The heat pump of your tumble dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit filled with a refrigerant which is free from fluoro-chloro-hydrocarbons. The refrigerant circuit in the heat pump must not be damaged. Warning! When a unit is no longer being used:

Pull the plug out of the socket.

• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.

• Dispose of the door catch. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside and endangering their lives. Installation Transporting the appliance Important! Only tip the appliance on its left side to transport (see illustration), if it cannot be transported in an upright position. Warning! If the appliance was not transported in an upright position, leave it to stand for 12 hours before connecting it to the electricity supply and using it for the first time, so that the oil can flow back to the compressor. Otherwise the compressor could be damaged. Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the ma- chine is positioned close to your washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appli- ance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level sur- face.

• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit lev- el. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. Important!

• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach tem- peratures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.

• When operating the tumble dryer, the room tempera- ture must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appli- ance.

INTENSIVE If the laundry is still damp after a standard drying pro- gramme, you can increase the drying result by using the Intensive function. LONG ANTI-CREASE prolongs the anti-crease phase to 90 mins in total. The laundry remains relaxed and free of creases. BUZZER 49audible confirmation of:

• anti-crease phase start and end

• error TIME after setting the Time programme. You can select a programme duration from 10 mins to 2 hrs in 10-mi- nute steps. DELAY START allows to delay the start of a drying programme from minimum of 30 min. to maximum of 20 hours. Press the Delay Start button repeatedly until the desired delay start is shown on the display Setting child lock The child lock can be set to prevent a programme being accidentally started or a programme in operation being accidentally changed. The child lock function locks all buttons and the programme selector. The child lock can be activated or deactivated by holding down the EX- TRA DELICATE and INTENSIVE buttons simultane- ously for 5 seconds. The icon appears in the display to indicate that the child safety device is activated. Any changes of drying parameters require child lock deactivation. The child lock cannot be deactivated in the last phase of the drying cycle. Changing programme To change a programme which is running, first cancel it by turning the programme selector dial to OFF. Select the new programme and press the START/PAUSE but- ton. The programme can no longer be changed directly once the programme has started. If nevertheless there is an attempt to change the programme on the pro- gramme knob, the programme progress display and the maintenance indicators flash. If an option button (exclud- ing the BUZZER button) is pressed, appears on the display. The drying programme is not however affec- ted by this (laundry protection). Drying cycle complete / removing laundry Once the drying cycle is complete, the display shows the anti-crease icon and flashing as well as warning lamps: FILTER and FULL TANK . If the BUZ- ZER 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 anti-crease phase at the latest to prevent creases from forming.)

2. Before removing the laundry, remove fluff from the

micro-fine filter. It is best to use a damp hand for this purpose. (See “Cleaning and maintenance” chapter.)

Turn the programme selector to off.

Cleaning and maintenance Emptying the water reservoir Empty the water reservoir after every drying cycle. 50Caution! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for preparing foodstuffs. 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. Cleaning fluff filters 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. Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters. Cleaning heat exchanger filters If the warning lamp HEAT EXCHANGER lights, the heat exchanger fluff filters in the base of the appliance must be cleaned

• Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters.

• Clogged filters cause higher energy consumption (dry- ing cycle elongation) and dryer damage.

• A dirty heat pump can only be cleaned up by means of a costly process.

• As necessary, approx. once every 6 months, remove the fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge sup- plied. When doing this, please use rubber gloves. 6 *

• if necessary (approx. once every 6 months) remove the fluff from the heat exchanger using the sponge supplied (put on rubber gloves) 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 lon- ger detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the appliance. Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs. Clean control panel and housing Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the control panel and housing. 51What to do if ... Troubleshooting by yourself Problem
