BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME PACKAGING Remove all packaging. Please sort the materials in compliance with local recommendations (see chapter "DISPOSAL"). CLEANING Disconnect the dryer from the power mains and open the door towards you. Clean the dryer drum with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. No program can be started while the door is open.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION DRYER PLACEMENT The dryer can be either free standing or installed onto a washing machine. The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in a very small room, as the drying process may be longer due to limited amount of available air. Free-standing appliance The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing machine. If the friction between the dryer feet and the floor is not sufficient, the dryer may move during operation.
Stacking on top of a washing machine To stack the dryer on top of a washing machine, use the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (A+B), supplied in the cardboard box in the dryer drum. Tipping gurad part B is designed to fit on ASKO washing machines and might be hard or imposible to mount on other brands.
How to stack a dryer onto the washing machine (ASKO): There is a cardboard box in the dryer drum, containing the vacuum feet and the tipping guard. 1 A B The tipping guard consists of two metal parts (A + B). Use two screws to attach the A part to the back of the dryer. 2 Undo the screw on the back side of the washing machine. 3 Use the screw to attach the tipping guard (B part) to the back of the washing machine. 4 Level the washing machine so that it is stable. 1.
CHANGING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION To change the direction of door opening, proceed as follows. 12 1 Open the door fully. 2 Undo the screws and remove the door. 3 Use the screwdriver to remove the door lock cover and undo the screw on the door lock. 4 Push the door lock upwards and remove it. Move it to the other side and push it downwards. 5 Fasten the screw on the door lock. Replace the door lock cover.
Undo the door hinge assembly (left) and the door latch assembly (right), switch their positions, and replace the screws (door hinge assembly to the righthand side, door latch assembly to the left-hand side). 6 Use the screwdriver to remove the plastic part more easily. 7 Undo the door ring and remove it temporarily. Rotate the door glass cover by 90°so that the sign indicating the opening of the door is on the other side.
DRAINING THE CONDENSATE The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. Condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE"). Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be avoided by running the condensate discharge hose found at the back of the appliance directly into a drain. A B 2 Connect the supplied drain hose to the same attachment (A). C Run the condensate drain hose into a drain.
CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS 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). Connection upon delivery TYPE: TDXX.XXXXX Art.No.: XXXXXX/XX XXX V ~ IPX4 XXXX W MODEL: XXXXXX.X Ser.No.
TIPS BEFORE DRYING This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry from drying. LAUNDRY SYMBOLS LAUNDRY SORTING Textile maintenance symbols: Sort the laundry according to: • type, • fabric thickness. For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is made of a similar material. Observe the laundry symbols. Washing Normal 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.
MATERIALS (FABRICS) SUITABLE FOR DRYING IN A TUMBLE DRYER Material is suitable for tumble drying. Clothes dried in a tumble dryer are softer and lighter than air-dried clothes. The dryer does not cause any considerable wear of the fabric. The lint collected in the lint filter consists of dust and fabric fragments collected during the use of the laundry.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE NET FILTER IN THE DOOR 1 Open the filter housing. 2 Pull out the net filter. 3 Gently scrape the filter to remove the lint lining (fibres and threads). 4 Replace the net filter. 5 Close the filter housing. Make sure the net filter is correctly inserted into the filter housing. Clean the net filter after each drying cycle. The dryer may never operate without a net filter or if the net filter is damaged.
EMPTYING THE CONDENSATE TANK After each drying cycle, empty the condensate tank. 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. Pull out the condensate tank from the dryer, then turn it upside down over a washbasin, sink, or any suitably sized vessel. 1 2 Discharge the water through the condensate drain opening.
CLEANING OF WATER CONDENSER Clean the condenser when warning indicate on the display. Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet). During cleaning, some water may be spilled. It is therefore recommended to place an absorbent cloth on the floor. Open the outer cover. 1 Hold the levers on the inside cover and rotate them upwards. Remove the inside cover. 2 3 Rotate the condenser unit lever up.
5 Use a soft damp cloth to clean: – the area in front of the condenser unit where water usually accumulates, – the area behind the water condenser unit (reach deep into the opening all the way to the rear wall), – condenser unit housing, – all gaskets and sealing areas on the condenser unit housing and door. 6 Press on the edge of the filter and pull it out. 7 Rinse the filter under running water; then, dry it. 8 Replace the filter. 9 Replace the condenser unit into the housing.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING CLEANING If you have inadvertently removed the entire net filter housing in the dryer door, replace it in the same position. Opening on the lower side of the door should occasionally be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. If necessary, clean the filter housing and door gasket as well.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE EXTERIOR Wipe the dryer exterior using a soft damp cotton cloth and mild detergent. Do not use any cleaning agents that could damage the dryer (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. Keep the area around the dryer clean and cool. Dust, heat, and humidity will extend the drying time. Always disconnect the dryer from the power mains before cleaning.
ERRORS – WHAT TO DO? Disturbances from the environment (e.g. the power grid) may result in various error reports (see Troubleshooting table). In such case: • 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 unit. • You will be able to solve most of the problems in dryer operation by yourself (see troubleshooting table below). • Repairs may only be carried out by an adequately trained person.
Problem/error Cause What to do? 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 of time, the same points of load-bearing elements or components are under stress for a long time.
INFORMATION before, during, and after the program (depending on the model) Error indication on the display What to do? EN: STEAM TANK IS EMPTY. PLEASE FILL WATER Fill the condensate tank with water. Pour the water through the filter tank of the steam generator in the condensate tank housing. EN: FULL STEAM TANK DETECTION Call a service technician. EN: DOOR IS OPEN. PLEASE CLOSE THE DOOR Close the dryer door.
SERVICING BEFORE CALLING A SERVICE TECHNICIAN 1, 2, 3 See the chapters "TROUBLESHOOTING and "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" and see if you can resolve the problem yourself. When you contact a service centre, please state the model (1), type (2), and serial number (3) of your dryer. Model, type, and serial number are indicated on the rating (type) plate located on the interior side of the dryer door. QR and AUID code are located on the inside of the drying machine door as well.
