Installation
– Scope of delivery: dryer, installation and operating instructions
.
– 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.

.
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 condensation container during the cleaning process.
Dryer housing, control panel, air intake
Remove detergent residues immediately.
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Filter in the condensation container
The filter is cleaned automatically when the condensation 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 condensation 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 condensation 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 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 condensation container generates
pumping noises.
