grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
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.
Warning!
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if
you are in doubt 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.
B) Grounding instructions for a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system,
or an equipment-grounding terminal or lead
on the appliance.

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
both energy and 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 to fabrics. The lint trapped in the
lint filter consists of dust and fiber residues
which gather 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.
Note!
If the door is opened during the program, the
program will be interrupted and will return to
the start. The clothes may be too damp or too
dry as a result.

Operating instructions
Warning!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury
to persons, read the "Important Safety Instructions" section before operating this appliance.
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. Close zippers and fasten
buttons or belts; sort the items and adjust load
and temperature.
Turn on the main power switch.
2
Open the door, load the items,
and then close the door
3
Normal and Delicate
These programs shut off the heat once the
load is dry but before it is "bone-dry". The
Normal program shuts off the heat slightly
later than Delicate. Use trial and error to find
out what works best. Use these programs
when you want items to be completely dry.
Iron Dry
This program shuts off the heat once the load
is just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Timed Dry
The program length you choose depends on
what you intend to do with the items after
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.
Note!
Select the program
You can select a program by cycling
4
through the programs with the program
selector. (the big arrow) until the desired
name is highlighted and the program end time
appears on the display. Start the program by
pressing the Start button, or press the program selector to select Options.
Guidelines as to what specific programs can be used for.
Heavy
This program is for items that are particularly
difficult to dry, such as jeans with very thick
seams.
Note!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to
shrinkage. Use the Normal, Delicate, or Iron
Dry programs for these items. Stretch clothes
back into shape immediately after drying.
When using the Timed Dry program, garments can become "over-dry" if you have selected too long a drying time. This can cause
the items to shrink or wrinkle and become
rough. Synthetic materials can also become
charged with static electricity.
Setting the time for the Air Fluff or Timed Dry program
For the Air Fluff and Timed Dry programs, you
set the number of minutes incrementally. The
selected time is shown on the display. You
can try out different drying times.
Air Fluff
Use the Air Fluff program when you just want
to refresh, air out,, or soften up items.
