1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION
— Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers,
turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water
washing programme with additional detergent for example).
— Precautions for using stain-removing products : any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remover, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, turpentine is prohibited because these
products are very inflammable. If your laundry requires this type of treatment, this must be done
before washing. Similarly, we recommend that you do not use these products near to your dryer or,
in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an
explosion.
— If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see
“TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact our Technical Service Center.
— Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug, remove the fuse and cut
off the power cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable.
— For your safety’s sake, if you wish to change your appliance’s power cable, contact a qualified
electrician.
— If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call our Technical Service
Center.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The appliance’s packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by
dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.
Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this
label to indicate that in countries that are a members of the European Union the used
appliances should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible conditions, in compliance
with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points closest to your
home.
We thank you for doing your part to protect the environment.
•ENERGY SAVINGS
— Spin your textiles at high speeds ; the residual dampness will be low, as will your energy
consumption. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying.
— Place the maximum load in your machine ; this will optimize the energy used. When doing so,
comply with the indications on volume provided in this instruction manual.
— The drying time and the energy consumption are both increased by a high ambient temperature
and too small a room.
— Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
— Clean the condenser twice a month.

• THE APPLIANCE’S SURROUNDINGS
Important :
We strongly advise against :
— Installing your appliance on a carpeted floor.
If you cannot avoid this, take all possible measures not to obstruct the circulation of air at
its base.
— Installing your dryer in a location where it
can be subject to being splashed with water.
— Installing your dryer in a small closed room
(if this is the case, open the door or the window during drying).
— Installing your dryer in a poorly ventilated
room. The temperature in the room must
remain below 30°C during drying.
Advice :
Your tumble dryer releases heat. If you place it next to another appliance or a unit, we
advise you always to leave a space in-between to assist in air circulation (Fig. 03).
Important :
Use a level to check that the appliance
is horizontal :
Your dryer is fitted with 4 adjustable feet
(Fig.
04).
To adjust the stability and levelness :
— Tip it slightly backwards.
— Screw one or more of the feet in or out using
a spanner or a screwdriver to adjust their
height to suit the shape of the floor
(Fig. 04).
— Set your dryer back on its feet and check
that it is stable.
• LEVELLING
0.4 inches minimum
• THE “STEAM” TANK
Important :
The “Steam” tank must be filled only with demineralised water or
with water from the recovery tank provided that it has been filtered
using the filter provided for this purpose on the steam tank inlet.

• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Danger :
To make the electrical connection to your appliance :
— Do not use an extension, an adapter, a multiple socket or a programmable timer.
— The plug must be easily accessible but be out of children’s reach.
— If there's any doubt about the condition of your installation, contact your installer or a qualified
Brandt-approved professional.
— Never eliminate the electrical Earthing system.
The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards and the Electricity Board’s
regulations in the country concerned, particularly regarding Earthing and installation in shower
rooms.
We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by poor electrical installation.
Advice :
In order to easily find your appliance’s reference numbers in the future, we recommend
that you note them down on the “After-Sales Service and Consumer Relations” page (this page
also explains where to find these on your appliance).
Your appliance complies with European Directives 2006/95/EEC (Low Voltage Directive) and
2004/108/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
• REPLACING THE ELECTRIC POWER CABLE
Important :
To ensure your safety, this must be carried out by the manufacturer's after-sales service
team or a qualified professional.
• BEFORE USING THE STEAM PROGRAM FOR THE FIRST TIME
Important :
The Steam tank is empty when your appliance is delivered. Before using the Steam pro-
gram for the first time, fill the tank with demineralised water or with water from the recovery tank
(see how to proceed in the "EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE" chapter).
The steam tank is empty when your appliance is delivered.
• BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
• COMBINED WASHER/DRYER INSTALLATION
Important :
If you are fitting the appliance underneath a worktop, you must keep the original laminated
top. For safety reasons, the appliance must never be operated without a top.
An adaptation kit is available from your dealer. This is used to mount your tumble dryer above your
washing machine.
Important :
Check with your dealer that the kit is compatible with your washing machine. For safety rea-
sons, fitting must be performed by a qualified professional.
