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 will go out after a few minutes and Start/Pause will flash. 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 will automatically switch itself off.

Laundry

Preparing the 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 36.

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.

Laundry that is unsuitable for tumbledrying 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:

Suitable for tumble drying

Dry at normal temperature

Dry at low temperature

Do not tumble-dry

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 multilayered 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 22

Emptying the condensation container

Condensation will form in the appliance as it dries the laundry.

If there is no drain hose connected to the appliance, the condensation water from the appliance will run into the condensation container. In this case, you will need to empty the condensation container each time the dryer finishes drying the laundry, and also if it becomes full before drying is complete.

1. Pull out the condensation container horizontally

2. Pour out the condensation water.

3. Push the condensation container back into the appliance until you feel it lock into place.

Note: The filter in the condensation 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 buildup, and remove this if necessary. -> "Cleaning the filter in the condensation container" on page 37

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.
