Drying tips

Important for all drying cycles:

Preparing to use your dryer

Please read through this instruction manual carefully before using the dryer for the first time.

  1. Open the door.
  2. Place the laundry into the empty drum. ℹ️ Ensure that the drum contains only laundry.
  3. Close the door.
  4. Select a programme using the programme selector.
  5. Set additional functions if required (see page 18).
  6. Press the ▶️ button.

Selecting a timed programme:

  1. Set the programme selector to "20 cool" or "30 warm”.
  2. Press the ▶️ button.

Selecting a programme

Selection

Your dryer has various programmes and additional functions for the best drying results. Our drying cycles are designed to protect your laundry and minimise energy consumption. As a result of the residual heat after drying, your laundry will feel damper than it actually is.

If the degree of laundry drying still does not meet your expectations after it has cooled down, please use the next drying program up or the timer program.

ℹ️ Select the drying programme you require from the table of programmes (from page 16 onwards).

Programme sequence

During the Standard and Short programmes, the dryer uses an electronic sensor system which constantly monitors how wet the laundry is. The drying cycle automatically stops as soon as the level of dryness set has been reached. The indicator lamps (LEDs) display the programme status.

Additional functions

Buzzer button

If the button has been pressed, a buzzer will sound at regular intervals at the end of the programme.

Changing the volume:

? Press and hold the button and the volume will change. Release the button when the required volume is reached; this volume will be saved.

Switching off the buzzer:

? Press the button again, the “?” indicator lamp will go out.

ℹ️ Once the programme has started, the dryer “remembers” the function you have selected until the next time the dryer is started.

Anti-crease button

The anti-crease function reduces creases in the laundry. The drying time is increased. The anti-crease function at the end of the programme continues for two hours.

ℹ️ Once the programme has started, the dryer “remembers” the function you have selected until the next time the dryer is started.

Low heat button

Press this button when drying heat-sensitive fabrics (e.g. acrylic). Observe the fabric care instructions. The temperature is reduced and the drying time increased.

ℹ️ Once the programme has started, the dryer “remembers” the function you have selected until the next time the dryer is started.

End of the programme

Anticrease function

When the “end ?” indicator lamp lights up:

  1. Open the door.
  2. Remove the laundry.

The dryer is equipped with an automatic anti-crease function (end ?). It is effective if the laundry is not removed from the drum immediately. The drum rotates at specific time intervals for 1 hour. The laundry should only then be removed. The laundry remains loose and soft until it is removed.

Switching off

  1. Turn the programme selector to "O" ?.
  2. Clean the filter (see page 21).
  3. Empty the water container (see page 22).

⚠️ Do not drink this water.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the dryer

⚠️ Risk of explosion

There is a risk of explosion from the solvents. Never use solvents for cleaning.

The dryer may be damaged if it is not cleaned correctly. Do not spray the dryer with a water jet. Do not use scouring powder or general-purpose cleaners.

✔️ Clean the housing and control panel with a mild cleaner.

Frost protection / preparation for transport

⚠️ Do not use the dryer when there is a risk of frost.

The dryer should not be used if it is in a room where the temperature may drop below freezing or if it is to be transported:

  1. Empty the water container (see page 22).
  2. Select any programme using the programme selector.
  3. Press the ▶️ button. The condensed water in the dryer is pumped into the container.
  4. Wait five minutes, then empty the container again.
  5. Turn the programme selector to "O" ?.

Cleaning the fluff filter

Bobbling (fluff) occurs as clothes etc. are used. These bobbles come off during the drying cycle and collect in the fluff filter.

The filter must be cleaned after each drying cycle. A clogged filter results in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.

  1. Open the door.
  2. Pull out the filter.
  3. Remove the fluff (by drawing your hand across the filter).
  4. Replace the filter (it can only be inserted one way round).
  5. Close the door.

Cleaning during a cycle

If the "filter ?" indicator lamp comes on and a buzzer sounds while the dryer is on, clean the filter immediately.

  1. Allow the dryer to cool slightly and then clean the filter as described above.
  2. Press the ▶️ button.

ℹ️ Very dirty or blocked filters should be rinsed under warm running water. The filter must be dried thoroughly before being replaced.

Empty the water container

⚠️ Do not drink this water.

Condensation accumulates during drying. This condensation is collected in a container. The container should be emptied after each drying cycle.

If a large amount of washing which has not been thoroughly spun is dried at the same time (more than 5 kg at less than 1200 rpm), it may be necessary to remove some of the washing mid-cycle.

  1. Remove the container, holding it level.
  2. Pour out the condensed water.
  3. Push the container back in until it engages.

Emptying during the cycle

The container may also be emptied during the drying cycle. It is not necessary to switch off the dryer.

If the “water ?” indicator lamp lights up while the dryer is running, the container must be emptied within 90 minutes.

After 90 minutes have passed, the status indicator will display "end ?", but the laundry will not be dry.

  1. Empty the container and then push it back in.
  2. Press the ▶️ button. The programme starts again from the beginning.

Cleaning the condenser unit

The condenser unit should be cleaned three or four times a year, or more often if the dryer is used very frequently.

  1. Residual water may leak out, so place an absorbent towel beneath the maintenance flap.
  2. Open the door.
  3. Press the Maintenance flap button.
  4. Fully fold down the maintenance flap.
  5. Turn both locking levers towards each another (in the direction of the arrows).
  6. Pull out the condenser unit. ⚠️ Take care not to damage the condenser unit. Only use water to clean the condenser unit. Do not use hard or sharp objects.
  7. Clean the condenser unit thoroughly and let all the water drain off.
  8. Push the condenser unit back in, the handle must be at the bottom.
  9. Turn back both locking levers.
  10. Clean fluff and other dirt from the maintenance flap seal.
  11. Press the maintenance flap evenly on the right and left until it engages in place.

ℹ️ The door will only close if the maintenance flap is properly closed.

Changing the bulb for the interior light

You will need a special tool and a new bulb. These are both available from specialist suppliers.

⚠️ Danger of death

Danger of death from electrical voltage. Unplug the dryer before working on it.

  1. Open the door, let the dryer cool down (if necessary). Arrow indicates the position of the bulb.
  2. Undo the light cover bolt in the direction of the arrow. Fold out the light cover through 90°. If the cover is stuck, insert a flat tool (e.g. a screwdriver) into the opening slot and carefully lever it out. ℹ️ The light cover is attached and will not fall off.
  3. Unscrew the bulb in the direction of the arrow.
  4. Screw in the new bulb in the opposite direction to the arrow.
  5. Screw the light cover back on carefully (using moderate force).

⚠️ Do not use a power screwdriver.

⚠️ Do not use appliances with open, faulty or missing light covers.
