Important Information
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy efficient. Its technical features include a
refrigeration circuit, which uses energy efficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensate container must be cleaned regularly.
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters and without filter in condensate container!
ʑ
Fluff filters
During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. Blocked fluff filters
may impair the heat exchange process.
The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle. Rinse regularly under
running water
a
page 4
.
ʑ
Filter in the condensate container
The filter in the condensate container cleans the condensation. This condensation is required
for the automatic cleaning process. The filter should be cleaned regularly under running
water. Empty the condensate container before cleaning the filter

ʑ
Fabrics
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint:
e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent. etc.
Empty all pockets.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics.
Avoid drying items that produce a lot of fluff.
Woollens should be refreshed only, using the woollens programme.

Always observe the safety instructions on page 13.
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics, for example:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material)
a
these may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Drying tips
– To ensure an even result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. towels).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers. Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc.

programme.
– The drying of starched laundry should be limited.
a
Starch leaves behind a coating that
impairs drying.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of fabric
softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the Timed
programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.
Environmental protection/energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine
a
the higher the spin
speed, the shorter the drying time will be, thus less energy is consumed. Also spin easy-care
laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
