the Instructions for use.

care symbols
Do not tumble dry
Suitable for tumble drying

Suitable for tumble drying
Sort laundry by:
Material thickness: whenever there is greater load than the dryer can handle,
separate laundry according to weight (e.g. dry towels and thin underwear separately).
Type of material: cotton (linen); synthetic textiles (easy care).
Degree of drying: cupboard dry, iron dry etc.
Do not tumble dry: nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic
decorations.
Preparing laundry
Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty.
Please ensure that there are no cigarette lighters in the laundry.
Turn laundry inside out.
Loading dryer
Place laundry loosely in the drum to achieve equal drying throughout.
Then close the door.
Selecting programme
Select the drying programme required by turning the programme selector knob (for
information, refer to programme table).
If you do not start the programme soon after having made your choice, the dryer will
switch off after a few minutes.
To switch the dryer on again turn the programme selector knob to “Off” (“0”) and
afterwards to the desired programme.
Selecting options
(if available)
Select the option required by pressing the corresponding button.
The indicator lamp above the relevant button lights up to confirm your selection.
A fast blinking lamp indicates a wrong selection is made (incompatible options).
Press the button again to cancel the option.
Starting dryer
The drying programme is started by pressing the “Start (Pause)” button.
The relevant indicator lamp lights up.
Changing programme selection: If the programme selected is changed during
drying, the dryer stops. The “Start (Pause)” indicator lamp flashes.
To operate the new programme, press the “Start (Pause)” button again.
Interrupting programme: To interrupt a drying cycle, press the “Start (Pause)”
button and open the door. Wait at least 5 minutes, to allow the laundry to cool down,
before you unload the dryer. For your safety the drying cycle stops automatically if
you open the door. To restart, after door opening, close the door and press the “Start
(Pause)” button again.
Warning: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all
items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
Programme end –
unloading dryer
The final part of a drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that
the items reach a lower temperature to avoid wrinkling.
End: Take the laundry out of the dryer. The drying process is complete.
Anticrease: If the laundry is not removed at the end of the drying cycle, an automatic
anti-crease cycle will operate for maximum 15 min (by choosing the option
“Anticrease” this time can be extended up to 12 hours).
The drum rotates to prevent the laundry from creasing.
Switching dryer off
Set the programme selector knob to “Off” (“O”).

brush or your fingertips. Close door filter and push firmly back into place.

completely back into place.
Please note: Only use additives/plastic items specified as dryer safe and rinse items that have been treated with stain remover
thoroughly in plenty of water before drying. Never dry rubber objects or objects stained with vegetable oils in the dryer.

feedback about the energy consumption of
the humidity steared programmes.
A
s soon as you turn the programme selector
to any humidity steared programme, the
“Eco monitor” lamps will indicate the
expected energy consumption.
The three indicators show the degree of
consumption: the less energy your
programme setting is forecasted to consume,
the less indicators will light up.
This depends on the programme, initial
moisture and options selected, and also on
the size of the load.
For that reason, the forecasted degree of
energy consumption may adapt when the
tumble dryer detects the load size.
