* Weight of dry laundry
ɘBefore using the tumble dryer for
the first time, ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected.
It is essential to read the operating
instructions.
1. Notes on correct laundry care
ɘ Remove foreign objects like detergent dispensing
devices from the laundry. They can melt and damage the
dryer and the laundry.
ĺ Sort the laundry according to the type of fibre and
weave, size, garment care label symbol and the drying
level required.
ĺ Disentangle the laundry.
ĺ Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and
linings are intact.
ĺ Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small
items from being rolled up inside them.
ĺ Fasten hooks and eyes.
ĺ Tie together textile belts and apron ties.
ĺ Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.
Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum recom-
mended loads given in the "Programme
chart".
ɘNever overload the drum. Overload-
ing can cause unnecessary wear and tear
to the laundry, give a disappointing drying
result and cause more creasing.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer to dry them; spin them first
in the washing machine at the maximum
spin speed.
– Minimum iron fabric tends to crease
more, the larger the load. This is particu-
larly the case for garments made from
very fine weave fabric, such as shirts or
blouses.
You cannot change to another programme
once a programme has started (this pre-
vents unintentional alterations).
If the programme selector has been
moved, remains lit up until the original
programme is reset.
You will need to cancel the current pro-
gramme before you can select a new one.
Cancelling a programme while it
is running and selecting a new
programme
ĺ Turn the programme selector to Finish.
The items will be cooled down, depend-
ing on the temperature reached and how
long they have been dried for.
The programme is not finished until lights
up.
ĺ Press the button to switch the dryer
off.
ĺ Press the button to switch the dryer
on.
ĺ Select and start a new programme
straight away.
Adding or removing laundry after a
programme has started
ɘRestart the programme immediately
after adding or removing items. Otherwise,
remove all items and spread them out to
cool down completely.
ĺ Press the Door button.
ĺ Open the door.
ɘDanger of burning: Do not touch the
back of the drum when adding or remov-
ing items. The drum and the items can get
very hot.
ĺ Add or remove items.
ĺ Close the door.
ĺ Press the Start button.

Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying times
and high consumption of energy:
– Make sure your laundry is spun at the
maximum spin speed before drying.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
– After every cycle remove the fluff from
the fluff filters in the door and in the
door opening.
– Ensure sufficient room ventilation.
– Check the condenser unit once a year
and clean it if necessary.
