Care and cleaning
Heat exchanger
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.
SELF CLEANING appears
rolling in the display panel. Do not pull out the condensate container during the cleaning
process.
Dryer housing, control panel
– Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
– Do not clean with a water jet.
– Remove detergent and cleaning agent residue immediately.
– Some water may collect between the window and the seal during drying. This does not
affect the proper operation of your dryer in any way.
Filter in the condensate container
The filter is cleaned automatically when the condensate 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 condensate 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 condensate container so that it locks into place.
Only operate the dryer with the filter inserted.
Moisture sensors
The dryer is equipped with stainless steel moisture sensors.
Moisture sensors measure the moisture level of the laundry.
After sustained, repeated operation, a fine layer of limescale
may form on the moisture sensors.
1. Open the door.
2. Clean the moisture sensors with a damp sponge which has a rough
surface.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive agents!
Only when switched off!

Installation
– Scope of delivery: dryer, operating and installation instructions, basket for woollens
(depending on the model).
– Check the 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 lift the dryer by protruding parts (e.g. the door) - risk of breakage.
– 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.
Setting up the dryer
– The mains plug must always be accessible.
– Ensure that the appliance is placed on a clean, level
and firm surface.
– Do not obstruct the air inlet on the dryer.
– Keep the area around the dryer clean.
– Level the dryer using the threaded feet
and a spirit level.
Never remove the threaded feet!
For 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.
Frost protection
Preparation
1. Empty the condensate container a page 4,8/12.
2. Select any programme using the programme selector.
3. Press the Start/Pause button a condensation is pumped into the container.
4. Wait several minutes or until the dryer stops, and then empty the condensate container
again.
5 Turn the programme selector to Off.
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 install the dryer behind a door
or sliding door which could prevent or
obstruct the dryer door from opening.
This will prevent children from locking
themselves in and risking their lives.
2.
Do not operate the dryer
if there is a risk of frost.

Normal noises
During drying, the compressor and the pump generate some noise which is entirely normal.
The compressor in the dryer may occasionally generate a humming
noise. The volume and pitch of this may vary
depending on the selected
programmes and the progress of the drying.
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 condensate con-
tainer generates pumping noises.

increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level.
This does not increase the temperature.
Select a time programme for extended drying of laundry that is still damp.
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry
may not be dried correctly.
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. A fine layer of limescale may
adversely affect the performance of the sensors and your washing will not
dry properly.
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the
condensation container is full or because the maximum drying time has
been exceeded.
