•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.

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 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.
