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.

Preparing the laundry
:Warning
Risk of explosion or fire!
Remove any cigarette lighters
and matches from pockets.
Caution!
The dryer drum and fabrics may be
damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets
and take note of the following
information:
■ Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc.
together or use a laundry bag.
■ Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do
up any buttons.
■ To ensure a consistent drying result,
sort the laundry by fabric type
and drying programme.
■ Remove any metal objects, such as
paper clips, from pockets.
■ Knitted fabrics, such as T-shirts
and jerseys, often shrink slightly
the first time they are tumble-dried.
Use a gentle programme.
■ Do not over-dry easy-care laundry.
This increases creasing of
the laundry.
■ When washing laundry that is to be
tumble-dried afterwards, use
the correct amount of fabric softener
as specified in the manufacturer's
instructions.
Sorting washing according to:
c Suitable for tumble drying
a Dry at normal temperature
` Dry at low temperature
b Do not tumble-dry
If you dry thin- and thick-layered fabrics
and fabrics with several layers together,
these will dry to differing degrees.
To achieve an even drying result, you
should therefore only dry laundry of
the same type of fabric and structure
together. If you feel that the laundry is
still too damp afterwards, you can select
a time programme for subsequent
drying ~ Page 13.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the dryer
or laundry.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics, such
as rubber-coated laundry.

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
Note: During drying, the compressor
and the pump generate noises which
are entirely normal.
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 using
a pump. This generates pumping
noises.

■ Childproof lock activated? Deactivate the childproof lock.
■ "Ready in" time selected? Programme starts after a delay ~ Page 14.
Creasing. ■ Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected
the wrong programme for the type of fabric. All the required information
can be found in the programme table ~ Page 13.
■ Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing may occur if they are
left in the drum.
Water is leaking out. Not a fault; the dryer may be positioned on an incline. Level the dryer.
Laundry is not dried cor-
rectly 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 ~ Page 14.
■ Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level.
This does not increase the temperature.
■ Select a timed programme for subsequent drying of laundry that is still
damp ~ Page 13.
■ If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry
may not be dried properly.
■ 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 ~ Page 23.
■ Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the conden-
sate container is full or because the maximum drying time has been
exceeded.
Note: See also the laundry tips ~ Page 12.

Note: If you cannot rectify the fault yourself by turning the dryer off and on, please
contact our after-sales service.
Drying time too long? ■ The fluff filter may be dirty and cause a longer drying time. Clean the fluff
filter.
■ If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
■ If the ambient temperature is higher than 35 °C, this may extend the drying
time.
■ Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time.
Ventilate the room.
Display panel goes off
and Start button flashes.
Not a fault. Energy saving mode is active ~ Page 7.
Residual water in the
condensate container
despite the dryer being
connected to the con-
densation drain*.
Not a fault. If the condensation drain is installed, residual water remains in
the condensate container due to the dryer's self-cleaning function.
Humidity in the room
increases.
Not a fault. Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Power cut. The drying programme is interrupted. Remove the laundry and spread it out,
or restart the programme.
Unusual noises when
drying.
Not a fault. Noises are produced by the automatic cleaning of the heat
exchanger ~ Page 22.
The dryer feels cold
despite drying.
Not a fault. The dryer can dry efficiently at low temperatures using a heat pump.

dryer is operated with electricity.
■ Check the dryer for visible damage.
You must not operate the dryer if it is
damaged.
■ Before connecting the dryer to the
power supply, ensure that the
electric voltage specified on the
rating plate matches the voltage of
your socket.
■ Only use residual current circuit
breakers with the following
symbol: z.
■ Ensure that the mains cable is not
kinked or trapped, and that it does
not come into contact with heat
sources or sharp edges.
:Warning
Children could lock themselves in
the dryer, putting their lives at risk!

:Warning
Risk of fire/risk of poisoning/risk of
material damage and damage to
the appliance!
The dryer contains refrigerant which,
although it is environmentally friendly, is
flammable R290.
■ Make sure that the air inlet on the
dryer is always kept clear and that
the room has sufficient ventilation.
■ In the event of a leak, any escaping
refrigerant could lead to poisoning
and create a combustible air/gas
mixture if the room is too small.
Only operate this appliance in rooms
which are sufficiently large. The
room must have a capacity of 1 m³
per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of
refrigerant in your appliance can be
found on the back of the appliance.
■ Do not place the dryer near open
fires and ignition sources.
Caution!
Risk of injury
■ As the dryer is heavy, you could
injure yourself by trying to lift it.
Do not lift the dryer on your own.
■ You could cut your hands on the
sharp edges of the dryer. Do not
hold the dryer by the sharp edges.
■ Protruding parts on the dryer may
break off when it is lifted or pushed.
Do not move the dryer by holding
onto protruding parts.
Caution!
Risk of material damage to the dryer or
fabrics
■ Check the dryer for damage caused
during transportation. Never operate
a dryer if it is damaged.
■ Any residual water in the dryer may
freeze and damage the dryer. Do not
install the dryer in rooms that are at
risk of frost.
During installation, ensure that:
■ The dryer is placed on a clean, level
and firm surface,
■ The mains plug can be accessed at

Changing the condensation
drain
Notes
■ The condensation from the dryer can
either be discharged into
the condensate container or drained
off via a connection to the waste-
water system. The factory setting is
for the condensation from the dryer
to be discharged into
the condensate container.
■ If the condensation drain is installed,
residual water remains in
the condensate container because
of the dryer's self-cleaning function.
Change the condensation drain as
follows:
1. Remove the accessory from
the dryer drum.
2. Delivery status of the dryer. The hose
for discharging the condensation
into the condensate container is
secured to the connecting piece.
3. Disconnect the hose from
the connecting piece and move it
into the "parked" position.
4. Remove the drain hose from
the accessory and secure it to the
empty connecting piece.
5. Depending on how you connect
the hose (A, B or C), secure the
drain hose with the remaining
accessories on the other side.
Caution!
Blocked water can be drawn back
into the dryer and may cause
material damage.
Check that the water drains away
from the wash basin quickly.
The drain must not be sealed or
blocked.
Caution!
Material damage due to leaks or
draining water.
Secure the drain hose so that it
cannot slip out. Do not kink the drain
hose. Observe the height difference
between the installation surface and
the drain of max. 100 cm, and 80
cm for a drain in a siphon.
