Important Information
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy-saving and its technical features include
Labelling of fabrics
a refrigeration circuit that uses energy efficiently, in a similar way to a refrigerator.
Follow the manufacturer's care information. The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensate container must be cleaned regularly.
Drying at normal temperature.
Drying at low temperature also select (Low Heat)
Do not machine dry.
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters and without filter in condensate container.
Always observe the safety instructions on page 13!
Fluff filter
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics for example:
– Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
During drying, fluff and hairs from the laundry are trapped in the fluff filter. A blocked fluff filter
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) they may crease.
may impair the heat exchange process.
– Oil-stained laundry.
The fluff filter should therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle.
Drying tips
Rinse the filter regularly under running water
– To ensure a consistent result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
Filter in the condensate container
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with
large items of laundry (e.g. hand towels).
The filter in the condensate container cleans the condensation. This condensation is required
– Close zips, hooks and eyes, and do up any buttons.
for the automatic cleaning process. The filter must be cleaned regularly under running water.
Tie belts, apron strings etc. together.
Empty the condensate container before cleaning the filter
– Do not overdry easy-care laundry risk of creasing
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
Fabrics
– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed page 7
Wool Finish programme (depending on the model).
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint:
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying, fold items up and leave for a while
e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent. etc.
the remaining moisture will then be distributed evenly.
Empty all pockets.
– The drying result depends on the type of water used during washing. Fine adjustment of

the drying result Page 1/2.
Avoid drying fabrics that produce a lot of fluff.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
Do not select the trocken extra/Extra sec (Very Dry) programme. Woollens should be refreshed only using the woollens programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers starch leaves behind a coating that
adversely affects the drying operation.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of fabric
softener according to the manufacturer's instructions.
– Use the Zeitprogramm (Timed programme) for small loads this improves the drying result.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine the higher the spin
speed, the shorter the drying time will be, thus consuming less energy. Also spin easy-care
laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
"Programme overview" Page 7.
– Ensure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Do not cover or seal the air inlet.
