Instructions for use

1Safety

Before first starting up

•Note the ”Installation and connection instruc-

tions”

•Before first starting up, check the machine for any

damage incurred during transport. Never connect

up a damaged machine. If parts are damaged,

contact your supplier.

Intended use

•The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in

domestic applications.

•Conversions or modifications to the dryer are not

permitted.

•The laundry must not contain flammable solvents

(benzene, alcohol, stain remover, etc.) . Risk of fire

and/or explosion! Laundry which has come into

contact with such substances must be rinsed thor-

oughly by hand before drying.

•When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use those

products which are declared as suitable for the

dryer by the manufacturer.

•Do not place items of laundry in the dryer which

contain foam rubber or materials similar to rubber.

Risk of fire!

•Do not place heavily worn laundry items in the dry-

er. Risk of fire!

•Do not place laundry items with loose fillings (e.g.

cushions) in the dryer. Risk of fire!

•Parts with rigid components (e.g. door mats) may

cover the air slots. Risk of fire! Do not place such

items in the dryer.

•Do not overfill the dryer. Risk of fire! Observe max.

loading volume of 6 kg.

•Ensure that explosive objects (e.g. cigarette light-

ers, spray cans, etc.) do not enter the dryer with

the laundry. Risk of fire and/or explosion!

•Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or

soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a

fire hazard and should not be placed in the tumble

dryer.

•If you have washed your laundry with stain remover

you must execute an extra rinse cycle before load-

ing your tumble dryer.

•Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after

each drying cycle.

•Do not use the machine if there are no lint filters or

if these are damaged. Risk of fire!

•Clean the fluff filter in the base of the appliance

regularly.

•With stacked washer and dryer: Do not place ob-

jects on the dryer. These may fall off during opera-

tion.

•The covering bonnet of the bulb for the drum light

must be screwed down tightly.

Child safety

•Keep packaging away from children. Risk of suffo-

cation!

•Children can often not see the dangers associated

with electric machines. Never leave unsupervised

children near the dryer.

•Ensure that children and small animals cannot

climb into the dryer’s drum. Risk of death! Keep

the dryer door shut whenever it is not being used.

General safety

•Only specialists may undertake repairs on the dry-

er.

•Never start up the dryer if the mains cable is dam-

aged or if the operating screen, operating plate or

base area are damaged so that the inside of the

machine is open and accessible.

•Switch off the dryer before all cleaning, care or

maintenance work. Also disconnect the mains plug

from the socket or – with permanent connections –

switch off the LS switch in the fuse box and/or fully

unscrew the screwed-in fuse.

•Disconnect the machine from the power supply

during long pauses in operations.

•When removing from the socket, never pull the

mains plug by the cable, instead take a hold of the

plug.

•Manifold plugs, couplings and extension cables

must not be used. Risk of fire from overheating!

•Do not spray down the dryer with jets of water.

Risk of electric shock!

•Do not lean on the open door. The machine may tip

over.

•Once the drying cycle has been interrupted, the

laundry and drum may be hot. Risk of burns! Take

care when removing the laundry.

Disposal

2Packaging material

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.

2Old appliance

The symbol Won the product or on its pack-

aging indicates that this product may not be

treated as household waste. Instead it shall be

handed over to the applicable collection point

for the recycling of electrical and electronic

equipment. By ensuring this product is dis-

posed of correctly, you will help prevent po-

tential negative consequences for the

environment and human health, which could

otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste

handling of this product. For more detailed in-

formation about recycling of this product,

please contact your local city office, your

household waste disposal service or the shop

where you purchased the product.

In the heat pump of your dryer there is a closed re-

frigerant cycle using the CFC-free refrigerant R134a.

The refrigerant cycle in the heat pump must not be

damaged.

1Warning! Remove mains plug from socket

when you have no further use for the machine.

Cut off mains cable and dispose of together

with plug.

Destroy loading door lock. Children cannot

then lock themselves in the machine and put

their lives at risk.

2Environmental tips

•In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fab-

ric softeners are not therefore needed when wash-

ing.

•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 pro-

gramme overview;

–ensure you have good ventilation in the installa-

tion room;

–clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after

each drying cycle;

–spin the laundry well before drying. Example:

Consumption data – depending on spinning

speed – for 6kg of laundry, dried using the COT-

TONS STORAGE DRY (BAUMWOLLE

SCHRANKTROCKEN) programme.

Before the first drying cycle

1If the appliance was not transported in an up-

right position, leave it to stand for 12 hours be-

fore connecting it to the electricity supply and

using it for the first time, so that the oil can

flow back to the compressor. Otherwise the

compressor could be damaged.

1. In order to remove any residue which may have

been produced during production, wipe the dryer

drum with a damp cloth or undertake a brief drying

cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths.

Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

•Sort by fabric type:

–Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS

(BAUMWOLLE) programme group.

–Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY

CARES (MISCHGEWEBE) programme group.

•Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

•Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with

light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may

bleed.

•Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA

DRY (EXTRA TROCKEN) programme. Items may

become stuck!

•Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the

WOOL (WOLLE) programme. Before the drying cy-

cle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible

(max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together

which are similar or the same with respect to mate-

rial, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry

items made of wool separately.

Preparing laundry

•To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips,

button up coverings and tie loose bands or ribbons

(e.g. of aprons).

•Empty pockets. Remove metallic 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.
