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.

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

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;

– 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.

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.
