Preparing the 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 40.
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:
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature
` Dry at low temperature
b Do not tumble-dry
en Operating the appliance
28
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.
■ Use the fabric descriptions given for
the individual drying programmes to
help you choose the most
appropriate programme.
~ "Overview of programmes"
on page 23
Note: You can select a timed
programme to add extra drying time for
laundry that is still damp.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the
appliance and laundry
Do not tumble-dry the following items or
fabrics in the appliance:
■ Laundry contaminated with solvents,
wax or grease.
■ Unwashed items.
■ Items made from non-breathable
fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
■ Items made from delicate fabrics,
such as silk and curtains made of
synthetic material.

container filters the condensation water,
which is used during the appliance's
automatic cleaning cycle. The filter is
cleaned by emptying out the
condensation water. You should still
check the filter regularly for any build-
up, and remove this if necessary.
~ "Cleaning the filter in the
condensation container" on page 40
en Operating the appliance
32
Removing the fluff
Note: During drying, fluff and hair from
the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. If
the fluff filter is clogged or dirty, this
reduces the flow of air, preventing the
appliance from achieving optimal drying
results. Dirty fluff filters increase the
power consumption and increase the
required drying time.
Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle:
1. Open the door and remove all fluff
from it.
2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.
3. Remove the fluff from the fluff filter
recess. Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Pull the two-part fluff filter apart.
5. Open the two parts of the filter.
6. Remove all fluff from both parts of
the filter.
Appliance settings en

Check the mains plug and the fuses.
Creasing. ■ Load exceeded or incorrect programme selected for a type of fabric. All the
required information can be found in the programme table.~ Page 23
■ Remove laundry from the drum as soon as the drying programme has fin-
ished. 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.
~ Page 41
■ If the optional drain hose* is installed, make sure that the drain hose is cor-
rectly connected. ~ Page 36
Programme duration dis-
played changes as dry-
ing progresses.
Not a fault. The moisture sensor measures the residual moisture in the laundry
and adjusts the programme duration (with the exception of timed programmes).
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 23
■ Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered in
a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product residue, which then
impairs its performance.~ Page 40
■ Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the conden-
sation container is full or because the maximum drying time has been
exceeded.
Note: See also the laundry tips.~ Page 27
The programme will not
start
Make sure that:
■ The door is closed.
■ E 3sec (Child lock) has been deactivated
■ You have pressed A (Start/Pause)
Note: If the programme has been delayed by setting ñ (Ready in), the pro-
gramme will start later.

time.Remove the fluff.~ Page 32
■ The heat exchanger may have fluff in it. Run the basic appliance care pro-
gramme. ~ Page 45
■ If the air inlet on the appliance is blocked or not fully open, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
■ If the ambient temperature is lower than 15 °C or higher than 30 °C, this
may increase the drying time.
■ Inadequate air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Make
sure the room is adequately ventilated.
