Temporary disconnection of the dryer

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you intend going on vacation or are not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:

1. Turn off the circuit breaker.

2. Pull out the power supply plug if possible.

3. Clean the lint filter.

Using the program selector to choose a drying program

NOTICE: If the Child lock is activated, you must deactivate it before you can select a program. → Child lock; Page 37

Use the program selector to select the desired drying program. The dial turns in both directions and when a cycle is selected its time duration appears in the display

Program selection

For optimum drying results your dryer offers several different types of programs to choose from.

Select the required drying program from the program table according to the examples.

→ Program selection table; Page 35

Automatic programs

There are automatic programs for different types of textiles (e.g. Cotton, Permanent Press).

The program sequence of automatic programs is controlled by sensors. The duration of the program depends on the measured degree of moisture in the laundry and on the selected degree of dryness (e.g. Extra Dry).

Special programs

The programs Anti Shrink, Hand Wash/Wool, Bulky/ Large Items, Quick 40, SuperQuick 15 and Jeans are made for special type fabric loads.

Time programs

Time programs run at specific temperatures and are suitable for delicate items, individual or a few small items and subsequent drying.

Selecting optional program settings

By selecting optional program settings, you can adjust the drying process to better suit the items you are drying.

The optional program settings can be selected and deselected depending if the setting is allowed (not all settings are allowed for all programs) and the cycle’s progress.

The indicator lamps of the buttons light up if the setting is active.

For Time Dry , Finish in, Wrinkle Block and Low Heat the settings are not retained after the appliance is switched off.

For Dryness Level the setting is retained for each program separately after the appliance is switched off (for fabric care this setting is not retained for the Cotton program).

For Level Adjust the setting is retained for each program separately after the appliance is switched off.

Loading the laundry

1. Check lint filter.

The filter should be cleaned after or before every drying process. Cleaning the filter reduces the drying time and saves energy.

Recommended Load Size

Recommended maximum load size can be found in the program selection table in this manual.

→ Program selection table; Page 35

Load the laundry

Place laundry in the empty drum. Put each piece of laundry into machine separately.

Cleaning the lint filter area

Over time, lint from the drying process collects in the lint filter area.

This lint can be easily removed using a vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning the lint filter

A dirty filter extends the drying time and increases energy consumption.

The filter must be dried thoroughly before being placed back into dryer.

6. Close the filter and re-insert it.

7. Close the door.

Cleaning the heat exchanger

The heat exchanger requires periodic cleaning (recommended once per month under normal drying conditions). The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount and type loads being dried.

To clean the heat exchanger:

1. If the dryer is hot, run on Air Fluff program to allow the dryer to cool down.

2. Residual water may escape, place an absorbent cloth under the maintenance flap.

3. Unlock the maintenance flap and open it completely.

Cleaning the moisture sensors

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 textile care products. Such residues must be removed regularly as the sensor function and in consequence the drying result may be impaired.

To clean the moisture sensors:

1. Open the door.

2. The deposit on the sensors can easily be removed by wiping the sensors (the two bars next to the lint filter) with a cloth and a little white vinegar.

NOTICE: Use white vinegar only!
