• Note the ”Installation and connection instructions”

• Before first starting up, check the machine for any damage incurred

during transport. Never connect up a damaged machine. If parts are

damaged, contact your supplier.

Intended use

• The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in domestic applica-

tions.

• Conversions or modifications to the dryer are not permitted.

• The laundry must not contain flammable solvents (benzene, alcohol,

stain remover, etc.) . Risk of fire and/or explosion! Laundry which has

come into contact with such substances must be rinsed thoroughly by

hand before drying.

• When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use those products which are decla-

red as suitable for the dryer by the manufacturer.

• Do not place items of laundry in the dryer which contain foam rubber

or materials similar to rubber. Risk of fire!

• Do not place heavily worn laundry items in the dryer. Risk of fire!

Risk of fire! Do not place such items in the dryer.

• Do not overfill the dryer. Risk of fire! Observe max. loading volume of

7 kg.

• Ensure that explosive objects (e.g. cigarette lighters, spray cans, etc.) do

not enter the dryer with the laundry. Risk of fire and/or explosion!

• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or

cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in the

tumble dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you must execute

an extra rinse cycle before loading your tumble dryer.

• Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle.

• Do not use the machine if there are no lint filters or if these are dama-

ged. Risk of fire!

• Clean the heat exchanger regularly.

• With stacked washer and dryer: Do not place objects on the dryer. These

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. Example: Consumption data –

depending on spinning speed – for 7kg of laundry, dried using the

COTTONS STORAGE DRY (KATOEN KASTDROOG) programme.

Before the first drying cycle

In order to remove any residue which may have been produced during

production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a

brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths.

Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

• Sort by fabric type:

• Sort by fabric type:

– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme

group.

– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES programme

group.

• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

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

items. Textile colours may bleed.

• Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY programme. Items

may become stuck!

• Do not dry wool in the dryer. May become entangled! After air-drying,

wool may be dried with the WOOL CARE programme.

Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips, button up coverings and

tie loose bands or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paperclips, safety pins etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cottonlined

anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then

dry better.

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower

the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time.

• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in

a towel or spin to remove excess water.

• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry

separately.

• Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished.

• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the

sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin).

• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

• When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend you peri-

odically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

• Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, clea-

ning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.

• Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as

suitable for tumble drying.

• Very delicate articles such as silk.

• Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags.

Cleaning heat exchanger

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 dama-

ge the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.

1. Open loading door

2. Open base door. To do this, press the

release button on the bottom of the

loading opening and open the 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. Turn both lock washers inwards.

5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchan-

ger out of the base and carry it horizon-

tally to prevent any remaining water from

spilling.

6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold

vertically over a washing-up bowl.

Caution! Do not use sharp objects to

clean. The heat exchanger could

develop leaks.

7. Clean heat exchanger.

It is best to use a brush or to rinse

thoroughly with a shower head.

8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into

place (turn both lock washers

outwards until they snap into place).

9. Close base door.

The dryer will not operate if the HEAT EXCHANGER indicator is still lit.

Caution! Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the drum

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.

Clean operating screen and housing

Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to

clean the machine.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.
