Before loading the dryer  
– The fine cotton fabric or down filled  
items tends to shrink.  
Clean the drum interior before the  
first use.  
– Dry pure linen items only if it is  
advised on the fabric care label. The  
surface of the fabric otherwise tends  
to become "rough".  
Fabric care labels  
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and  
underwear) tend to shrink when  
washed and dried for the first time.  
Do not over-dry these fabrics.  
Before drying, check fabric care labels  
for special drying instructions.  
q = Drying with a normal temperature  
r = Drying with a low temperature  
s = Do not dry in a tumble dryer  
– Permanent press and delicate  
fabrics tend to crease more the  
bigger the load size.  
Drying tips  
For better drying results reduce the  
load size or select the "Delicates"  
program.  
– Observe the maximum loads, see the  
"Program Guide".  
– Starched laundry can be dried in the  
tumble dryer. However, the amount  
of starch must be doubled during the  
wash.  
Overloading the dryer will result in  
poor drying results and wrinkling.  
– Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric  
care symbol r with the "Gentle"  
option.  
– Wash new, colored items before  
drying for the first time and do not  
dry with light-colored items. These  
fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic  
parts of the dryer). Colored lint could  
adhere to light-colored items.  
– Do not dry dripping wet items in the  
dryer. Spin the laundry after the wash  
for at least 30 seconds.  
– Open jackets to allow even drying.  
– Wool and wool blends tend to felt  
and shrink. Dry these items in the  
"Woolens" program.

Use  
1. Sort the laundry  
2. Load the laundry  
^ Sort the laundry by desired dryness,  
fabric, size and similar residual  
moisture after spinning to assure  
even drying results.  
,Do not dry items that may melt or  
ignite in the dryer such as plastics or  
rubber. They could melt and  
damage the laundry.  
^ Check hems and seams, so that no  
filling can fall out.  
^ Duvet covers and pillowcases should  
be fastened in order to prevent small

could damage the laundry basket  
and the drum.  
Use the laundry basket to dry or air  
e.g. sneakers.  
The laundry basket is designed in such  
a way that it does not turn with the drum  
and avoids strain on the drying item.  
Drying with the laundry basket is  
only possible with the programs  
"45 min. warm" and "15 min. cold".  
All other programs are not suitable  
since the moisture sensor does not  
recognize a load and cancels the

equipped with a cord having an  
equipment grounding conductor  
and a grounding plug. Only insert  
the plug in an appropriate outlet that  
is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances.  
If the plug does not fit, have a proper  
outlet installed by a qualified  
electrician.  
WARNING – Improper connection of  
the equipment grounding conductor  
can result in a risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician,  
service representative or personnel  
if you are in doubt as to whether the  
appliance is properly grounded.  
Do not modify the plug provided  
with the appliance! If it will not fit the  
outlet, have a proper outlet installed  
by a qualified electrician.

Installation tips  
Determining the position of the  
exhaust connection  
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must  
be provided between the appliance  
and the floor. This airflow gap must  
not be blocked by a toe-kick or thick  
piled carpets.  
The exhaust connection can be left at  
the rear of the dryer (factory standard)  
or moved to the left or right side.  
Changing the position of the exhaust  
connection  
Sufficient venting of the installation  
site, e.g. by opening a window or  
door, is essential for the dryer's  
operation. Otherwise drying times  
and energy usage may increase.  
Do not install the dryer next to a  
refrigerator. The heat emanating  
from the dryer can affect the  
thermostat of the refrigerator,  
causing it to run continuously.  
Room ventilation  
The room air, which is taken in when  
the dryer is in operation, is blown out  
via the exhaust vent. It is important,  
particularly if the room is small, to  
ensure adequate ventilation and air  
supply. Opening a window, for

example, will allow more air to enter the  
room. Otherwise drying times and  
energy consumption may increase.

How to calculate the effective  
duct length  
Note:  
Maximum effective duct lengths:  
4" (100 mm) diameter  
5" (125 mm) diameter  
6" (150 mm) diameter  
66 ft (20 m)  
131 ft (40 m)  
328 ft (100 m)  
The overall duct length will determine  
the duct diameter (see the "Additional  
duct lengths" table). In Canada the  
exhaust duct must be 4" (102 mm) in  
diameter.  
If using flexible metal duct the total  
length must not exceed 7' 10" (2.4 m).  
^ Measure the actual duct length  
needed to go from the dryer’s  
See the "Additional duct lengths"  
table for more information on  
maximum duct lengths and number  
of bends.  
exhaust connection to the vent outlet:  
1. Establish the number of elbows or  
bends necessary, noting the type of  
bend, angle and radius involved  
(see the "Additional duct lengths"  
table).  
Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m)  
require a larger duct diameter.  
Longer ducts may lead to slight  
decreases in dryer efficiency if the  
necessary duct diameter is not  
followed.  
2. Add the additional duct length (as  
derived by using the values  
specified in the "Additional duct  
lengths" table) to the actual duct  
length to get the effective length.

Installation  
Tips about the ductwork  
– Do not assemble the duct with  
screws or other fastening devices  
that extend into the duct and catch  
lint.  
– Check with your local building code  
to determine the maximum allowable  
duct length.  
– The shorter the exhaust ductwork,  
the more efficient the dryer will be.  
Expelled air is slowed down in the  
ducts due to friction against the inner  
walls. The shorter and smoother the  
inner walls are, the less friction that  
will be created.  
– Only use rigid or flexible metal duct  
for exhausting. Non-metallic flexible  
hose should not be used, it is a  
potential fire hazard.  
– Rigid metal or flexible aluminum  
ducting is preferred. Flexible foil  
ducting may move and bounce due  
to the high airflow of the dryer. This  
could lead to a thumping or grinding  
noise.  
– An elbow or bend creates more  
friction than a straight duct. An  
additional duct length factor must be  
added for each elbow or bend (see  
Table). This factor expresses the  
resistance of the bend in terms of a  
straight length of duct.  
– In the United Stated foil-type flexible  
ducts should only be used if  
identified for use by the manufacturer  
as compliant with the Outline for  
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,  
Subject ANSI/UL 2158A.  
The additional length factor is then  
added to the existing duct to give the  
effective duct length.  
In Canada, only flexible metal  
(foil-type) ducts specifically identified  
for use by the manufacturer should  
be used.  
A larger duct diameter helps to  
reduce friction. Therefore the duct  
diameter and length should be  
increased simultaneously.  
– For best drying results avoid extra  
long ducting with too many bends,  
angles or tight corners.
