In the interest of your safety and to ensure the correct use, before installing and

first using the appliance, read this user manual carefully, including its hints and

warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure

that all people using the appliance are thoroughly familiar with its operation and

safety features. Save these instructions and make sure that they remain with the

appliance if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life will be

properly informed on appliance use and safety.

cal and sensory conditions or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible

please check into the drum before using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp ma-

terial can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

• In order to avoid danger of fires caused by excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry

the following items: Cushions, quilts etc. (these items accumulate heat).

• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical appliances. Chil-

dren should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING!

• Danger of suffocation! The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb inside the drum.

ENVIRONMENT

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be

treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection point

for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is

disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the

environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste

handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,

please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where

you purchased the product.

Environmental information

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic com-

ponents are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging

materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.

The heat pump of your tumble dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit filled with a re-

frigerant which is free from fluoro-chloro-hydrocarbons. The refrigerant circuit in the heat

pump must not be damaged.

WARNING!

When a unit is no longer being used:

• Pull the plug out of the socket.

• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.

• Dispose of the door catch. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside and

endangering their lives.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed

when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically if you:

– Always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;

– Use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;

– Ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;

Environment 5

– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;

– Spin the laundry well before drying.

Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning

speed - lower energy consumption.

INSTALLATION

Transporting the appliance

Only tip the appliance on its left side to transport

(see illustration), if it cannot be transported in an

upright position.

WARNING!

If the appliance was not transported in an upright

position, leave it to stand for 12 hours before connecting it to the electricity supply and

using it for the first time, so that the oil can flow back to the compressor. Otherwise the

compressor could be damaged.

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the appliance is positioned close to your

washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front

ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the appliance.

• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the tumble dryer is in use, it should be

placed on a firm, level surface.

• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the tumble dryer is absolutely level

with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile

carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere

with the operation of the appliance.

• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appli-

ance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high tempera-

tures.

• When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C

and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

• Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door a door with a

hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance in such a way that a full opening of

the tumble dryer is restricted.
