Load your laundry (do not force it in/overload the machine). 1 Caution! Be careful not to trap laundry in between the loading door and rubber seal. 3. Close loading door securely.
AUDIBLE SIGNAL When the drying cycle has finished, an intermittent audible signal will sound. SPECIAL CARE For especially gentle drying of sensitive fabrics with the l care label and for temperature-sensitive textiles (e.g. acrylic, viscose). Programme is executed with reduced heat. SPECIAL CARE is only suitable for use with loads of up to 3kg! SENSITIVE 3 For gentle drying of frequently-worn textiles.

Drying cycle complete / removing laundry 3 16 Once the drying cycle is complete, the END and CREASE GUARD displays light up. If the AUDIBLE SIGNAL button has been pressed, an audible signal sounds intermittently. The drying cycle is automatically followed by a crease guard phase which lasts around 30 minutes. The drum rotates in intervals during this phase. The laundry thereby remains relaxed and free of creases. The laundry can be removed at any time during the crease guard phase.
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning fluff filter 1 To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine filter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after every drying cycle. Caution! Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters. 1. Open loading door 2. Use a damp hand to clean the micro-fine filter, which is built into the lower part of the loading aperture. 3. Push down unlock button on large mesh filter. Large mesh filter jumps up. 4.
3 Clean the entire filter area The strainer area does not have to be cleaned after every drying cycle, but should be checked regularly and cleaned of fluff if necessary. 6. To do this, grip the top of the large mesh filter and pull it forwards until it comes loose from the two brackets. 7. Remove fluff from the entire filter area. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner for this purpose. 8. Press both journals of the large mesh filter into the brackets on the loading door until they snap into place. 9.
Emptying the water reservoir 1 Empty water reservoir after every drying cycle. If the water reservoir is full, an active programme will be interrupted automatically and the EMPTY WATER display will light up. In order to continue the programme, the water reservoir must be emptied. Warning! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for preparing foodstuffs. 1. Take out drawer containing water reservoir completely (1) and pull up the water reservoir’s drainage pipe as far as it will go (2).
Cleaning heat exchanger 1 If the HEAT EXCHANGER display is illuminated, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned. Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger is clogged with lint can damage the dryer. This also increases energy consumption. 1. Open loading door 2. Open base door. To do this, press the release button located beneath the loading aperture and open the base door to the left. 3. Remove lint from the inside of the door and the heat exchange chamber. Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth. 4.
Cleaning the drum 1 3 Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum. Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer. Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.
