Important Information
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy-saving and its technical features include
Labelling of fabrics
a refrigeration circuit that uses energy efficiently, in a similar way to a refrigerator.
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensation tank must be cleaned regularly.
Drying at normal temperature.
Drying at low temperature
also select
Low Heat
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filter and condensation tank!
Do not machine dry.
Always observe the safety instructions on page 13!
Fluff filter
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics for example:
– Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
During drying, fluff and hairs from the laundry are trapped in the fluff filter. A blocked fluff filter
may impair the heat exchange process.
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material)
they may crease.
The fluff filter should therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Rinse the filter regularly under running water
Drying tips
Filter in the condensation tank
– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with

for the automatic cleaning process. The filter must be cleaned regularly under running water.
– Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do up any buttons.
Empty the condensation tank before cleaning the filter
Tie belts, apron strings etc. together.
Fabrics
– Do not overdry easy-care laundry
risk of creasing
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint:
– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed

e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent. etc.

Empty all pockets.

remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
Avoid drying fabrics that produce a lot of fluff.
– The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing.
Fine adjustment
Woollens should be refreshed only using the woollens programme.
of the drying result
Page 1/2.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
Do not select the Extra Dry programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers
starch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of
fabric softener according to the manufacturer's instructions.
– Use the Zeitprogramm (Timed 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, thus consuming less energy. Also spin easy-care
laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
"Programme overview"
Page 7.
– Ensure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Do not cover or seal the air inlet.
