ENVIRONMENT

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not

be treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection

point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is

disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the

environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate

waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this

product, please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the

shop where you purchased the product.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore nee-

ded when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically if you:

– Always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;

– Use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;

– Ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;

– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;

– Spin the laundry well before drying.

Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine. Higher spin-

ning speed - lower energy consumption.

Environmental information

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic com-

ponents are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging

materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.

DAILY USE

Sorting laundry

• Sort by fabric type:

– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS (BAUMWOLLE) programme group.

– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS (MISCHGEWEBE) pro-

gramme group.

• Sort by care label: The care labels mean:

Drying in the tumble dryer possible in principle

Drying at normal temperature

Drying at reduced temperature

Drying in the tumble dryer not possible

Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as

being suitable for tumble-drying.

This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable for

tumble-drying.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile

colours may bleed.

• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!

• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOLLE) programme. Before

the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry

woollen textiles together of similar or the same material, colour and weight. Please

dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately.

Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose

ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the

cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.

Do not overload the appliance. Observe max. loading volume of 8 kg.

Care and cleaning

11. Push against the large mesh filter until

it locks into the interlock.

If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large

mesh filter will not snap into place and the

loading door cannot be closed.

Cleaning the door seal

Clean the door seal with a moist cloth immediately after the drying cycle is completed.

Emptying the water reservoir

Empty the water reservoir after every drying cycle.

If the water reservoir is full, an active programme will break off automatically and the

empty container

icon on the display will light up. In order to continue the pro-

gramme, the water reservoir must first be emptied.

WARNING!

The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for preparing foodstuffs.

1. Take out water reservoir completely.

2. Pour condensed water out into a basin

or similar receptacle.

3. Refit water reservoir.

If the programme has been interrupted

as a result of the water reservoir being

full: Press the START PAUSE button to

continue the drying cycle.

The water reservoir has a volume of approx.

4.5 litres. This is sufficient for around 8 kg of

laundry which has previously been spun at 1000 revolutions/ minute.

The condensed water can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. However first

filter the condensed water (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any residue and small

pieces of fluff.

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the heat exchanger icon is displayed, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.

CAUTION!

Operating when the heat exchanger is blocked with fluff can damage the dryer. This also

increases energy consumption.

1. Open door.

2. Open door in plinth. To do this, press the

release button on the bottom of the

door aperture and open the door in the

plinth to the left.

3. Clean fluff from the inside of the door

and the heat exchanger front chamber.

Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth.

4. Turn both lock washers inwards.

5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchang-

er out of the base and carry it horizon-

tally to prevent any remaining water

from spilling.

6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold verti-

cally over a washing-up bowl.

CAUTION!

Do not use sharp objects to clean. The heat

exchanger could develop leaks.

7. Clean heat exchanger.

It is best to use a brush or to rinse thoroughly with a hand-held shower.

8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn both lock washers outwards until

they snap into place).

9. Close door in plinth.

CAUTION!

Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.
