Information on laundry

Labelling of fabrics

Follow the manufacturer's care information.

Drying at normal temperature.

Drying at low temperature→ also select Low Heat.

Do not machine dry.

Drying tips

– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.

– Always dry very small items (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry (e.g. hand towel).

– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button-up covers. Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together.

– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry → risk of creasing! Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not dry woolens in the dryer, only use to freshen them up , → Woollens finish Programme (depending on model).

– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while→ the remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.

– The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing→ Fine adjustment of the drying result

– Machine-knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts or jerseys) often shrink the first time they are dried → do not use the  Extra Dry programme.

– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers → starch leaves behind a coating that adversely affects the drying operation.

– Use the correct dosage of fabric softener as per the manufacturer's instructions when washing the laundry to be dried.

– Use the timer programme for small loads → this improves the drying result.

Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine → the higher the spin speed the shorter the drying time will be (consumes less energy), also spin easy-care laundry.

– Put in, but do not exceed, the maximum recommended quantity of laundry → programme overview

– Make sure the room is well-ventilated during drying. – Do not obstruct or seal up the air inlet.

– Keep the air cooler clean → “Care and cleaning”.

Care and cleaning

Dryer housing, control panel, air cooler, moisture sensors

– Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

– Do not use harsh cleaning agents and solvents.

– Remove detergent and cleaning agent residue immediately.

Clean the protective filter 5 - 6 times a year or if Filter flashes after cleaning the fluff filter.

Air cooler / Protective filter

When cleaning, only remove the protective filter. Clean the air cooler behind the protective filter once a year.

– Allow the dryer to cool.

– Residual water may leak out, so place an absorbent towel underneath the maintenance door

1. Unlock the maintenance door.

2. Open the maintenance door fully.

3. Turn both locking levers towards each another.

4. Pull out the protective filter/air cooler.

5. Clean the protective filter/air cooler thoroughly, Allow to drip dry.

7. Re-insert the protective filter/air cooler, with the handle facing down.

8. Turn back both locking levers.

9. Close the maintenance door until the lock clicks into place.

Moisture sensors

The dryer is fitted with stainless steel moisture sensors. The sensors measure the level of moisture in the laundry. After a long period of operation, a fine layer of limescale may form on the sensors.

1. Open the door and clean the moisture sensors with a damp sponge which has a rough surface.

Programme overview

*Dryness levels can be selected individually→ Extra Dry, Cupboard Dry and Iron Dry (depending on the model). Degree of dryness can be finely adjusted; multi-layered textiles require a longer drying time than single-layered items of clothing. Recommendation: Dry separately.

Installation

– Delivery specification: dryer, instructions for installation and use, woollens basket (depending on model).

– Check dryer for transport damage.

– The dryer is very heavy. Do not attempt to lift it on your own.

– Be careful to avoid sharp edges.

– Do not lift the dryer by any of the protruding parts (e.g. the door) as they may break off.

– Do not set up in a room that is susceptible to frost. Freezing water may cause damage.

– If in doubt, have the appliance connected by an expert.

1. Setting up the dryer

– The appliance plug must always be accessible.

– Ensure that the appliance is installed on a clean, level and solid surface.

– Keep the cooling grille at the front of the dryer unobstructed.

– Keep the area around the dryer clean.

– Make the dryer level using the threaded feet and a spirit level. Do not remove the threaded feet under any circumstances.

2. Mains connection see safety instructions

– Connect to an AC earthed socket. If in doubt have the socket checked by an expert.

– The mains voltage and the voltage shown on the rating plate must correspond.

– The connected load and necessary fuse protection are specified on the rating plate.

3. Converting the installed load (Note the fuse protection of the socket.)

The values for the energy label are determined using a circuit breaker/fuse rating of 16 A. If the circuit breaker/fuse rating is changed to 10 A, the drying time and energy consumption will be higher. You can find details on this in the consumption values table.

What to do if

The Start/Stop indicator lamp does not light up.	Mains plug plugged in? Programme selected? Check the socket fuse.
The display panel light and indicator lights (depending on model) go out and the Start/Stop indicator light flashes.	Energy-saving mode is activated → a see the separate Energy saving mode instructions.
The Container and Start/Stop indicator lights are flashing.	Empty the condensate container. If featured, check hose for condensation outlet.
The Filter and Start/Stop indicator lights are flashing.	Clean the fluff filter and/or air cooler under running water
Dryer does not start.	Start/Stop button selected? Door closed? Ambient temperature greater than 5°C? The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 5 °C and 35 °C.
Water is running out.	Align dryer horizontally. Clean air cooler seal.
The door opens by itself.	Push the door closed until you hear it engage.
Creasing.	Laundry load exceeded? Remove articles of clothing immediately after the end of the programme, hang up and pull into shape. Unsuitable programme selected
Laundry is not dried correctly or is still too dampLaundry is not dried correctly or is still too damp.	After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually 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. Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level. This does not increase the temperature. Select a time programme for extended drying of laundry that is still damp. If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry may not be dried correctly. Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. A fine layer of limescale may adversely affect the performance of the sensors and your washing will not dry properly. Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the condensate container is full or because the maximum drying time has been exceeded.
Drying time too long.	Rinse the fluff filters under running water Insufficient supply of air → ensure that air can circulate. Air inlet possibly blocked → Clear inlet . Ambient temperature higher than 35 °C→ ventilate the room. The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 5 °C and 35 °C. Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.
The humidity in the room increases significantly.	Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Power failure.	Remove laundry from the dryer immediately and spread out. This allows the heat to dissipate. Be careful as the door, the drum and the laundry may be hot.
One or more indicator lights for programme status are flashing.	Clean filter and air cooler Check installation conditions Switch off, leave to cool down, switch on again, restart programme.
