Installation
– Scope of delivery: dryer, installation and operating instructions, woollens basket
(depending on model).
– Check dryer for transport damage.
– The dryer is very heavy. Do not attempt to lift it on your own.
– Be careful to avoid sharp edges.
– Do not set up in a room that is susceptible to frost. Freezing water may cause damage.
– If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a specialist.
– Do not lift the dryer by protruding parts (e.g. the door) - risk of breakage.
Setting up the dryer
– The appliance plug must always be accessible.
– Ensure that the appliance is installed on a clean, level
and firm surface.
– Do not obstruct the air inlet on the front of the
dryer.
– Keep the area around the dryer clean.
– Make the dryer level using the threaded feet
and a spirit level.
– Do not remove the threaded feet under any
circumstances.
Mains connection
see Safety instructions
a
page 13.
– Connect to an AC earthed socket. If in doubt have the socket checked by a specialist.
– The mains voltage and the voltage shown on the rating plate (
a
page 10 ) must be the
same.
– The connected load and necessary fuse protection are specified on the rating plate.
Frost protection
Preparation
1. Empty the condensate container
a
page 4 .
2. Select any programme using the programme selector.
3. Press the
Start /Stop button a condensed water is pumped into the container
4. Wait 5 minutes and then empty the condensate container again.
5. Turn the programme selector to
Off .
Transport
– Prepare the dryer
a
see Frost protection.
– Transport the dryer in a vertical upright position.
– Following transportation, do not use the dryer for two hours.
The dryer contains residual water;
this can flow out if the dryer is tilted.
1. Take all accessory parts out
of the drum.
The drum must be empty.
Make sure that the air inlet
remains unobstructed
Clean and level
Do not set up the dryer behind a door or sliding
door, as this may obstruct the dryer door or prevent
it from opening. This will prevent a potentially fatal
danger to children from locking themselves in.
2.
Do not operate the dryer if
there is a danger of frost.

Care and cleaning
Heat exchanger
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying. Cln appears in the display
panel. Do not pull out the condensate container during the cleaning process.
Dryer housing, control panel, air intake
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents or solvents.
Remove detergent and cleaning agent residue immediately.
Some water may collect between the window and the seal during drying. This does not affect
the proper operation of your dryer in any way.
Filter in the condensate container
The filter is cleaned automatically when the condensate container is emptied.
However, the filter should still be cleaned regularly under running water
a
This prevents
stubborn deposits/dirt from building up.
1. Pull out the condensate container.
2. Pull the filter out of its snap-in lock.
3. Clean the filter under running water or in the dishwasher.
4. Refit the filter.
5. Insert the condensate container so that it locks into place.
Only operate the dryer with the filter inserted.
Moisture sensor
The dryer is equipped with stainless steel moisture sensors. Moisture sensors measure
how damp the laundry is. A thin layer of limescale may build up on the moisture sensors
after prolonged use.
1. Open the door.
2. Clean the moisture sensors using a damp sponge with a rough surface.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive materials.
Appliance must be switched off.

Normal noises
During drying, the compressor and the pump generate some noise which is entirely normal .
The compressor in the dryer may occasion-
ally generate a humming noise. The volume
and pitch of this may vary
depending on the selected
programmes and the progress of the
drying.
The compressor in the dryer is ventilated
from time to time, which creates a whirring
sound.
The automatic cleaning process causes a
clicking noise.
The process of pumping the condensation
into the condensate container generates
pumping noises.

What to do if...
If you cannot rectify a fault yourself (e.g. switching off/on), please contact our after-sales service. We will
always find an appropriate solution and will avoid unnecessary visits by engineers. Trust the expertise of
the manufacturer and rest assured that the repair will be carried out by trained service technicians using
original spare parts. The contact details of your local after-sales service can be found in the enclosed after-
sales service directory, or by calling one of these numbers:
–
GB 0344 892 8999 (Calls charged at local or mobile rate.)
– IE 01450 2655 (0.03 € per minute at peak. Off peak 0.0088 € per minute.)

ʠ
Laundry is not dried correctly or is still
too damp. After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it
actually is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but
does not increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the
drying level. This does not increase the temperature.
Select a time programme for extended drying of laundry that is still
damp.
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the
laundry may not be dried correctly.
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. A fine layer of limescale
may adversely affect the performance of the sensors and your
washing will not dry properly.
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the
condensate container is full or because the maximum drying time
has been exceeded.
