Before using your machine for the first time
Do not tumble-dry
Certain materials are sensitive to tumbledrying. 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.

Safety instructions
General
• Read the operating instructions and 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
tumble-drying 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.
• 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 foamfilled 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 last phase of the drying cycle is carried
out without any heat (cool down cycle).
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.
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.
• You can also stop a program by pressing
the Start/Stopp button for three seconds.
• When you want to resume tumble-drying,
simply close the door and press the
Start/Stopp 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.
Installation
See the “Installation” chapter.
Packing material
Sort waste materials in accordance with local
guidelines.

Safety instructions
Recycling
This machine is manufactured and labelled
for recycling. to prevent injuries, the machine
must be made unusable before disposing 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. Rubberbacked articles, clothes fitted with foam
rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubbercoated 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.

2. Turn the program selector until On or Off
is displayed.
3. Press the program selector to activate
To deactivate the Child-safe start temporarily:
By pressing the program selector and the
Stop button at the same time for three
seconds, you can temporarily disable the
safety catch for three minutes.

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.
Laundry labels
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 to fabrics. The lint that is
trapped in the lint filter consists of dust and
fibre residues that form when the items are
used.
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.
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.
