Notes on disposal
Disposing of packaging
Danger of suffocation
There is a danger of suffocation from the cardboard box and plastic film.
Do not allow children to play with the packaging.
All the packaging materials are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Please dispose of the packaging in an environmentally responsible manner.
Your local dealer or local authority will be able to advise you about the disposal methods which are currently available.
Disposing of the old dryer
Danger
The old dryer is dangerous due to the electrical voltage and the risk of suffocation.
Your old dryer:
- Pull off the mains plug.
- Cut off the mains cable and discard along with the plug.
- Break the door lock. This prevents children from locking themselves in the dryer.
Environmentally-friendly disposal conserves valuable raw materials.
Your local dealer or local authority will be able to advise you about the disposal methods which are currently available.
Using your dryer correctly
- Only for domestic use.
- Only for drying fabrics washed in water.
- Do not leave children unsupervised near the dryer.
Risk of explosion/fire
Solvent danger.
Do not use the dryer if:
- the laundry has been treated with a solvent or has been colour-treated (e.g. stain remover, petroleum ether).
Dust danger
Do not use the dryer if:
- the laundry contains dust, e.g. coal dust or flour
- the laundry contains foam/rubber
- the laundry contains traces of hairspray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.
Before using the dryer
Install the dryer in accordance with the installation instructions (see page 40).
- Do not connect the dryer if it has visible signs of damage. If in doubt, contact your local dealer.
Drying your laundry
- Do not leave children unsupervised near the dryer.
- Keep pets away from the dryer.
- Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters - risk of explosion.
End of programme

Looking after your dryer
- Do not climb onto the dryer.
- Do not lean or sit on the door - the dryer may tip over.
- Do not use detergent boosters containing solvents or dirt and stain removers near the dryer. These substances may damage the dryer.
- Do not lift the dryer by any of the projecting parts - they may break off - risk of injury.
- Empty the dryer completely before transporting it or placing it in storage (see page 29).
i Do not install the dryer in a room where there is a risk of freezing.
Notes on environmental protection/economical drying
Environmentally-friendly and economical drying
- Spin the laundry thoroughly before drying. Spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine before drying. The higher the spin speed, the shorter the drying time and the lower the energy consumption.
You should also spin easy-care laundry.
- Use optimum capacities
- Use the maximum recommended capacities. Do not exceed the capacities
(see the table of programmes from page 16 onwards).
- Ensure good room ventilation Open a window or door while drying laundry.
- Clean the filter. Clean the filter after each drying cycle (see page 30).
- Keep the condenser unit clean (see page 32).
- Do not obstruct the cooling air supply
- Do not block or seal the ventilation grille.
Description of the dryer
Operation and special features
The dryer works on the principle of condensation. The condensation produced during the drying cycle is collected in a container. The container should be emptied after each drying cycle.

Simple to use
The water container does not have a lock on it. Simply turn the container upside down to empty it. A pipe inserted in the outlet prevents water from overflowing.

The door is easily opened and closed by pressing on the press-release mechanism.
The door may also be opened during the drying cycle.

Reversible door catch
The door catch can be moved from the right-hand side to the left-hand side of the dryer (see page 44).

Fabric symbols
Check the following fabric symbols:
~一~ drying at normal temperature.
= drying at a lower temperature: Press the Low heat button too or select (super delicate drying).
空 = do not tumble - dry.
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:
- Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
- Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) - they may crease.
- Dripping-wet laundry - high energy consumption.
- Wool or fabrics containing wool, unless you use the woollens basket (see page 24).
- Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Drying tips
Important for all drying cycles:
- To obtain a uniform drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
- Fasten zips, hooks and eyes. Tie loose belts, apron strings etc, together.
- Do not over-dry easy-care laundry: This may result in creasing. Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
- Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Leave laundry folded up for a short while. This helps the residual moisture to distribute evenly.
- Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jackets) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried. Do not use the "Very dry"/"Extra dry" programmes.
Preparing to use your dryer
Please read through this instruction manual carefully before using the dryer for the first time.
- Open the door.
- Place the laundry into the empty drum.
Ensure that the drum contains only laundry.
- Close the door.
- Select a programme using the programme selector.
- Set additional functions if required (see page 18).
- Press the Start/Stop button.

Remaining time
Once the programme has started, the expected remaining time is displayed. This should be regarded as an estimate.
The accuracy of the display increases if you enter the washing machine's spin speed (see page 22).

Selecting a timed programme:
- Set the programme selector to "cold", "warm" or "drying basket".
- Set the time by pressing the Change button until the time you require appears in the display.
The display returns to "00" after "2:30".

Emptying
The container may also be emptied during the drying cycle. It is not necessary to switch off the dryer.
If the "Empty the water container" indicator lamp lights up and a buzzer sounds while the dryer is running, the container must be emptied within 90 minutes. The buzzer stops automatically after approximately two minutes.
Once the 90 minutes have elapsed, the status indicator displays "Anticreate/End".
- Empty the container and then push it back in.
- Press the Start/Stop button. The programme starts again from the beginning.
