the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of
an inadequate earthing system.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution and are

Brief description
Please read the sections on “Warn-
ing and safety” and “Notes on
laundry care”.
Programmes are selected by turning
the programme selector and can be
supplemented by pressing the addi-
tional option buttons.
1Switching the machine on and
loading the laundry
Press the “START” button to begin a
programme.
Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0-
Off” button.
The indicator lights in the sequence dis-
play (on the right hand side of the con-
trol panel) show which stage has been
reached in the programme.
Press the “Door” button to open the
door.
Place the laundry loosely in the drum.
Close the door.
The Sensitive system automatically ad-
justs drying to suit the water quality
and ensure more precise results.
The Novotronic controls measure and
register the conductivity of the water
and compensate for variations to
achieve a uniform residual moisture
level.
2Selecting a programme
Turn the programme selector to the
drying level you require.
3Selecting additional options
The automatic reversing action turns
the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise
to loosen the laundry and prevent
uneven drying, ensuring good results.
Press the buttons to switch addi-
tional options on or off as required.
4Starting the programme
Once the required degree of dryness is
achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool
down.
Press the “START” push button.
At the end of the programme the anti-
crease action period begins. The drum
turns intermittently to reduce the forma-
tion of creases and folds.
Programmable functions can be used
to select or de-select some of the addi-
tional options and introduce further
functions. These combinations can be
stored in the machine’s memory and
called up.

Notes on laundry care
Notes on laundry care
– Pure linen*
Before drying, check the drying sym-
bol on the textile care label.
These items should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the textile care label,
as the surface of the fabric may other-
wise “roughen”.
Significance of symbols:
q = Dry at normal temperature
r = Dry at low temperature
(also push in the “Low temperature”
button if required)
* Linen and down-filled items can, how-
ever, be partially dried using the
“Smoothing” programme.
s = Do not tumble dry
t = Can be tumble dried
Notes:
If no symbol is featured, dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
Some woven and loopknit materials
(eg T-shirts, cotton jersey material)
have a tendency to shrink, depending
on their quality, and this is often made
worse by over-drying. When purchas-
ing woven materials, it is advisable to
take their shrinkage properties into ac-
count.
Cotton and minimum iron items should
be dried in the appropriate programme
(see programme charts).
For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select
"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low
temperature" button.
Starched washing can be dried in the
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of
starch should be used.
Never overload the drum. Always
observe the maximum recom-
mended loads given in the “Pro-
gramme chart”. Overloading can
cause unnecessary wear and tear
to the laundry, give a disappointing
drying result and cause more creas-
ing.
Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton
shirts or blouses tend to crease more,
when larger loads being dried, particu-
lary when the weave of the fabric is
very fine. Reduce the load or use the
Special care “Minimum iron – Hand
iron” programme. If this is unsatisfac-
tory use the “Smoothing” setting, then
hang the garments on a hanger to dry.
The following fabrics should not be
dried in a tumble dryer:
– Woollens and wool blends
These fabrics tend to become matted
and shrink. These fabrics can, however,
be partially dried using the “Woollens
hand care” programme.
New dark-coloured fabrics should be
dried separately from light-coloured
fabrics to avoid colours running.
– Down-filled items*
The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,
depending on the quality.

Hints on saving energy
Make sure there is no washing
detergent dispenser among the
laundry, as this could melt and dam-
age the machine and the laundry.
Make sure that your laundry has been
thoroughly spun at the highest appro-
priate spin speed before drying. Spin-
ning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves
approximately 30% energy and time
compared with 800 rpm.
Load the laundry very loosely into
the drum.
Load the full amount of laundry ac-
cording to the programme chosen
(see “Programme chart”) for the
most economical drying related to
the size of the load. Make sure that
the drum is not over- or underloaded.
Do not overload the drum. Over-
loading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
Close the door.
As far as possible, sort fabrics for:
– the type of fibre or weave
– the degree of drying required
– similar size of items
– the moisture content after
spinning.
This will help towards an even drying
result.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.
1Switching on and loading
Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent
small items from being rolled up in-
side them.
Do up zips and tie fabric belts and
apron strings.
Important: Please check that items
of laundry cannot be trapped by the
door, as this will cause damage to
the fabric.
Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.
Press the “Door” button and open
the door.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff filters
The fluff which is created by the drying
process is collected in the fluff filters in
the door and door opening.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED
Ensure power is not restored to the ap-
pliance while installation work is being
carried out.
Connection should be made via a
fused plug and suitable switched
socket which is easily accessible after
installation. For extra safety it is advis-
able to install a residual current device
(RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA. Do
not connect via an extension lead.
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
If this machine is fitted with a non-re-
wireable plug, the following information
applies:
If the socket outlets are not suitable for
the plug supplied with the product, it
must be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted.
The plug cut from the flexible cord should
be disposed of and on no account be in-
serted into any socket elsewhere in the
house (electric shock hazard).
Important
The wires in the mains lead are col-
oured in accordance with the following
code:
Green/yellow = earth
Blue
Brown
= neutral
= live
The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is
lost, the plug must not be used until a suit-
able replacement is obtained. The colour
of the correct replacement cover is that of
the coloured insert in the base of the plug,
or the colour that is embossed in words on
the base of the plug (as applicable to the
design of plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA ap-
proved to BS 1362 and have the cor-
rect rating. Replacement fuse covers
may be purchased from your local elec-
trical supplier or Service agent.
Where it is necessary to change plugs,
if the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance do not corre-
spond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals of your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and
yellow must be connected to the termi-
nal in the plug which is marked with the
letter E or by the earth symbol z or col-
oured green, or green and yellow.
