Safety instructions
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard
and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources such
as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected
items can prevent heat from escaping and so
create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that
fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care products
be placed in a tumble dryer they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergent this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The ’cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should
be used to reduce the temperature of the items.
They should not be removed from the tumble
dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances should not
be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in domestic
environments include acetone, denatured
alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as
latex foam) or similarly textured rubberlike
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer
on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can,
when heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not
be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the
effects of static electricity unless this practice
is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed in a
tumbledryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can
result if metal reinforcements come loose
during drying. When available a drying rack
could be used for such items.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’
waterproof napkin covers should not be placed
in a tumble dryer. Rubber-backed articles,
clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Vented dryers
• There has to be adequate ventilation to avoid
the back flow of gases into the room from
appliances burning other fuels, including open
fires, when operating the tumble dryer.
• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
CAUTION!
Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed through
ducts used for equipment that burns gas or other
fuels.

Child safety
General
WARNING!
Do not allow children to play with
the tumble dryer.
• If the door is opened when a program is
running the garments may be very hot, with a
risk of burn injuries.
• The tumble dryer does not start automatically
when the door is closed (if a child pulls the
door shut from the inside, for example).

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry
Here are some tips that may help you before you
begin tumble-drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000
rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy
and reduce drying time.
Materials that can be tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is suitable
for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited to
tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth and
synthetic fibres. Garments will be softer and lighter
when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant
wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint
filter consists of dust and fibre residues formed
when the items are used.
Static electricity
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry
after tumble drying you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait five minutes after the drying program ends
before opening the door and removing the
laundry from the dryer.
NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the
door. In both cases the program is stopped and
starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the program then
immediately remove all laundry and spread it out
to allow the heat to dissipate.
Materials that must not be tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials may
melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat,
and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble-dry
• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• plastic foam.
• fibreglass material.
• wool because of the risk of felting.

Tumble drying
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible tumble-drying results.
Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying
1
results if the items are made of the same
type of material. Do up zips and buttons, fasten
belts, sort the items and adjust the load and
temperature.
Press the main power switch
until the display lights.

Select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights next to the selected program. Use the
option buttons to select any options.
Guidelines as to what specific programs can be used for:
Auto extra dry
This program is for items that are particularly
difficult to dry, e.g. jeans with very thick seams.
NOTE!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to
shrinkage. Use the Auto extra dry, Auto normal
dry or Auto Iron dry programs for these items.
Stretch clothes back into shape immediately
after drying.
Auto dry and Auto normal dry
These programs end automatically when the load
is dry. The Auto dry program gives slightly drier
laundry than Auto normal dry.
Auto Iron dry
This program shuts off the heat once the load is
just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Timed dry
The most suitable program time depends on what
you intend to do with the items after tumble-drying
them. Use trial and error to find out what works
best. When you use Timed dry to tumble-dry a
load of mixed fabrics, some of the garments may
remain damp. Tumble-dry any damp garments
for a further 30 minutes or so using the Timed dry
program.
Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed
Start button. A program time between 30 minutes
and 3 hours can be selected and each button
press changes the time by 15 minutes.
NOTE!
When using the Timed dry program with a
program time that is too long, the garments can
become “over-dry”. This can cause items to
shrink or crease and feel rough to the touch.
Synthetic materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
10
Revitalise
Use the Air fluff program when you just want to
refresh, air or soften up items.
Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed
Start button. A program time between 15 minutes
and 3 hours can be selected and each button
press changes the time by 15 minutes.

Care and cleaning
Emptying the condensed water container
Cleaning the steamer filter
Lint should be cleaned from the net filter and the
foam filter inside the steamer door at the intervals
shown on the machine’s display or more often.
1. Remove the plinth.
2. Open the steamer door.
If you have not connected the machine to a
separate drain the condensed water container
must be emptied after each load. Remove the
condensed water container, empty out the water
and replace the container.
If the condensed water container becomes too
full, the program is interrupted and F10 is shown
in the display. Empty the container and press the
Start button to restart the program.
For connection to a separate drain, see the

15
Page 16
Care and cleaning
5. Remove the foam filter found behind the net
filter.
6. Wash the foam filter in a washing machine
using a rinse or quick wash program. No
detergent or hot wash is necessary. The lint is
washed away and the filter is not damaged.
7. Clean the steamer by spraying water on the
ribs with a plant spray bottle. The lint runs off
together with the water, which is then
evacuated by the condensed water pump.
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the program
panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use solvents,
as these can damage the machine. Do not hose
down or spray the machine with water.
NOTE!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the
machine. Keep the area around the tumble dryer
clean and cool; dust, heat and moisture prolong
drying times.
8. Replace both filters and close the steamer
door.
NOTE!
Avoidtouching the ribs on the steamer. They are
very thin and easily damaged. If the ribs are bent
or damaged, the efficiency of the condenser is
greatly impaired, as is the drying result.

tumble dryer needs to be laid down for transport
or service, it must be laid on its left side viewed
from the front.
Positioning the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer can be free-standing or in a
stack. Remember that the tumble dryer produces
heat and should therefore not be located in a room
that is too small. If the room is very small, drying
will take longer due to the limited quantity of air.
WARNING!
• Any electrical installation must be carried out
by qualified professionals.
• The machine must not be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with
hinges on the opposite side to those of the
tumble dryer.
• The tumble dryer's plinth ventilation must not
be blocked by a rug or the like.
How to assemble the stack:
1. Remove the two tip guards from the back of
the tumble dryer. Replace the screws that held
the tip guards in place.
2. Undo the two screws indicated on the back of
the washing machine.
NOTE!
To improve ventilation, leave the door to the
room where the tumble dryer is located open.
