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.
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.
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;
6 Installation
– 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
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.
• 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.
