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.

- Please read the instruction book before using this appliance.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical and sensory conditions or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person re­sponsible for their safety.

• Make sure that small children and pets do not climb inside the drum. To avoid this,
please check into the drum before using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp
material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

• In order to avoid danger of fires caused by excessive drying, do not use appliance to
dry the following items: Cushions, quilts and the like (these items accumulate heat).

• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.

• Always unplug the appliance after use, cleaning and maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Con­tact your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

WARNING!

•

Risk of fire! Never stop a tumble dry before the end of the drying cycle unless
all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

•

Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

•

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.

Installation

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

• When unpacking the appliance, check that it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it
and contact the Service Centre.

• All packaging must be removed before use. Serious damage can occur to the product
and to property if this is not adhered to. See relevant section in the user manual.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a quali­fied electrician or competent person.

• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow
air to circulate freely under the appliance.

• After having installed the appliance, check that it is not pressing or standing on its
electrical supply cable.

• If the tumble dryer is placed on top of a washing machine, it is compulsory to use the
stacking kit (optional accessory).

• Do not overload the appliance. See the relevant section in the user manual.

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer.

• Garments which have been in contact with volatile petroleum products should not be
machine dried. If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to ensure that
the fluid is removed from the garment before placing in the machine.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take
hold of the plug itself.

• Never use the tumble dryer if the power supply cable, the control panel, the working
surface or the base are damaged so that the inside of the tumble dryer is accessible.

• Fabric softeners, or similar products should be used as specified by the fabric softener
instructions.

ENVIRONMENT

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not

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 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.

DAILY USE

Sorting laundry

• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS (KATOEN) programme group.

– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS (SYNTHETISCH) programme

group.

• Sort by care label: The care labels mean:

Drying in the tumble dryer possible in principle

Drying at normal temperature

Drying at reduced temperature

Drying in the tumble dryer not possible

Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as
being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable for
tumble-drying.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile
colours may bleed.

• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!

• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOL) programme. Before
the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry
woollen textiles together of similar or the same material, colour and weight. Please
dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately.

Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose
ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the
cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.

Do not overload the appliance. Observe max. loading volume of 8 kg.
