Preventing material damage en
2 Preventing material
damage
Follow these instructions to avoid material damage and damage to the appliance.
ATTENTION!
The functionality of the appliance
may be impaired if you use the
wrong quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product or cleaning
agent.
▶
Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer.
Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the function of the appliance.
▶
Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do
not exceed it.
→"Programmes", Page23
The function of the appliance may be
impaired if the appliance overheats.
▶
During operation, keep the air inlet
on the appliance clear.
▶
Make sure that the area is ad-
equately ventilated.
Light objects such as hair and fluff
may be sucked into the air inlet on
the appliance during operation and
impair the function of the appliance.
▶
Keep the area around the appli-
ance clean during operation.
▶
Keep light objects away from the
appliance.
If you operate the appliance without a
fluff guard (e.g. fluff filter, fluff collector, filter mat, etc., depending on
appliance specifications), or if the
fluff guard is incomplete or defective,
this may result in damage to the appliance.
▶
Do not operate the appliance
without a fluff guard, or with a fluff
guard that is incomplete or defect-
ive.
Foam and foam rubber may deform
or melt during the drying process.
▶
Do not dry laundry that contains
foam or foam rubber.
Unsuitable cleaning products may
damage the surfaces of the appliance.
▶

3 Environmental protec-
tion and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Operate the appliance in a well-ventilated room and keep the air inlet on
the appliance clear.
a
If air exchange is impeded, this ex-
tends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
11
en Installation and connection
Spin the laundry in the washing machine before drying.
a
If the laundry is excessively damp,
this extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
Observe the programme's maximum
load capacity.
→"Programmes", Page23
a
If the maximum load is exceeded,
this extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
After drying, clean the fluff filter
→Page28.
a
If the fluff filter is dirty, this reduces
the air flow in the appliance, extends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
Dry the filters in the filter system of
the base unit →Page29 thoroughly
after cleaning.
a
If the filters are damp, this extends
the programme duration and increases energy consumption.

Fresh deposits
are easier to remove without
leaving any
residue.
This allows the
residual water to
dry, reducing
odours in the appliance.
