Instructions for use

1 Safety

Before first starting up

• Note the ”Installation and connection instruc-

tions”

• Before first starting up, check the machine for any

damage incurred during transport. Never connect
up a damaged machine. If parts are damaged,
contact your supplier.

Intended use

• The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in

domestic applications.

• Conversions or modifications to the dryer are not

permitted.

• The laundry must not contain flammable solvents

(benzene, alcohol, stain remover, etc.) . Risk of fire

and/or explosion! Laundry which has come into
contact with such substances must be rinsed thor­oughly by hand before drying.

• When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use those
products which are declared as suitable for the
dryer by the manufacturer.

• Do not place items of laundry in the dryer which
contain foam rubber or materials similar to rubber.
Risk of fire!

• Do not place heavily worn laundry items in the dry­er. Risk of fire!

• Do not place laundry items with loose fillings (e.g.
cushions) in the dryer. Risk of fire!

• Parts with rigid components (e.g. door mats) may
cover the air slots. Risk of fire! Do not place such
items in the dryer.

• Do not overfill the dryer. Risk of fire! Observe max.
loading volume of 6 kg.

• Ensure that explosive objects (e.g. cigarette light­ers, spray cans, etc.) do not enter the dryer with
the laundry. Risk of fire and/or explosion!

• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire hazard and should not be placed in the tumble
dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover
you must execute an extra rinse cycle before load­ing your tumble dryer.

• Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after
each drying cycle.

• Do not use the machine if there are no lint filters or
if these are damaged. Risk of fire!

• Clean the heat exchanger regularly.

• With stacked washer and dryer: Do not place ob-

jects on the dryer. These may fall off during opera­tion.

• The covering bonnet of the bulb for the drum light
must be screwed down tightly.

Child safety

• Keep packaging away from children. Risk of suffo­cation!

• Children can often not see the dangers associated
with electric machines. Never leave unsupervised
children near the dryer.

• Ensure that children and small animals cannot
climb into the dryer’s drum. Risk of death! Keep
the dryer door shut whenever it is not being used.

General safety

• Only specialists may undertake repairs on the dry­er.

• Never start up the dryer if the mains cable is dam­aged or if the operating screen, operating plate or
base area are damaged so that the inside of the
machine is open and accessible.

• Switch off the dryer before all cleaning, care or
maintenance work. Also disconnect the mains plug
from the socket or – with permanent connections –
switch off the LS switch in the fuse box and/or fully
unscrew the screwed-in fuse.

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply
during long pauses in operations.

• When removing from the socket, never pull the
mains plug by the cable, instead take a hold of the
plug.

• Manifold plugs, couplings and extension cables
must not be used. Risk of fire from overheating!

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

• Do not lean on the open door. The machine may tip
over.

• Once the drying cycle has been interrupted, the
laundry and drum may be hot. Risk of burns! Take
care when removing the laundry.

2 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 pro-

gramme overview;
