instructions on each item’s laundry label. You can

find more information in the "Advice and tips

before you tumble-dry" chapter.

NOTE!

When starting the tumble dryer for the first time

or after a long period without use, you may notice

a slight thumping noise. This noise is completely

normal and will disappear after a few loads.

Before using your machine for the first time

Read the operating instructions and

keep them in a safe place!

• Electrical installation, if required, should be

carried out by a qualified electrician.

• The machine should only be used for

tumble-drying as described in these

instructions.

• Repairs and maintenance relating to safety or

performance must be carried out by a qualified

professional.

•Damaged mains cables must only be replaced

by a qualified electrician.

• Sufficient ventilation is required to prevent

smoke from open fires or fumes from

equipment burning other fuels being sucked

into the room when the tumble dryer is running.

• Do not dry dirty laundry in the tumble dryer.

• Items that are stained with e.g. cooking oil,

acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain

remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover

should be washed in hot water with extra

detergent before they go in the tumbler dryer.

• Items such as foam rubber, latex, plastic,

waterproof textiles, rubber-coated items and

clothes and foam-rubber filled cushions must

not be dried in the tumbler dryer.

• Fabric softener or similar products should be

used as per the recommendations of the

detergent manufacturer.

• The machine is not designed to be used by

persons (even children) that are physically or

mentally handicapped or lack experience and

knowledge. Such persons must receive

instruction in how to use the machine from the

person responsible for their safety.

• Children must be watched to ensure they do

not play with the machine.

• Do not let lint accumulate near the dryer

• Do not install the dryer behind doors with lock,

sliding doors or next to the doors with hinges

so that opening of the dryer door will never be

hindered.

Safety

•The machine must not be used for drying items

that have been dry-cleaned at home or fabrics

that may contain residues of flammable liquids.

• The tumble dryer is protected by an

overheating cut-out. This shuts off the machine

if the temperature gets too high.

• A float shuts off the machine in the event of a

blockage in the condensed water hose or if

there is a risk of the condensed water container

overflowing.

WARNING!

When the tumble dryer is operating, the back of

the tumble dryer will get very hot. Leave the

machine to cool completely before touching the

back.

Installation

See the "Installation" chapter.

WARNING!

Do not start the machine until it has been in

position for 24 hours. If for some reason the

tumble dryer needs to be laid down for transport

or service, it must be laid on its left side viewed

from the front.

Transport/Winter storage

If you need to move your machine or store it over

the winter in unheated premises, make sure that

you drain the condensed water container

beforehand.

Packing material

Please sort waste materials in accordance with

local guidelines.

Safety instructions

Description of the tumble dryer

Here are some tips that may help you before you

begin tumble-drying.

Have the clothes been spun?

Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000

rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy

and reduce drying time.

Materials that can be tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is suitable

for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited to

tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth and

synthetic fibres. Garments will be softer and lighter

when tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any significant

wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint

filter consists of dust and fibre residues formed

when the items are used.

Materials that must not be

tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is not

suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials may

melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat,

and others can lose their shape or shrink.

And do not tumble-dry

• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".

•garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.

• plastic foam.

• fibreglass material.

• wool must not be tumble-dried because of the

risk of felting.

Static electricity

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry

after tumble drying you can:

• Use fabric softener when washing.

•Wait five minutes after the drying program ends

before opening the door and removing the

laundry from the dryer.

NOTE!

You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the

Stop button for three seconds or by opening the

door. In both cases the programme is stopped

and starts from the beginning if restarted.

If you do not want to restart the programme then

immediately remove all laundry and spread it out

to allow the heat to dissipate.

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you

achieve the best possible tumble-drying results.

1Sort your fabrics

You will achieve the most uniform drying

results if the items are made of the same

type of material. Do up zips and buttons, fasten

belts, sort the items and adjust the load and

temperature.

2Press the main power switch

until the display lights.

3Open the door, load the items

and then close the door

programmes when you want items to be

completely dry.

error to find out what works best. Use these

programmes when you want items to be

completely dry.
