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.

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 jeans 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 36.

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.

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.

* Depending on the model
Laundry is not dried properly 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.Fine tune 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 in a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product residue, which then impairs its performance. This prevents your laundry from being dried properly → Page 36.Drying has stopped 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.
Drying time too long?	The fluff filter may be clogged, which will make the drying time longer.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 increaseInsufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti- late the room.
Display panel goes out and Start button flashes.	Not a fault. Energy-saving mode is active → Page 11.
Residual water in the condensation container despite the dryer being connected to the condensation 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 is increasing.	Not a fault. Make sure the room is adequately ventilated.
Power cut.	The drying programme is stopped. 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 35.
