Before using your machine for the first time
Do not tumble-dry
Certain materials are not suitable for tumble-drying. Always check and follow the instructions on
each item's laundry label. You can find more information in the chapter "Advice and tips before you
tumble-dry".
Note!
When starting the tumble dryer for the first time
or after a long period without use, you may notice
a slight thumping noise. This noise is completely
normal and will disappear after a few loads.
See the Quick guide on the last page.

keep them in a safe place!
•
Electrical installation, if required, should be
carried out by a qualified electrician.
•
The machine should only be used for tumbledrying as described in these instructions.
•
Repairs and maintenance must be carried out
by a qualified professional.
•
Damaged mains cables must only be replaced
by a qualified electrician.
•
Sufficient ventilation is required to prevent
smoke from open fires or fumes from equipment burning other fuels being sucked into the
room when the tumble dryer is running.
•
Do not dry dirty laundry in the tumble dryer.
•
Items that are stained with e.g. cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover
should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before they go in the tumbler dryer.
•
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam),
shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubbercoated items and clothes or latex foam-filled
cushions may not be dried in the tumbler dryer.
•
Fabric softener or similar products should be
used as per the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
•
The machine is not designed to be used by
persons (even children) that are physically or
mentally handicapped or lack experience and
knowledge. Such persons must receive instruction in how to use the machine from the person
responsible for their safety.
•
Children must be watched to ensure they do
not play with the machine.
Caution!
Never stop a tumble dryer before the program is
completed unless you immediately remove all the
laundry and spread it out so that the heat can
disperse.
Installation
See the “Installation” chapter.
Safety
•
The machine must not be used for drying items
that have been dry-cleaned at home or fabrics
that may contain residues of flammable liquids.
•
The tumble dryer is protected by an overheating cut-out. This shuts off the machine if the
temperature gets too high.
•
The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
•
The machine automatically cuts off if the condenser water tank is full or outlet hose is
blocked.
Caution!
When the tumble dryer is operating, the back of
the tumble dryer will get very hot. Leave the machine to cool completely before touching the back.
Interrupting a program
You can stop a drying program by:
•
Open the door. The drum will then then stop
automatically.
•
Press the main power switch.
•
Press the Stop button for three seconds.
When you want to resume tumble-drying, simply
close the door and press the Start button.
Transport/Winter storage
If you need to move your machine or store it over
the winter in unheated premises, make sure that
you drain the condensed water container beforehand.

Safety instructions
Packing material
Sort waste materials in accordance with local
guidelines.
Recycling
This machine is manufactured and labelled for
recycling. In order to prevent injuries, the machine
must be made unusable once the decision has
been taken to dispose of it. Contact your local
authority for information about where and how
your machine can be recycled correctly.
•
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.
