2 Environmental tips • In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing. • Your dryer will function most economically if you: – always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed; – use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview; – ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room; – clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle; – spin the laundry well before drying.

Before the first drying cycle 1 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. 1. 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.
Drying Switching machine on / switching light on Turn the programme selector to any programme or turn it to LIGHT (VERLICHTING). The machine has been switched on. When the loading door is opened, the drum is illuminated. Opening loading door / loading laundry 1. Open loading door: Use force to push against the loading door (push point 2. Load your laundry (do not force it in). ) 1 Caution! Do not jam laundry in between the loading door and rubber seal. 3. Close loading door securely.
Selecting additional functions INTENSITY (RESTVOCHT) For precise setting of the residual moisture content of the laundry, the degrees of dryness +, ++ or +++ can be set in addition to most programmes. Laundry becomes drier from + to +++. 1. Press the INTENSITY (RESTVOCHT) button repeatedly until the light for the residual moisture required is lit.
Setting time delay 3 3 3 With the DELAY TIMER (STARTTIJDKEUZE) button, you can delay the start of a programme by between 30 minutes (30' and a maximum of 23 hours (23h). 1. Select the programme 2. Press the DELAY TIMER (STARTTIJDKEUZE) button as many times as necessary until the required start delay appears on the multi display, e.g. 12h if the programme is to be started in 12 hours. The DELAY TIMER (STARTTIJDKEUZE) display is illuminated.
Putting in extra items or taking items out before end of programme 1. Open loading door 1 Warning! Laundry and drum can become hot. Risk of burns! 2. Load or remove laundry items. 3. Close loading securely. Lock must audibly lock. 4. Press the START/PAUSE (START/PAUZE) button to continue the drying cycle. Drying cycle complete / removing laundry 3 16 Once the drying cycle is complete, the END (EINDE) and CREASE GUARD (ANTI-KREUK) indicators light up.
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 condensate tank 1 Empty condensate tank after every drying cycle. If the condensate tank is full, an active programme will break off automatically and the EMPTY WATER (RESERVOIR) display will light up. In order to continue the programme, the condensate tank must first be emptied. Warning! The condensate is not suitable for drinking or for preparing foodstuffs. 1.
Cleaning the fluff filter If the indicator CLEAN BASE FILTER (REINIG SOKKELFILTER) lights up, the fluff filter and the filter mat in the base of the appliance must be cleaned. 3 1 To protect the heat pump from dirt, the dryer is fitted with a special filter mat, which is located in the filter housing. Here too large amounts of fluff build up over time, which affect the function of the appliance. Important • Operating when the fluff filter is clogged with fluff can damage the dryer.
6. To clean the filter mat: Remove filter mat from filter housing. To do this, press the pressure points on the sides and pull the filter mat and frame up and out of the housing. 7. Take the filter mat out of the frame and wash it by hand or use a vacuum cleaner, when it is has dried out. Fluff, which has become stuck in the filter mat and has not been removed by washing, does not affect the function. 8. Insert the filter mat in the frame and then insert with the frame into the filter housing.
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.
