conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service

as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance (Canadian market only). If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be
exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not
exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed
space in a building.
B) Grounding instructions for a
permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance.

condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Description of the tumble dryer
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
fibers. 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 trapped in the lint filter
consists of dust and fiber residues formed when
the items are used.
Materials that should 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 labeled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
• plastic foam.
• fiberglass material.
• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk
of piling.
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,
immediately remove all laundry and spread it out
to allow the heat to dissipate.

Select the program
Main power switch
Program selector
Display window
Options buttons
Start
Stop
Select a program by turning the program selector. The selected program is shown in the display window.
Use the option buttons to select any options.
Guidelines as to what specific programs
can be used for:
Auto Heavy
This program is for items that are particularly
difficult to dry.
NOTE!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to
shrinkage. Use the Auto Heavy, Auto Delicate,
or Auto Iron Dry programs for these items.
Stretch clothes back into shape immediately
after drying.
Auto Normal and Auto Delicate
These programs end automatically when the load
is dry. The Auto Normal program gives slightly
drier laundry than Auto Delicate.
Auto Iron Dry
This program shuts off the heat once the load is
just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Jeans
Program for jeans and clothing with very thick
seams. Delayed Start can be selected as an
option.
Synthetic
Gentle program for synthetics. Delayed Start can
be selected as an option.
Terry cloth
Program intended for large and small loads of
thick terry cloth, such as towels and bathrobes.
Down
Gentle program that dries down items completely.
Can be used to dry up to three pillows or one quilt.
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 program time by pressing the + and buttons. 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 wrinkle and feel rough to the touch.
Synthetic materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
