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 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 strain-

er after each drying cycle;

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

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

– 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 components 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.

Important! The heat pump of your dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit filled with a refrigerant which is free from fluoro-chlorohydrocarbons. 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.
