   Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic part more easily.

7. Undo the door ring and remove it temporarily.

8. Rotate the door cover by 90°so that the sign indicating the opening of the door is on the other side.

9. Rotate the door ring by 180°, install it onto the door, and fasten it with screws.

10. Install the door to the front and screw the door.

Draining the condensate

The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. The condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”). To simplify and avoid emptying and interruption of the drying cycle due to a full condensate tank, run the condensate discharge tube located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain (see chapter “Settings/ Condensed water”).

1. Remove the small short hose from the attachment (A).
2. Connect the supplied drain hose to the same attachment (A). Run the condensate drain hose into a drain. Tie the hose onto a tap (B) so that it cannot slip during use. The drain hose can also be fed into the washbasin siphon (C) or directly into the floor drain (D). Then, the water is pumped directly into a washbasin, a siphon, or a floor drain.

INFORMATION!

Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not under tension, clamped, or bent.

WARNING!

If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, make sure the hose is securely fastened. This will prevent any water spillage that could result in unexpected damage.

WARNING!

Always use hoses that are supplied with the appliance.

WARNING!

If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return valve must be installed. Return flow into the dryer could damage the appliance and the non-return valve prevents such flow.

Connecting to the power mains

ELECTRIC SHOCK!

After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains.

Connect the appliance to an earthed power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations). If you have a tumble dryer with a 3-phase connection, the connection must be carried out by a qualified and authorized specialist.

The machine is prepared for coin operation. The owner/distributor can find detailed information in the Service manual. Such installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. The coin meter shall be able to short-circuit signal lines for periods of up to 10 minutes. This will allow the user to load the appliance, choose a program, and start the program after inserting the coins.

“Please pay to continue” appears on the display when the machine is started with the main power switch (by pressing on button Start).

Advice before drying

This chapter includes several advice on how to prepare the laundry from drying.

Laundry sorting

Sort the laundry according to:

• type,
• fabric thickness.

For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is made of a similar material.

Clothing

1. Close the buttons, zips, and hook-and-loop fasteners, so that they do not damage the fabric.
2. Turn the pockets inside out.
3. Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose laundry bag. (The special-purpose laundry bag is available as an optional accessory in general stores.)

INFORMATION!

Laundry to be dried in the dryer should be spun at a minimum of 1000 rpm. Higher spinning speeds will save energy and cut drying time.

INFORMATION!

If you decide to dry only one large item, we recommend drying it separately from smaller items of laundry.

Laundry symbols

  this is the sound of the compressor unit. The level of noise depends on the program and the drying stage.

• Whirring sound:
  from time to time, the compressor unit is ventilated.

• Pumping or liquid flowing sound:
  the pump is pumping the condensate into the condensate tank. Clicking sound: clicking noise is caused by automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger (compressor). Rustling water sound: can be heard during automatic cleaning.

• Rattling sound:
  can be heard during drying if laundry has any hard parts (buttons, zippers, etc.)

Cleaning and maintenance

INFORMATION!
Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet).

Cleaning the door net filter in the door
Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet).

1. Lift the net filter cover.

2. By hand or a cloth drag the net filter to remove the lining of fibers and threads.
   NOTE! The door net filter may feel quite loose when cleaning/removing fibers and threads. This is normal because of the large net filter area in combination with high working temperatures inside the tumble dryer.

3. If necessary, clean the net filter housing and door gasket as well.

4. Close the net filter cover.

5. If it is necessary to clean the net filter from the back, unscrew the screw and turn the filter from the locked to the unlocked position. Pull out the entire filter unit clean it thoroughly, and return the filter unit to its original position after cleaning. Turn the filter from the unlocked to the locked position and tighten the screw.

INFORMATION!

Make sure you do not pinch your fingers with the filter cover.

INFORMATION!

Clean the door net filter after each drying cycle.

INFORMATION!

Never operate without a door net filter or if the door net filter is damaged.

Emptying the condensate tank

INFORMATION!

Empty the condensate tank after each drying cycle.

If the condensate tank is overflowing the drying program will be paused automatically. A warning will appear on the display unit that the condensate tank has to be emptied. (Disregard this warning if you fed the condensate discharge hose into a drain, siphon, or sink.)

1. Pull out the condensate tank from the dryer, then turn it upside down over a washbasin, sink, or any suitably sized vessel.

2. Discharge the water through the condensate drain opening. To make draining the tank easier, pull out the nozzle at the condensate drain.
   NOTE! Some water will remain in the condensate tank, after emptying the water.

3. Replace the condensate tank with the dryer housing.

INFORMATION!

Water from the condensate tank is not drinkable. If thoroughly filtered, it can be used for ironing.

WARNING!

Never add chemicals or fragrances into the condensate tank.

INFORMATION!

The condensate tank does not require draining if the drain hose is connected directly to a washbasin or a bathroom floor drain (see chapter ”Installation and connection/Draining the condensate”).

INFORMATION!

Before moving the dryer or before storing it in a non-heated room during the winter, the condensate tank has to be emptied.

Cleaning the heat pump filter

INFORMATION!

Do not touch the inner metal parts of the heat exchanger with bare hands. The danger of injury on sharp parts. Use appropriate protection gloves when cleaning the heat exchanger.

INFORMATION!

Incorrect cleaning of the metal fins of the heat exchanger can permanently damage the tumble dryer. Do not press on the metal fins with hard objects like for example the plastic tube of a vacuum cleaner.

1. During cleaning, some water may be spilled. It is therefore recommended to place an absorbent cloth on the floor. Open the outer cover.

2. Hold the levers on the inside cover and rotate them upwards. Remove the inside cover.

3. Use the handle to pull out the heat pump filter.

4. Pull the foam part of the heat pump filter from the housing. Wash it under running water and dry it before replacing it in the filter housing. The filter may be washed in the washing machine, with the rinse program on low spin speed. Dry the filter before replacing it in the filter housing. INFORMATION! Clean the foam filter at least after every 30 drying cycles or if necessary.

5. Use a soft dry cloth to also clean the heat pump filter housing and net.
   INFORMATION! The lower part of the hosing contains a strainer which shall be cleaned thoroughly.
   INFORMATION! Clean the heat pump filter housing and net after every 30 drying cycles or if necessary. With automatic heat pump net filter cleaning (only available in some models), a few drops of water may drip on the floor after the filter is removed; therefore, lay a cloth on the floor.

6. The dust and dirt in the metal fins of the heat exchanger can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush attachment. Without pressing, gently move the brush attachment only in the direction of the metal fins from top to bottom. Too much pressure can damage or bend the metal fins of the heat exchanger. We recommend you clean the heat exchanger at least every twelve months.

7. Reassemble the foam filter and the filter housing.

8. Reinstall the inside cover and turn attachments to the locked position. Close the outer cover.

INFORMATION!

The heat pump filter has to be correctly placed into its slot. Otherwise, the heat exchanger installed inside the dryer may be clogged.

Cleaning the steam generator tank filter and self-cleaning system

INFORMATION!

Each time you empty the condensate tank, clean the steam generator tank filter and self-cleaning system as well. The filter is located in the tank housing (visible when the condensate tank is removed).

1. Remove the condensate tank
2. Remove the filter from the slot in the condensate tank housing.
3. Clean the filter thoroughly under running water. If necessary, clean the filter slot as well.

INFORMATION!

When pulling out the filter, make sure not to discard the lint and fiber accumulated during operation back inside, as this may clog the system.

INFORMATION!

Replace the filter correctly into the slot (otherwise, the filter will not perform its function, which may result in clogging of the system).

INFORMATION!

The frequency of cleaning the steam generator vessel filter is the same if you run the drain hose for condensed water directly into the drain, siphon, or washbasin.

Cleaning the appliance exterior

Clean the appliance exterior and the display unit using a soft damp cotton cloth and water. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the appliance (please observe the recommendations and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning agents). Wipe all parts of the dryer with a soft cloth until dry.

INFORMATION!

Keep the area around the dryer clean and cool. Dust, heat, and humidity will extend the drying time.

INFORMATION!

Always disconnect the dryer from the power mains before cleaning. In the case of a 3-phase connection of the appliance, switch off the main socket switch.

Errors – what to do?

• Switch off the appliance, wait for 1 minute, switch the appliance back on, and repeat the drying program.
• If the error persists, call an authorized service center.
• You will be able to solve most of the problems in appliance operation by yourself (see the below Troubleshooting table ).
• Repairs may only be carried out by an adequately trained person.
• Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the dryer shall not be covered by the warranty. In such cases, the costs of repair shall be charged to the user.

INFORMATION!

The warranty does not cover the errors or failures resulting from disturbances from the environment (lightning strikes, power grid failures, natural disasters, etc.).

Check whether the main switch is on.

•  The dryer is placed in a closed room; a room that is too cold; or a room that is too small and the air overheats as a result.| •    Make sure there is an adequate supply of fresh air to the dryer; for example, open the door and/or window.

•    Check if the temperature in the room where the dryer is installed is too high or too low.

•    Laundry was not sufficiently wrung or spun.| •    If the load is still wet after the completed drying cycle, an appropriate drying program should be run again (after cleaning filters).
• The amount of laundry dried in the appliance is too large or insufficient.| •    Use a suitable program or extra functions.
•    Laundry (such as bedding) gets tangled into large balls.| •    Close the buttons or zippers on the laundry before drying. Select a suitable program.

•    After the drying process, loosen the laundry and select an additional drying program (e.g. timed drying program).

Unevenly dried laundry.| •    Laundry of varying types and thickness, and excessive amount of laundry.| •    Make sure you have sorted the laundry by type and thickness, whether you have added a suitable amount of laundry to the drum, and whether you have selected a suitable program.
A slight hitting noise appears.| •    If the dryer is out of use for a long period, the same points of load-bearing elements or components are under stress for a long time, causing temporary deformation.| •    The noise will subside without any intervention.
The door opens during drying.| •    Excessive load on the door (too much laundry in the drum).| •    Reduce the amount of laundry. a
