⚠️ Packaging materials are not toys.

Processing and reuse saves raw materials and reduces waste volumes.

The packaging can be returned to the retailer or supplier. All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly and reusable. All card is made of 80-100% recycled paper. Wood is not chemically treated. Films are made of polyethylene (PE), banding is made of polypropylene (PP). These materials are pure hydrocarbon compounds and are recyclable.

Disposal of your old machine

⚠️ Worn out machines should be made unusable:

After unplugging the machine or after an electrician has removed the connection, cut through and remove the mains cable. Destroy or remove the door lock so that playing children cannot become locked in and put their lives at risk.

Components from your old machine must not be reused. The old machine contains valuable materials which should be sent for recycling.

Please ensure that your old machine is disposed of properly.

⚠️ Please do not keep your old machine and under no circumstances dispose of it in your normal waste. ⚙ Additional information on the recyc ling of this product can be obtained from your commune, your waste disposal contractor or the shop in which you bought the product.

In this way you can help to ensure environmentally friendly disposal and/or recycling methods.

Safety Information

This machine meets the stringent safety regulations for electronic devices. It is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Please observe the safety instructions in these operating instructions and the appurtenant mounting instructions.

General safety information:

Do not stand on the machine.
⚠ Do not sit, lean or support yourself on the loading door. (danger of tipping!)
⚠️ Under no circumstances spray the machine with water or clean it with a steam cleaner.
⚠️ If the machine is not needed for a longer period of time, disconnect it from the power supply.
⚠️ Touch the power plug with dry hands only. Only pull the plug, do not pull the cable.
⚠️ Repair work may only be executed by qualified and trained personnel and defective components may only be replaced with original spare parts by the original equipment manufacturer.

Inexpert repairs can cause considerable damage and risk to the user. Modifications to the appliance are only admissible after consultation with the manufacturer.

If the mains lead to this device becomes damaged, it must be replaced with a special lead available from the manufacturer or the manufacture's customer service.

Observe before start-up:

Read the enclosed documents carefully before using your dryer. They contain important information on the installation, use and safety of the machine. Keep the documents safe for other users or subsequent owners.
⚠️ Have the machine installed according to the mounting instructions by qualified and trained personnel. Do not connect an appliance which displays visible damage.
⚠️ The lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

Observe when drying:

⚠️ Before loading the machine make sure that there is no foreign body or maybe a trapped animal in the drum.
⚠️ Dry clean laundry in the dryer only.
The tumbler dryer is not to be used if chemicals have been used for cleaning. Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kero sene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
⚠️ Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, water proof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

⚠ Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
A drying procedure should always end with fully completed cooling-off, so that the laundry remains at a temperature that does not damage them. If the drying procedure is ended prematurely without cooling-off, all of the laundry must be removed quickly and spread out so that the heat can be given off. Here one should be aware that the laundry can cause burns upon contact with skin due to its temperature and moisture. Appropriate hand protection is therefore to be worn.
⚠️ Keep pets away from the machine.
⚠️ Only use the machine in the home for drying textiles.
⚠ Do not reach into the rotating drum after the end of the programme.

When transporting your machine:

Take care when transporting the machine! (risk of injury!) Do not lift the machine by the fittings on the front!

How to dry correctly and environmentally friendly

Sorting the laundry

Pay attention to the drying symbols on your fabrics.

Dry at normal temperature.
Dry at low temperature
Do not tumble dry.

Dry textiles only which have been washed in water. To achieve even drying results, sort the laundry by fabric type and desired level of dryness.

Load

• Your dryer will be most environmentally friendly and economical if you fill the machine with the maximum laundry load (see chapter «Programme table»).
• Do not exceed the maximum load, because overfilling affects the drying result and severely creases the laundry.
• Remove as much water as possible from the laundry before drying by spinning in a washing machine or spin dryer. The higher the spin speed, the shorter the drying time and lower the energy consumption.
• You should also spin easy care laundry.

Tips for drying

• Do up all zips, hooks and eyes. Button up duvet covers and pillowcases. Tie together loose belts, apron strings etc.
• Remove easy care laundry from the dryer in a slightly damp state if possible (select target dryness «Slightly drying») and allow to finish drying in the air. Over drying causes creases.
• Laundry which is still too damp after drying a load of widely varying fabrics can be dried further using the programme «Time drying».
• Knitted fabrics, e.g. jersey underwear, can shrink slightly during drying. Do not use the «Extra Dry» programme for these fabrics.
• Dry wool or textiles containing wool with the special programme «Wool Finish» only: risk of felting!
• If one single piece is to be dried in the dryer, it will be dried more evenly by adding additional pieces as ballast, e.g. two terry towels.

Do not dry the following fabrics in the machine:

● Wringing wet laundry: waste of energy!
- Do not dry laundry in the machine which was treated with inflammable solvents, e.g. with stain remover or spirit vinegar (explosion hazard!).
- Do not dry textiles in the dryer which contain any foam rubber or have been in contact / covered with setting lotion, nail polish remover or similar agents (fire hazard!).

Cleaning the filters

When fabrics are used, the fibres are rubbed (laundry fluff), which are released when the fabrics are dried, collecting in the filter in the door opening. The inner, fine filter (A) must therefore be cleaned after each drying process.

Illustration of hands holding a device with arrows indicating upward and downward movement (no text or symbols)

▶ Rub your hand over the filter and remove the fluff.

It may happen that a supposedly proper cleaned filter becomes impermeable, due to a fine, invisible coat remaining in the filter meshes.

▶ Hold the filter with one flat surface up wards and pour a little water on to it. If it is impermeable, clean the filter with a brush under running water.
- If the coat cannot be brushed away, a commercial descaler spray must be used to dissolve it.
Spray the descaler on the entire filter surface and leave it to take effect. In case of stubborn coats place one layer of kitchen roll onto the filter surface and spray descaler on it to ensure the filter is moist. Leave the descalerto take effect overnight. Then clean the filter under running water with a fine brush.

Cleaning the filter B / Clean weekly

The outer coarse filter (B) must only be removed and cleaned once a week.

⚠️ Condensed water is no drinking water!

The condensed water formed during drying is collected in a container, which must be emptied after each drying cycle.

1. Pull out the container carefully.
2. Pour out the condensed water (When the water is poured out, the blue filter is rinsed by the outgoing water).
3. Reinsert the container until it locks in place.

Switching off the machine

▶ Close the door.
▶ Switch the machine off at the wall.

- If there is not wall switch, the display field will automatically go out, and the dryer will switch to standby mode (only if the standby function is switched on).

Cleaning and Care

If the display shows the message «COND. WATER FULL», the blue filter may be blocked. Clean the blue filter thoroughly to remove any existing blocking:

1. Pull blue filter upwards.
2. Wash it under running water.
3. Reinsert filter.

Cleaning the filter support

From time to time it is necessary to remove fluffs that have accumulated inside the filter support. To do so, use a vacuum cleaner or a cleaning brush.

▶ Pull the filters A and B out of the filter support in the door opening.

▶ Remove any residual fluff.
▶ Replace the two filters properly.
▶ Close the door.

Cleaning the moisture sensor

Diagram of a microwave oven with an arrow pointing to the interior (no text or symbols present)

After longer operation, small deposits (lime, fabric refiner) can form on the front inner side of the drum on both sides of the longish moisture sensors. With moisture controlled programmes, this can result in the desired level of dryness not being reached.

Wipe deposits away with a cloth soaked in vinegar.

Cleaning the machine

⚠ Ensure that the power supply is switched off before any cleaning, care or maintenance work.
⚠️ Under no circumstances spray the machine with water or clean it with a steam cleaner.
Do not use solvents! These substances can damage parts of the machine, produce poisonous vapour and carry the risk of explosion!

Casings and control areas should only be cleaned with soap or a commercially available, solvent-free, non-ab rasive cleaning product.

Emptying for frost protection or transport

If the machine is in a room susceptible to frost or is to be transported, it must be completely emptied.

1. Select any drying programme.
2. Press the start button. Any condensed water remaining in the machine will then be pumped into the condensed water container.
3. Stop the programme after around 5 minutes using the fast forward button.
4. Empty the condensed water container.

Basic Settings

The machine has basic settings from the factory. It can be adapted to the user's individual needs either when first used or later using the following functions.

The basic settings can only be changed if no dry programme is running. To change a basic setting, it is first necessary to hold the programme button pressed and then press the fast forward button. The corresponding function is shown on the digital display.

Troubleshooting

Repairs, alterations or intervention on electronic equipment should only be carried out by qualified specialists. Inexpert repairs can cause considerable damage and risk to the user.

Only original spare parts should be used for repairs.

Rectifying minor faults yourself

The machine does not start after pressing a programme button:

▶ Check whether the mains power is switched on at the wall and the plug is in.
▶ Check whether all the fuses are intact or the safety switch has tripped.

The display is dark:

▶ The machine is in standby mode. No error. To operate the machine press any button.

The machine does not start:

▶ The start button has not been pressed.

▶ Start time preselect has been set. Only starts at the preselected start time.

The machine cannot be switched on, display remains dark even after pressing a button:

▶ Check whether the mains power is switched on at the wall and the plug is in.
▶ Check whether all the fuses are intact or the safety switch has tripped.
▶ Mains blockage, generally at noon. Operate the machine after the mains blockage has ended.

The drying target was not achieved:

When warm, laundry feels more moist than it actually is! Remove the laundry from the dryer and let it cool. When still moist:

▶ Clean filter (see chapter «Starting the programme»).
▶ Increase degree of drying (see chapter «Basic settings»).
▶ Clean moisture sensor (see chapter «Cleaning and Care»).

The individual laundry piece does not reach the set drying target:

▶ If one single piece is to be dried in the dryer, it will be dried more evenly by adding additional pieces as ballast, e.g. two terry towels.

The drying takes too long:

▶ Clean filter (see chapter «Starting the programme»).
▶ Power failure (note lock times of EW).

The laundry is not dry after the maximum possible settings:

▶ Drum is overloaded (see chapter «Programme table»).
▶ Laundry not sufficiently spun.
▶ Insufficient room ventilation (open a window or door).
The filter is blocked with fluff or scale deposits (see chapter «Starting the programme»).

The machine makes a short loud noise :

Towards the middle and the end of a drying programme, the heat exchanger is cleaned. The lifting magnet, triggering the cleaning process, is clearly audible. This is no error, but quite normal. During cleaning the message «Cleaning in progress» is displayed.
As long as this message is displayed, you must not pull out the condensed water container!

Drum lighting does not work:

▶ Faulty light bulb. For safety reasons, the lamp should only be replaced by customer services or a specialist.

Dampness in the room increases significantly:

▶ The room does not have sufficient ventilation. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Door does not open:

▶ If no power is available to open the door, you can open the door manually by pressing next to the door lock.
