1.2 Before using for the first time

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.

• The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
• Ensure access to the place of disconnection (e.g. socket outlet, wall switch, fuse).
• It is advisable to wipe out the drum with a damp cloth.
• Please follow the precautions in the USING FOR THE FIRST TIME section before operating the newly installed appliance.

1.3 Correct use

• 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 damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
• Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any electrical 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 contact Customer Services.

- Use original spare parts only.

- Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appliance 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 pertinent safety precautions.

Do not use the appliance to dry the following

• Unwashed washing.
• Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable chemicals, detergents 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.
• Fabrics with traces of hair spray, hair gel, nail varnish remover or other similar substances. Danger of gas build-up!
• Washing containing foam rubber or other rubber-like material. Ignition hazard!

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

• Regularly clean the filters.
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
  Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The «cool down» cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

- Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
  Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
  Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies' waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

1.4 Children in the home

- Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.

- 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 appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could get locked inside.

- 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.

- Use the childproof locking facility.

1.5 Note on use

Do not use the pivoting operating panel to lift or move the appliance.

• Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or if the inlet pipes are damaged. Contact Customer Services.
• If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity supply immediately.
• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
• Keep pets away from the appliance.
• To protect your washing, follow the fabric care symbols and the hints and advice in the DRYING TIPS section.
• Do not use a fabric conditioner or other fabric care solutions for the wash. Otherwise pay attention to the manufacturer's information.
• Do not operate the appliance without or with a damaged door filter. Fire hazard from fluff build-up!
  • Take care not to allow fluff to build up around the drier.
• Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme, ensure that there are no foreign objects or pets in the drum.
• During the drying process, the back, drum and inside of the appliance door become hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching these parts.
• Never end the drying programme prematurely. A short cooling phase takes place at the end of the drying programme. Providing you are able to do so, remove the load quickly and spread it out to enable the heat to evaporate.
• The condensate water collected is not suitable for drinking.
• 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.

1.6 Maintenance

Ensure the drum has stopped moving before reaching inside. Do not touch the drum while it is still in motion – risk of serious injury!

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out maintenance work.
• The door filter must be cleaned each time after a drying programme.
• Do not spray the outside or the inside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner.
• Do not sit, lean or rest on the appliance door.
• Do not climb on to the appliance. Danger of tipping!
• Use original spare parts only.

2 Your appliance

2.1 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 programmes 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 occasionally (either by opening the door to the room or a window) between several consecutive drying programmes.

3 Programme overview

3.1 Programme sequence for automatic programmes

The drying programme has 3 phases:

Drying

The washing is tumble dried until it reaches the set level of dryness. The drying programme 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 «Easy care» function has been selected «Crease guard» runs 90 minutes, otherwise 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.

To select the right drying programme, follow the fabric care symbols

on garment labels, e.g.

3.2 Automatic programmes

Programme Symbol Use

Extra dry		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 (ca. 45 °C).
Timed drying		For drying off textiles. Also for drying suitable sleeping bags and quilts, and any individual items of washing.

The stated values for the programme duration and energy apply for the maximum stated capacity with a wash spun at approx. 1000 rpm (corresponds to a residual moisture of approx. 60 %). A higher spinning speed and a smaller load reduce them by about 20–30 %.

6 Care and maintenance

To minimize the risk of fire hazard regularly clean the filters!

6.1 Cleaning intervals

Technical diagram of a portable air conditioner unit with numbered components labeled 1 to 4

Pos. Part Cleaning intervals Cleaning

1	Door filter	each time after a drying programme	remove any fluff
		whenever there is a heavier build-up of deposits	using an abrasive liquid cleaning agent and a sponge, rinse with water and allow to drip dry; use cleaning vinegar to soften hard water
2	Base cassette as	required ** remove any fluff
3	Mesh filter in base	as required ** remove any fluff
		whenever there is a heavier build-up of deposits	using an abrasive liquid cleaning agent and a sponge, rinse with water and allow to drip dry; use cleaning vinegar to soften hard water
4	Filter mat * in base mesh filter	every six months	rinse under running water, then allow to drip dry
	Appliance housing	occasionally clean with damp cloth and wipe dry

* A spare filter mat is included in the service set supplied.
** A coating of fluff can build up more or less quickly depending on the type of wash and the size of load.

6.2 Error message A9

A thick coating of fluff results in a reduced process air flow which can impair the drying process and activate fault message «A9».

Check and, if necessary, clean the following parts in the appliance:

• Door filter
• Base cassette
• Mesh filter in base
• Filter mat in base mesh filter

If the error message still appears after the mesh filter in base and the filter mat have been cleaned, clean the filter mat (in front of the heat pump) carefully using a vacuum cleaner.

6.3 Build-up of fluff

Fluff is made up of fine textile fibres that largely come from the manufacturing process, from wear and tear during use and from items being washed. Fluff is not caused by excessive strain on the washing in the appliance. Even when washing is hung out to dry on a washing line, fluff is shed when the washing is shaken out or ironed.

Fluff sticks to washing when it is wet. The fluff is released during tumble drying and gets trapped in the door filter. This is why there is always a build-up of fluff in the filter – sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the type of washing – after tumble drying.

6.4 Cleaning the door filter

▶Open the appliance door.
▶ Lift the door filter 1 out.
▶Remove any fluff.
▶Hold door mesh filter up to the light to detect deposits. Wash door mesh filter to clean off heavy deposits.

▶Clean with an abrasive liquid cleaning agent (immerse if necessary) and a sponge; use cleaning vinegar to soften hard water.

▶Rinse off under running water and allow to drip dry.

▶Replace the door filter. Ensure it is positioned correctly.

The appliance will not start without the door filter in place.

8.1 Fabric care symbols

To select the right drying programme, follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.

Tumble dry, medium heat Tumble dry, low heat Do not tumble dry

General tips

• For the wash you are recommended not to use fabric conditioners or other fabric care solutions, otherwise comply with the manufacturer's instructions. Tumble drying automatically leaves fabrics soft and fluffy.
• The use of fabric conditioner in the wash can lead over time to the formation of a thin, barely visible film in the drum and on the moisture sensors. This can cause a malfunction resulting in the washing not being dried to the level of dryness required.
• Use tumbler dryer sheets sparingly.
• Protect items of washing from getting damaged.

▶ Fasten duvet and pillow cases, hook and eye fasteners and zips.
▶Fasten cloth belts and apron ties.

- Only put a few items of washing in the drum when drying fabrics that crease easily.

- When drying bulky items (e.g. sleeping bags, duvets, etc.) strictly follow the fabric care symbols.

- Woollen and silk fabrics often carry the «Do not tumble dry» label.

▶For woollen and silk fabrics, follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.

▶Press the button and select the relevant programme.

• For easy-care fabrics (e.g. shirts and cotton mixed fabrics), additionally select the easy care function and put only a few items in the drum.
• Knitted and woven items (e.g. T-shirts) tend to shrink. Additionally select the easy care function.
• Items of clothing with metal fasteners (e.g. overalls) should be tumble dried using the additional timed drying programme. The metal fasteners could cause the washing to be overdried in an automatic programme.

Energy saving tips

• Well-spun washing requires a shorter drying time and saves energy.
  ▶Spin washing well before tumble drying. Tumble drying largely removes creases that come from spinning in the washing machine.
• Dirty fluff mesh filters and filter mats reduce the air flow rate when drying and result in longer drying times and a high energy consumption.
  ▶Fluff mesh filters and filter mats must be cleaned regularly in accordance with the operating instructions.
• The maximum capacity of the relevant programme should be used to its full extent.
• Small, light wash items dry more quickly; different materials can have different drying durations.
  ▶Sort items according to type and size to avoid over-drying of individual items.
