Before first use

If the appliance was not transported in an upright position, leave it to stand

for 12 hours before connecting it to the electricity supply and using it for

the first time, so that the oil can flow back to the compressor. Otherwise

the compressor could be damaged.

In order to remove any residues which may have been produced during production,

wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or carry out a brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with

damp cloths in the machine.

Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

• Sort by fabric type:

– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS (Baumwolle) pogramme group.

– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS (Mischgewebe) pro-

gramme group.

• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

Drying in the tum-

ble dryer possible

in principle

Drying at normal

temperature

Drying at reduced

temperature

Drying in the tum-

ble dryer not pos-

sible

Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the

care label as being suitable for tumble-drying.

This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as

suitable for tumble-drying.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Tex-

tile colours may bleed.

• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may

shrink!

• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOLLE) programme.

Before the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200

rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together which are similar or the same with repect

to material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool

separately.

Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie

loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks,

the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.

If laundry comes out of the machine too damp after a standard drying programme,

you can increase the drying result by using the DRYNESS (TROCKENGRAD) func-

tion. Laundry becomes drier as you move from MIN to MAX.

Press the DRYNESS (TROCKENGRAD) button repeatedly until the desired dry-

ness level (MIN, MED or MAX) is shown in the display. When humidity adjustment

is not foreseen on the related program, bar frame with AUTO text is shown.

If wool or silk comes out of the machine too damp at the end of a WOOL (WOLLE)

or SILK (SEIDE) programme, you can dry it again by restarting the appropriate pro-

gramme, this time with the DRYNESS (TROCKENGRAD) function selected and

dryness level MIN, MED or MAX. In the case of a drying cycle with relatively dry

laundry, the length of the programme cycle displayed at the beginning is corrected

after a while.

Setting the pre-drainage spin speed

If the washing in the washing machine was initially drained prior to the drying cycle,

the dryer can be set according to the spin speed of the initial drainage procedure.

The higher the spin speed was, the shorter the programme length for the drying

cycle.
