Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically if you: – always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed; – use the loading volumes specified in the pro- gramme overview; – ensure you have good ventilation in the installa- tion room; – clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle; – spin the laundry well before drying. Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning speed - lower energy consumption. Installation Important! The appliance must be moved in vertical position for transport. Appliance positioning

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

• 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 ap- pliance. 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 surface.

• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. 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 appli- ance. 49Important!

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

• Should the appliance be moved, it must be transpor- ted vertically.

• The appliance must not be installed behind the lock- able door, a sliding door a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance in such a way that a full opening of the dryer is restricted. Removing transport safety packaging Caution! Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed.

1. Open loading door 2. Pull off adhesive strips

from inside machine on top of drum.

3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene padding from the

machine. Electrical connection Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses required should be taken from the type plate. The type plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see “Product description” chapter). Warning! The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precautions. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Center. Warning! The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine. Door reversal To make it easier to load or unload the laundry, the door can be reversed. Warning! The door must only be reversed by an authorised service engineer. Please contact your local Service Force Centre. The en- gineer will carry out the door reversal at your cost. Special accessories

Sorting and preparing laundry Sorting laundry

• Sort by fabric type: – Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS pro- gramme group. – Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYN- THETICS programme group.

• Sort by care label: The care labels mean: Drying in the tumble dryer possible in principle Drying at normal temperature Drying at reduced temperature Drying in the tumble dryer not possible Important! Do not place in the appliance any wet laun- dry which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-drying. This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable for tumble-drying.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light- coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.

• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EX- TRA DRY programme. Items may shrink! Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, but- ton up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better. Important! Do not overload the appliance. Observe max. loading volume.

The child lock can be activated or deactivated by holding down the DELICATE and LONG ANTI-CREASE buttons simul- taneously for 5 seconds. – Before programme is started: Appliance cannot be used – After programme is started: Programme in operation cannot be changed The icon appears in the display to indicate that the child safety device is activated. The child safety device is not deactivated once the pro- gramme comes to an end. If you want to set a new programme, you must first de- activate the child safety device. Starting the programme Press the Start/Pause button. The programme starts. The programme progress is shown by elapsing dry time on the LCD. Changing programme To change a programme which is running, first cancel it by turning the programme selector dial to OFF. Se- lect the new programme and press the START/ PAUSE button. The programme can no longer be changed direct- ly once the programme has started. If nevertheless there is an attempt to change the programme on the programme knob, the programme progress display and the maintenance indicators flash. If an option button (excluding the BUZZER button) is pressed, appears on the display. The drying programme is not however affected 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. 55The drying cycles are automatically followed by an anti-crease phase which lasts around 30 mi- nutes. 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.

• Empty the water reservoir. Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning fluff filters The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying. To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff filters (fine filters and fluff filters) must be cleaned after each drying cycle. Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters.

Clean the door seal Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth immediately after the drying cycle has finished. Emptying the water reservoir Empty the water reservoir after every drying cycle. Caution! 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. 56Cleaning condenser Important!

• Never operate the dryer without condenser.

• Clogged condenser cause higher energy consump- tion (drying cycle elongation) and dryer damage.

• Do not use sharp objects to clean.

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 longer 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. What to do if ... Troubleshooting by yourself Problem
