Preventing material damage
ATTENTION!
The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if you use the wrong
quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product or cleaning agent.
▶ Follow the dosage recommendations from the manufacturer.
Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the function of the appliance.
▶ Observe the maximum load capacity for each programme and do not exceed it. →
“Programmes”, Page 24 The function of the appliance may be impaired if the
appliance overheats.
▶ Keep the ventilation opening on the appliance clear during operation.
▶ Make sure that the area is adequately ventilated.
Light objects such as hair and fluff may be sucked in from the ventilation
opening on the appliance during operation and impair the function of the
appliance.
▶ Keep the area around the appliance clean during operation.
▶ Keep light objects away from the appliance.
Foam and foam rubber may deform or melt during the drying process.
▶ Do not dry laundry that contains foam or foam rubber. Unsuitable cleaning

Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Operate the appliance in a well-ventilated room and keep the ventilation
opening on the appliance clear.
If air exchange is impeded, this extends the programme duration and increases
energy consumption. Spin the laundry in the washing machine before drying.
Damper laundry extends the programme duration and increases energy
consumption. Observe the programmer’s maximum load capacity. → “Programmes”,
Page 24
If the maximum load is exceeded, this extends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption. After drying, clean the fluff filter → Page 29.
If the fluff filter is dirty, this reduces the air flow in the appliance,
extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption. Regularly
clean the base unit → Page 35.
If the heat exchanger is dirty, this extends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
3.3 Energy saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, it automatically
switches to energy-saving mode. All displays go out and Start Reload flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you use the appliance again.
Installation and connection
4.1 Unpacking the appliance
ATTENTION!
Objects remaining in the drum that are not designed for operation with the
appliance may cause material damage and damage to the appliance.

Consumption values
The programme
Cottons Cupboard Dry
(denoted by the arrow symbol) is suitable for drying cotton laundry with a
normal dampness level, and is the most efficient programme for drying damp
cotton laundry in terms of combined energy consumption.
The consumption values for this programme that are declared on the energy
label refer to a moisture content of the laundry of 60%.
The values given for other programmes are indicative only and were determined
in accordance with the applicable standard EN61121.
The actual values may deviate from the indicated values depending on the type
of fabric, composition of laundry to be dried, residual moisture in the
fabric, set degree of dryness, amount of laundry being loaded, environmental
conditions and the activation of additional functions.
The expected programme duration/”Ready in” time that is shown on the appliance
display when selecting the programme is based on the spin speed in the washing
machine of 1000 rpm when the appliance is delivered.
