is switched off.Note: The higher the degree of dryness, the longer the programme duration.
Drying Time 🎨	Adjust the programme length for the time programmes. Between 20 minutes and 3 hours, in 10-minute increments.
Finish In ⏻	The programme will end in 1-24 hrs. Set the "Ready in" time in increments of one hour to delay the start of the programme. The required number of hours after the programme ends is displayed in the display panel.

Clean the fluff filter

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

Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle:

1. Open the dryer door and remove all fluff from the door.
2. Remove the fluff filter.

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.
