Energy-saving tips
■ Spin the laundry before drying.
The drier the laundry, the shorter
the drying time will be, thus
consuming less energy.
■ Load the dryer with the maximum
load.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programs, as this
prolongs the drying time
and increases energy consumption.
■ Ventilate the room and keep the air
inlet on the dryer free to ensure air
exchange.
■ Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle. If the fluff filter is dirty,
the drying time is prolonged
and energy consumption is
increased.
■ Energy saving mode: If the dryer is
not operated for a prolonged period,
it automatically switches off before
the program starts and when
the program has ended to save
energy. The display panel
and indicator lamps go off after
a few minutes and the Start button
flashes. To activate the lighting,
press any button, open or close
the dryer door or turn the program
selector.

garments.
■ Some detergents and care products,
e.g. starch or softeners, contain
particles which may be deposited on
the moisture sensor. This may impair
the sensor function and in
consequence 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 34.
Sorting washing according to:
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature
` Dry at low temperature
b Do not tumble-dry
Note: Do not load laundry from the
washing machine directly into the
tumble dryer. Sort the spun laundry
before placing it in the dryer drum.
If you dry thin, thick and multi-layer
fabrics together, they will dry to differing
degrees. To achieve an even drying
result, you should therefore only dry
together laundry of the same type of
fabric and structure. If you feel that the
laundry is still too damp, you can select
a timed programme for subsequent
drying ~ Page 23.
Caution!
Possibility of material damage to the
dryer or laundry.
Do not tumble-dry the following
fabrics:
■ Laundry contaminated with oil.
■ Unwashed fabrics.
■ Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-
coated).
■ Easily damaged fabrics such as silk,
synthetic curtains.

Clean the fluff filter
Note: During drying, fluff and hair from
the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. If
the fluff filter is blocked or dirty, this
reduces the flow of air, which prevents
the dryer from achieving its maximum
performance. Clean fluff filters also
reduce energy consumption and the
drying time.
Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle:
1. Open the dryer door and remove all
fluff from the door.
2. Pull out the two-part fluff filter.
3. Remove the fluff from the recess in
the fluff filter.
Note: Ensure that no fluff falls into
the open shaft.
4. Pull apart the two-part fluff filter.
5. Open both filters and remove all the
fluff.
6. Rinse away the fluff under warm,
running water.
7. Dry the fluff filter, close it and reinsert
the two-part fluff filter.
Caution!
The dryer may be damaged.
Do not operate the dryer without a fluff
filter or if the fluff filter is defective.

Noises en
33
> Noises
Noises
Note: During drying, particularly in the
initial phase, operation of the appliance
results in noise from the compressor
and pump. This is perfectly normal and
does not impair proper functioning of
the appliance.
From time to time, the compressor in
the dryer generates a humming noise.
However, the volume may vary
depending on the programme and
progress of the drying process.
Every now and then, the compressor is
ventilated. This creates a whirring noise.
The automatic cleaning of the dryer
causes a clicking sound.
The condensation is pumped into
the condensate container by a pump.
This generates pumping noises.

sprays, stain removers). Do not use
high-pressure cleaners or steam jet
cleaners to clean your appliance.
Cleaning the moisture sensor
Note: The dryer is equipped with a
stainless-steel moisture sensor. The
moisture sensor measures how damp
the laundry is.
After long periods of usage the moisture
sensor may become covered by a fine
layer of limescale or residues of
detergents and care products. Such
residues must be removed regularly as
the sensor function and in consequence
the drying result may be impaired.
Open the door and clean the moisture
sensor with a coarse sponge.

Laundry is not dried cor-
rectly or is still too damp.
■ After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it actu-
ally is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
■ Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not
increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier ~ Page 25.
■ Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the dryness level.
