Dear Customer,

This Quick Start Guide is enclosed with detailed dryer

operating instructions. Before using the appliance carefully

read the Operating Instructions, especially guidelines for safe

use.

Level the appliance before connecting it to a wall socket. Do

not start the dryer before it is properly set up.

Only dry delicate fabrics, synthetics, wool using designated

programs. Only load such fabrics according a table of the

maximum load sizes (see page 2).

The correct tumble dryer operation extends its lifetime

so make sure the drum seal is dry (leave the door ajar after

drying). Do not clean your tumble dryer with harsh or abrasive

detergents.

Before drying1

Spin the laundry in the washing machine before tumble

drying. The high spin speed can reduce the drying time and

save energy.

To make sure the drying results are uniform, sort the

laundry by fabric type and drying programme. Before the

drying close the locks, hooks and buttons, fasten the belts,

etc.

Do not over-dry clothes, as they can easily crease. Do not

dry rubber and elastic materials.

To prevent skin scalding caused by steam or hot appliance

components, only open the door after the drying

programme has been completed. To avoid extended drying

cycles and increased energy consumption, clean the

appliance lters after each use.

Do not dry clothes after dry cleaning.

Select the correct programme to refresh woollen clothing

to make the fabric fresh and uffy.

General Description and Usage Features

The tumble dryer is designed to efficiently dry various types of laundry. Before initial use, it is crucial to level the appliance and read the detailed operating instructions, paying special attention to safety guidelines. The dryer should not be started until it is properly set up.

The appliance offers a range of programs tailored for different fabric types and desired dryness levels. It is recommended to only dry delicate fabrics, synthetics, and wool using their designated programs and to adhere to the maximum load sizes specified in the program table. Proper operation, including keeping the drum seal dry by leaving the door ajar after drying, helps extend the appliance's lifetime. Harsh or abrasive detergents should not be used for cleaning.

Before Drying

To optimize drying results and energy efficiency, laundry should be spun in a washing machine before tumble drying; higher spin speeds reduce drying time and save energy. For uniform drying, laundry should be sorted by fabric type and drying program. Before loading, ensure all locks, hooks, and buttons are closed, and belts are fastened. Over-drying should be avoided as it can cause creasing. Rubber and elastic materials should not be tumble dried. To prevent scalding from steam or hot components, the door should only be opened after the drying program has completed. Regular cleaning of the appliance filters after each use is essential to prevent extended drying cycles and increased energy consumption. Clothes that have been dry cleaned should not be put in the dryer. The appliance also offers specific programs to refresh woollen clothing, making fabrics fresh and fluffy.

Starting a Programme

To start a program, first select the desired drying program using the program selector knob. The Start/Pause indicator will flash, signaling that a program has been selected. Pressing the Start/Pause button initiates the program, and the indicator will illuminate steadily, along with the drying indicator lights. If the door is opened while a program is running, the appliance will switch to standby. To resume, close the door and press the Start/Pause button. It is advised not to keep the door open for an extended period if it needs to be opened during a running program.

Ending a Programme

At the completion of a program, several indicators will light up: Start/Pause, water container full, clean the lint filter, and clean the heat exchanger. A beep will also sound to signal the program's end. Once the program is finished, laundry can be removed, and the appliance can be prepared for the next cycle.

Control Panel and Functions

The control panel features several buttons and indicators:

Programme selector knob: Used to select the desired drying program.
Selectable functions:
- Startzeit (Delay Start button): Allows setting a delayed start for the program.
- Trockengrad (Drying level): Adjusts the desired dryness level.
- Schonen (Delicates): Activates a gentle drying mode for delicate fabrics.
- Knitterschutz (Anti-Crease): Reduces creasing by periodically tumbling laundry after the main drying cycle.
- Start/Pause button: Initiates or pauses the selected program.
- Child Lock (10+11): A combination of the Delicates and Anti-Crease buttons activates this safety feature.
Buzzer Cancel: Mutes the audible signals.

Maintenance Features

The guide highlights the importance of cleaning the lint filter and heat exchanger after each use to maintain efficiency and prevent energy waste. Leaving the door ajar after drying helps keep the drum seal dry, contributing to the appliance's longevity.

For thick and multi-layered fabrics (linens, jeans, denim), the Cotton Extra program or the "Drying level" function is recommended. Actual energy consumption may vary based on load, fabric type, residual moisture, and selected functions.
