Before using your machine for the first time

Do not tumble-dry

Certain materials are sensitive to tumble-

drying. Always check and follow an item’s

laundry label. You can read more on page 9,

“Before tumble-drying”.

Note!

When starting the tumble dryer for the first

time or after a long period without use, you

may notice a slight thumping sound. This is

completely normal and will stop after a few

loads.

Safety instructions

General

• Read and keep the Use & Care Guide!

• Electrical installation, if required, should

be carried out by qualified professionals.

• The machine should only be used for

tumble-drying as described in these

instructions.

• Repairs and maintenance relating to

safety or performance must be carried out

by a qualified professional.

• Damaged mains cables must only be

replaced by a qualified professional.

• Sufficient ventilation is required to pre-

vent smoke from open fires or fumes

from equipment burning other fuels being

sucked into the room.

Installation

See the “Installation” chapter.

Safety

The machine must not be used for drying

items that have been dry-cleaned at home

or fabrics that may contain residues of flam-

mable liquids.

The tumble dryer is protected by an over-

heating cut-out. This shuts off the machine

if the temperature gets too high.

A float shuts off the machine in the event

of a blockage in the condensed water hose

or if there is a risk of the condensed water

container overflowing.

Stopping a programme

You can stop a drying programme by:

• opening the door; the drum stops auto-

matically,

• or by pressing the main power switch.

• When you want to resume tumble-drying,

simply close the door and press the Start/

Stop button.

• You can also stop a programme by press-

ing the Start/Stop button for three sec-

onds.

Transport/Winter storage

If you need to move your machine or store it

over the winter in unheated premises, then

make sure you drain the condensed water

container beforehand.

Packing material

Sort waste in accordance with local guide-

lines.

Disposal

When the machine has reached the end of

its service life and is to be disposed of, it

should immediately be made unusable.

Contact your local authority for information

about where your old machine should be

disposed of and recycled in the proper way.

The machine is manufactured and labelled

to facilitate recycling.

Caution

During operation, the back of the tumble

dryer will get very hot. Leave the machine to

cool completely before touching the back.

Child safety

General

Do not allow children to play with the

tumble dryer.

The tumble dryer has a magnetic catch,

allowing the door to be opened from the

inside. The door has a door-switch that auto-

matically stops the tumble dryer when the

door is opened. The tumble dryer does not

start automatically when the door closes

(e.g. if a child closes the door from inside).

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

Has it been spun?

Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at

1000 rpm or faster. Better spinning saves

both energy and drying time.

Laundry labels

Materials that can be tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is suit-

able for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited

to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry

cloth and synthetic fibres. Garments will be

softer and lighter when tumbled than when

hung out to dry.

Note!

Wear to fabrics in the tumble dryer is in-

significant. The fluff that gets caught in the

fluff filter is dust and fibre remnants formed

when the items are used.

Materials that must not be

tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is not

suitable for tumble-drying.

Certain materials may melt or become a fire

hazard if exposed to heat, and others lose

their shape or shrink.

And do not tumble-dry...

• materials labelled “Do not dry near heat”,

• garments that have been dry-cleaned at

home,

• foam plastic,

• fibreglass material,

• wool must not be tumble-dried due to the

risk of felting.

Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying.

Iron Dry

This programme shuts off the heat once

the load is just damp enough for ironing or

pressing.

Timed dry 60 min

The Timed dry programme has a fixed dry-

ing time and tumble-dries the load for 60

minutes.

Air fluff 60 min

Use the Air fluff programme when you just

want to refresh, air or soften up items.

Select options

By selecting options, you can tailor

drying programmes to suit your own

laundry requirements.

The machine remembers which settings

and options you choose for each pro-

gramme and uses these

(with one exception

- Delayed start) the next

time you select the pro-

gramme in question. You

can, of course, change

them again if you wish.

Low temperature

Select or deselect Low Temperature by

pressing the Temperature button.

Once Low Temperature has been selected,

the red field next to the button lights up.

Anti-crease

This option means that the drum will rotate

three seconds per minute for two hours

once the drying programme has finished.

This option prevents the items remaining in

the same position and becoming creased.

A useful feature if you are not able to re-

move the load as soon as tumble-drying

has finished.

A lighted red field by the button indicates

that the Anti-crease option has been acti-

vated.

Below are step-by-step instructions to

help you achieve the best possible tumble-

drying results.

Sort your fabrics

You will achieve the most uniform dry-

ing results if the items are the same

material.

Do up zips and buttons, fasten belts, sort

the items and adjust load and temperature.

Turn on the main power

switch

Open the door, load the items

and then close the door

Select programme

The choice of programme depends

on what you intend to do with the

items after tumbling. The programme

options are Extra Dry, Dry, Normal Dry, Iron

Dry, Timed programme and Airing.

Extra Dry

This programme is for items that are par-

ticularly difficult to dry, e.g. jeans with very

thick seams.

Note!

Knit fabrics in particular are prone to shrink-

age. Use the Dry, Normal Dry or Iron Dry

programmes for such items. Stretch clothes

back into shape immediately after drying.

Dry, Normal Dry

These programmes shut off the heat once

the load is dry without being “bone-dry”.

The Dry programme shuts off the heat

slightly later than Normal Dry. Use trial and

error to find out what works best. Use these

programmes when you want items to be

completely dry.

Tumble-drying

Delayed Start

Select or deselect this option by pressing

the Delayed Start button. The machine will

start the programme 5 hours after you se-

lect this option + the Start/Stop button.

A lighted red field by the button indicates

that the option has been activated. If you

change your mind, press the Start/Stop but-

ton for three seconds. You can now start the

machine as usual

Press the Start button

Drying time remaining

An estimate of the remaining drying time

will be shown in the display within 2 min-

utes of the drying programme starting. For

example, 1:35 means that approximately 1

hour and 35 minutes remain until the load

achieves the selected level of dryness. If

the Anti-crease option has been selected,

the drum will rotate every minute for 2 hours

after cooling.

If you want to stop or change a

programme.

Press and hold the Start/Stop button for 3

seconds. The red field next to the button

goes out.

Note!

The programme is not affected if the pro-

gramme selector is changed after the pro-

gramme starts.

To load or remove washing

If you want to load or remove washing

once you have started the machine, open

the door and the machine will stop auto-

matically. Load more washing, close the

door and press the Start/Stop button.

Drying programme finished

The text in the display indicates

that the programme has finished.

If the Anti-crease option has been

selected, the drum will rotate every minute

for 2 hours after cooling.

Important!

• Clean the fluff filter after each load.

• Drain the condensed water container after

each load.

Caution!

If the fluff filter becomes clogged, the ma-

chine’s automatic overheating cut-out may

be triggered. To enable the machine to be

restarted, the filter must be cleaned and

the machine allowed to cool for around 30

minutes.

Cleaning the fluff filter

1. Grasp the filter handle and pull it towards

you.

2. Pull the filter out of its holder.

3. Open the filter and remove the fluff by

hand.

4. Fold the filter up and re-insert it into its

holder. The filter may need to be cleaned

if limescale deposits occur, see “Care and

cleaning” chapter.
