packaging materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.
Important! The heat pump of your tumble
dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit
filled with a refrigerant which is free from
fluoro-chloro-hydrocarbons. The refrigerant
circuit in the heat pump must not be
damaged.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of
children’s reach.

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.
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.
INSTALLATION
Transporting the appliance
Important! Only tip the appliance on its left
side to transport (see illustration), if it cannot
be transported in an upright position.
Warning! If the appliance was not
transported in an upright position, leave
it to stand for 12 hours before
connecting it to the electricity supply
and using it for the first time, so that
the oil can flow back to the
compressor. Otherwise the
compressor could be damaged.
Appliance positioning
• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the appliance is positioned close
to your washing machine.
• The tumble dryer must be installed in a
clean place, where dirt does not build up.
• Air must be able to circulate freely all
round the appliance. Do not obstruct the
front ventilation grille or the air intake
grilles at the back of the appliance.
• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the tumble dryer is in use, it
should be placed on a firm, level surface.
• Once in its permanent operating position,
check that the tumble dryer is absolutely
level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is
not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
• The feet must never be removed. Do not
restrict the floor clearance through deep
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar.
This might cause heat built-up which
would interfere with the operation of the
appliance.
Important!
• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer
can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.
The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to
high temperatures.
• When operating the tumble dryer, the
room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it
may affect the performance of the appliance.
• Should the appliance be moved, it must
be transported vertically.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door a
door with a hinge on the opposite side to
that of the appliance in such a way that a
full opening of the tumble dryer is restricted.
