Empty the condensate drawer immediately. Pull it out (using both hands), pour the water into a basin, and slide it back in. Press Start/Pause to resume the cycle.

How often should I clean the lint filter and bottom filter?

Clean the lint filter after every use. Clean the bottom filter after every five cycles or if the drying time extends. Both can be cleaned under running water and must be thoroughly dried before reinserting.

What does the anti-crease feature do?

After the cycle ends, the anti-crease feature tumbles the laundry periodically for up to 120 minutes (default 30 min) to prevent wrinkles. You can adjust the duration via the anti-crease button.

My laundry is not drying properly. What could be wrong?

Possible causes: clogged filters (lint, bottom, heat exchanger), full condensate drawer, obstructed ventilation, or selecting an inappropriate program. Check and clean filters, empty drawer, ensure grilles are clear, and try a higher drying intensity or longer time.

Is it safe to dry wool items?

Yes, the Wool cycle is approved by The Woolmark Company for machine-washable wool. Always follow the care label instructions and do not overload (max 1 kg).

How do I activate the child lock?

While a cycle is running, press and hold the anti-crease and buzzer buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The child lock indicator appears. Repeat to deactivate.

Can I use an extension cord?

How do I clean the heat exchanger?

Disconnect the power, remove the bottom filter, then use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently clean the heat exchanger (do not touch with bare hands). Clean every 2 months.

Tips for drying

Preparation

Before being dried in the dryer, laundry items must be thoroughly spin-dried in a washing machine. The high spin speed can reduce the drying duration and energy consumption.

For an even drying result, the laundry must be sorted according to fabric type and drying cycle.

Items such as zips, hook-and-eye closures, buttons and belts found on clothing must be closed before the drying process.

Sorting laundry

The drying instructions of the textile manufacturer/the international care symbols on the labels contain precise information about how to handle each piece of laundry.

- Sort the laundry according to the instructions on the respective labels.

Special materials

• Do not dry any items with rubber or other elastic rubber-like materials.
• Thick or multi-layer laundry items (bedclothes, jackets etc.) are difficult to dry. For such items, you should use the “Cotton Extra-Dry” cycle or adjust the drying duration and intensity accordingly.
• Outdoor jackets made of modern synthetic materials must be treated with special care. Before drying such a jacket in the dryer, find out the appropriate dryer settings from its manufacturer.

Additional tips

• Do not dry your clothes excessively, as creases can form easily on overdried clothes.
• If you notice that some of the clothes are still damp after drying, try to dry them separately the next time using another cycle.

The correct quantity

The amount of clothes you can put in the drum depends on the type of clothes you are drying.

NOTICE

Risk of damage to property!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in damage.

If a trolley is used to move the appliance, the appliance must be lifted as shown on the packaging. If the appliance cannot be transported upright, ensure that it is not tilted more than 30°.
■ Exercise caution when moving the appliance. Do not lift or pull the appliance by any of its protruding parts. The dryer door must not be used as a carrying handle.
■ Note that the appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.

- Check whether the paths of transport and the installation location are suitable for the weight of the appliance. If in doubt, ask your landlord or property management.

Setting up the appliance

• Install the appliance in a frost-proof location. Ideally, the appliance should be installed next to your washing machine.
  • Install the appliance in a place where there is a siphon or a sink for connecting the drain hose.
• Set up the appliance so that the mains plug is easily accessible even after the appliance has been set up.
• Set up the appliance on a firm, flat, clean, and dry surface. Do not set up the appliance on sloping, flexible and uneven ground.
• Position the appliance so that air can circulate freely in its immediate vicinity.
• Position the appliance so that the ventilation grilles at the front and rear of the appliance are unobstructed.
• Do not remove the feet.
• The dryer should not be placed on a carpet or carpeted flooring, otherwise the appliance may overheat due to insufficient ventilation. The floor clearance must not be restricted by objects such as carpets and wood strips.

Attaching the water drain hose (optional)

WARNING

Risk of scalding!

The drain water is very hot. If it comes into contact with skin, it can cause scalding.

■ Securely attach the water drain hose to a drain or bath to prevent it from slipping due to the recoil caused by pumping.
■ When connecting to a drain, ensure that the cross section of the discharge pipe is large enough that the drain does not overflow.

NOTICE

Risk of damage to property! Improper handling of the appliance can lead to property damage.

■ Use only the included water drain hose.
■ Do not extend the water drain hose or replace it with another hose.
■ Do not kink or twist the water drain hose.
■ Make sure that the utility sink is no higher than 90 cm above the floor. This is the only way to ensure proper functioning of the water drainage.
■ Make sure that the distance between the water drain hose and the utility sink does not exceed 100 cm.
■ Make sure that the end of the hose is not submerged in the water that has been pumped out.

If you connect the water drain hose (19), condensate from the appliance will be drained off directly through the hose and will no longer end up in the condensate drawer (9).

It may happen that the “Condensate drawer full” indicator may illuminate even if the water drain hose is connected. In this case, ensure that the water drain hose is installed correctly (not kinked and not more than 120 cm).

Waste prevention, free return and disposal

Waste prevention

According to the provisions of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures always take priority over waste management.

In the case of electrical and electronic equipment, waste prevention measures include, in particular, prolonging the life of the equipment by repairing defective articles and selling used ones in good working order instead of dispatching them for disposal.

Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.

Further particulars are available as part of the Waste Prevention Programme of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal Länder.

Free return of old electrical appliances

Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance of the same type with essentially the same function, consumers may return an old electrical appliance to a distributor obliged to take back old appliances, at no extra cost for the consumers. This option also exists for deliveries made to a private household. For distance selling, the option of having old electrical equipment collected for free applies only in the case of purchase of new electrical equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers), screens and display devices with a screen surface > 100 cm ^2 , and large devices with at least one of its external dimensions measuring more than 50 cm.

In addition, consumers may return up to three old electrical appliances of the same type to a distributor's collection point for free, without having to purchase a new electrical appliance. In this case, however, the old appliances' external dimensions may not exceed 25 cm.

Disposal

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

Every consumer is therefore required by law to dispose of old elec-

trical appliances at an authorised collection or return point. They will thus be made available for environmentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.

Don't forget to erase data!

If necessary, each consumer is responsible for erasing personal data from electrical and electronic equipment.

Single-use and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs

If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not encased by an old electrical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that can be removed from an old electrical appliance without being destroyed, must be removed and disposed of separately before you return the appliance.

This symbol means that single-use and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other household waste.

Consumers are required by law to bring all single-use and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point operated by their communal authority

or borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.

Single-use and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.

Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.

There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the terminals of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.

Single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not built into the device should be removed before disposal and then disposed of separately.

Please only dispose of single-use and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!

If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.
