Do not tumble dry.
Do not tumble dry the following fabrics:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) a
these may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Before drying for the first time
– Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the programme selector to

Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. towels).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry a
risk of creasing.
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed in the dryer a
page 7,
Woollens finish
programme (
depending on model
).
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while a
residual moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried. a
Do not use the
Cupboard Dry extra
programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a
starch leaves behind a coating that reduces the drying effect.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble dried afterwards, use the correct amount of fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine a
higher spin speeds minimise the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it a
Programme overview, page 7
.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying
.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle a

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!

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.
1.
Setting up the dryer
– The mains plug must always be accessible.
– Ensure that the appliance is placed on a clean, level and firm surface.
– Install the exhaust air duct a
Exhaust air duct installation instruction
.
– Keep the area around the dryer clean.
– Level the dryer using the threaded feet and a spirit level.
Never remove the threaded feet!

The drum must be empty.
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.
Clean and level.
2.
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.

Do not tumble dry.
Do not tumble dry the following fabrics:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) a
these may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Before drying for the first time
– Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the programme selector to Timed Programme
( a page 7) and select Start/Pause . At the end of the programme, turn the programme selector to Off .
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. towels).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry a risk of creasing.
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed in the dryer a
page 7,
Woollens finish programme (
depending on model
).
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while a
residual moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried. a Do not use the Cupboard Dry extra programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a starch leaves behind a coating that reduces the drying effect.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble dried afterwards, use the correct amount of fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the timed programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine a higher spin speeds minimise the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it a
Programme overview, page 7
.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying
.
– Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle a

– Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
– Do not clean with a water jet.
– Remove detergent and cleaning agent residue immediately.
Exhaust air duct
a
Exhaust air duct installation instruction
.
Check the exhaust air duct as it may be clogged.
Clean the exhaust air duct at regular intervals, e.g. every six months.
Do not bend the exhaust air duct.
1.
Switch off the dryer and allow it to cool down.
2.
Disconnect the mains plug.
3.
Remove the exhaust air duct.
4.
Clean the exhaust air duct.
5.
Refit the exhaust air duct.
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!
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.
1.
Setting up the dryer
– The mains plug must always be accessible.
– Ensure that the appliance is placed on a clean, level and firm surface.
– Install the exhaust air duct a Exhaust air duct installation instruction .
– Keep the area around the dryer clean.
– Level the dryer using the threaded feet and a spirit level.
Never remove the threaded feet!
Take all accessory parts out of the drum.
The drum must be empty.
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.
Clean and level.
2.
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.
