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.

•Risk of electric shock! Do not spray down the appliance with jets of water.

• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat ( cool down cycle ) to ensure

that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that items will not be damaged.

• The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

• Ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room to avoid the back flow of gases

into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

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

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

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.
