7 Energy-saving tips
Energy-saving tips
■ Spin the laundry before drying. The
drier the laundry, the shorter the
programme will be, in turn reducing
energy consumption.
■ Load the appliance with the
maximum loads permitted for the
programmes.
Note: If the maximum load is
exceeded, this extends the programme
duration and increases energy
consumption.
■ Operate the appliance in a ventilated
room and make sure that the air inlet
on the appliance is unobstructed so
that air exchange can take place
unhindered.
■ Regularly remove the fluff from the
appliance. If there is fluff in the
appliance, this extends the
programme duration and increases
energy consumption.
■ If you do not perform any actions on
the appliance for an extended period
before the programme starts or once
the programme has ended, the
appliance will automatically switch to
energy-saving mode. The display
and indicator lights go out after a
few minutes and A (Start/Pause)
flashes. To end energy-saving mode,
all you need to do is perform an
action on the appliance, such as
opening and closing the door.
■ If you do not perform any actions on
the appliance for an extended period
when it is in energy-saving mode, the
appliance automatically switches
itself off.
Note: If Wi-Fi is activated, the appliance
will not switch itself off automatically.

Preparing laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosions/fire!
Certain objects may ignite when drying
is in progress, or even cause the
appliance to catch fire or explode.
Remove any lighters or matches from
pockets on items of clothing.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the drum and
laundry
Leaving objects in the pockets of your
clothing can cause damage to the drum
and laundry when the appliance is in
operation. Remove all objects (e.g.
metal items) from clothing pockets.
Prepare the laundry as follows:
■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■ Close zips, hooks, eyelets and
buttons. Button up large items of
laundry, such as covers.
■ Always dry very small items of
laundry, e.g. babies' socks, together
with large items such as towels.
■ Use timed programmes for single
items.
■ Knitted items, such as T-shirts and
jerseys, often shrink slightly the first
time they are tumble-dried. Use a
gentle programme.
■ Do not overdry easy-care laundry.
This leads to increased creasing of
your laundry.
■ Some detergents and care products,
e.g. starch or softeners, contain
particles that may accumulate on the
moisture sensor. This may impair the
sensor's performance and, in turn,
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 55.
Sorting laundry
Note: Load the laundry item by item
into the appliance. For more effective
drying, do not stuff an entire bundle of
laundry into the dryer at once.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the dryer or
laundry
Laundry that is unsuitable for tumble-
drying may damage the appliance and
the laundry when it is dried. Before you
dry it, sort the laundry according to the
information given on the care label:
When sorting the laundry to be dried,
take the following points into account:
■ To achieve an even drying result,
only dry laundry of the same type of
fabric and texture together.
If you dry thin, thick and multi-
layered fabrics together, they will dry
to differing degrees.
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature

■ Remove laundry from the drum as soon as the drying programme
has finished. Creasing occurs when clothing is left in the drum.
Water is leaking out. ■ The appliance may be positioned at an angle. Level the appliance.
■ In the base unit, make sure that:
– The heat exchanger cover is properly locked.
– There is no dirt or debris on the heat exchanger cover's seal.

Laundry is not dried properly or
is still too damp.
■ After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it
actually is. Spread out the laundry and let it cool down.
■ Adjust the drying time or increase the degree of dryness. This will
extend the drying time but the temperature will remain the same.
■ Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is
still damp.
■ Select a timed programme for a small load.
■ Do not exceed the maximum load for a programme.~ Page 26
■ Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become cov-
ered in a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product resi-
due, which then impairs its performance.~ Page 55
■ Drying has been interrupted 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 31
Drying time too long. ■ The appliance may have fluff in it. This will increase the required dry-
ing time.
– Clean the base unit. ~ Page 53
– Run a complete drying cycle with a load weighing more than
3 kg. Make sure the laundry has not been pre-dried.
Note: The appliance's automatic self-cleaning function uses the
condensed water from your laundry. If you regularly dry loads weigh-
ing less than 3 kg or you regularly use the crease-removal function,
there will not be enough condensed water from your laundry to run
the appliance's automatic self-cleaning function. You should there-
fore dry loads weighing more than 3 kg on a regular basis, making
sure that the laundry has not been pre-dried.
■ The heat exchanger may have fluff in it.
– Run the basic appliance care programme. ~ Page 58
■ If the fluff filter is damp, this may increase the drying time and affect
the drying result. Dry the base unit's fluff filter thoroughly after rins-
ing it.~ Page 53
■ If the air inlet on the appliance is blocked or not fully open, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure the air inlet remains unob-
structed.
■ If the ambient temperature is lower than 15 °C or higher than 30 °C,
this may increase the drying time and affect the drying result.
■ If the air circulation in the room is inadequate, this may increase the
drying time. Make sure the room is adequately ventilated.
