40001536Eng.qxd 18/08/2004 11:00 Page 6
Adequate ventilation must be provided in the
room where the tumble dryer is located to
prevent gases from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the
room during operation of the tumble dryer.
● Exhaust air must not be discharged into a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
● Check regularly that the air flowing through
the dryer is not restricted.
● Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if
necessary.
● The inlet and outlets should be kept free
from obstructions. To ensure adequate
ventilation the space between the bottom
of the machine and the floor must not be
obstructed. There should be a gap of at
least 12mm between the machine and any
obstructions.
● Prevent items from falling or collecting
behind the dryer as these may obstruct the
air inlet and outlet.
● NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.
If the dryer is installed under a worktop or builtin, it is essential to use the venting hose to carry
the hot moist air away from the dryer otherwise
re-circulation of the moist air will prevent the
dryer from working efficiently.
The hose is assembled and fitted to the machine
as shown.
The hose may be fitted through a wall or through
an open door or window (Fig. 1). The hose is
95mm (3.75 inches) in diameter and will extend
up to 1.8 metres (6 feet).
Venting hoses longer than 1.8 metres (6 feet) are
not recommended as the dryer performance will
be reduced. Ensure that the venting hose is not
kinked as this will prevent the dryer from
working efficiently.

Clothes preparation
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry
is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown
by the care symbols on each item.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.
Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure
that they don't get tangled.
Maximum drying weight
● Cottons Max. 7.5 kg
● Synthetics Max. 3 kg
8
Preparing the load
Do not overload
the drum, large
items when wet
can exceed the
maximum
admissible
clothes load
(for example:
sleeping bags,
duvets).
40001536Eng.qxd 18/08/2004 11:00 Page 8
Sort the load as follows:
● By care symbols
These can be found on the collar or inside
seam:
Suitable for tumble drying.
Tumble drying at high temperature.
Tumble drying at low temperature only.
Do not tumble dry.
If the item does not have a care label it
must be assumed that it is not suitable
for tumble drying.
● By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer
capacity, separate clothes according to
thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
● By type of fabric
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and
table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.
made of polyester or polyamid, as well as
for cotton/synthetic mixes.
● By drying level
Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For
delicate articles press the button to
select low drying temperature.
9
40001536Eng.qxd 18/08/2004 11:00 Page 9
Do not tumble dry:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,
delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic
decorations, garments with PVC or leather
trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as
sleeping bags, etc.
Energy saving
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has
been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier
the laundry the shorter the drying time thus
saving electricity.
ALWAYS
● Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry,
this will save time and electricity.
● Check that the filter is clean before every
drying cycle.
NEVER
● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste
time and electricity.
● Put dripping wet items into the tumble
dryer, this may damage the appliance.

Description
Select the degree of dryness that you require.
This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and
bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that
will be put away without ironing, to the
programmes that leave the laundry suitable for
ironing.
The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning
and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the
load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 minute cool
down period and is especially good for garments
which may have been left for some time prior to
ironing, in a linen basket for example. Garments
may also become stiffened when dried outside on a
washing line or inside on radiators. The Fast Iron
process relaxes the creases in the fabric making
ironing quicker and easier.

du ringe til GIAS Service for rådgivning.
40001536DANISH.qxd 18/08/2004 11:55 Page 22
Der skal være tilstrækkelig ventilation i det rum,
hvor tørretumbleren placeres, så det undgås at
gasser fra andre apparater, eller åben ild, trækkes
ind i rummet under tørretumbling.
● Udsugningsluft må ikke afledes i en
trækkanal, der er beregnet til aftræk af
røggasser fra apparater, der kører på gas
eller anden brændsel.
● Kontrollér regelmæssigt at luften, der
strømmer gennem tørretumbleren, ikke
hæmmes.
● Kontrollér fnugfiltret efter brug og rengør
det om nødvendigt.
● Indløb og udløb skal holdes fri for
tilstopninger. For at sikre tilstrækkelig
ventilation må mellemrummet mellem
maskinens bund og gulvet ikke tilstoppes.
Der skal være mindst 12 mm fri luft mellem
maskinen og ting, der kan blokere.
● Genstande skal forhindres i at falde ned og
samles mellem tørretumblerens sider og
bagside, da disse kan tilstoppe
luftindsugning og -udsugning.
● Tørretumbleren må ALDRIG installeres op
mod gardiner.
Hvis tørretumbleren installeres under et
arbejdsbord eller indbygges, er det vigtigt at
anvende aftræksslangen til at transportere den
varme, fugtige luft væk fra tørretumbleren, da
recirkulation af den fugtige luft ellers vil
forhindre tørretumbleren i at arbejde effektivt.
Slangen er samlet og passer til maskinen som vist.
Slangen kan monteres gennem en mur eller
gennem en åben dør eller et åbent vindue (fig.
1). Slangen er 95 mm (3,75 tommer) i diameter og
er op til 1,8 meter lang (6 fod).
Aftrækningsslanger som er længere end 1,8
meter (6 fod) anbefales ikke, da tørretumblerens
ydeevne vil blive nedsat. Det skal sikres, at
aftræksslangen ikke slår bugter, da dette vil
forhindre tørretumbleren i at arbejde effektivt.

Før tørretumbleren anvendes første gang:
● Læs venligst denne instruktionsbog
grundigt.
● Fjern alle genstande som er lagt ind i
tromlen.
● Aftør tromlens inderside og låge med en
fugtig klud for at fjerne eventuelt støv, som
har sat sig under transporten.
Klargøring af tøj
Du skal sikre, at det vasketøj, du skal til at tørre,
egner sig til tørring i en tørretumbler, som vist på
vaskemærker på hver genstand.
Kontroller at alle lukninger er lukkede, og at
lommerne er tomme. Vend vrangen ud på
genstandene. Læg tøjet løst i tromlen for at sikre,
at det ikke filtrer sig sammen.
Maksimal tørrevægt
● Bomuld, maks. 7,5 kg
● Syntetiske stoffer, maks. 3 kg
24
Forberedelse af ilægning
af tøj
Tromlen må ikke
overfyldes,
større, våde ting,
kan overstige
den maksimalt
tilladte vægt
(f.eks.: soveposer,
dyner).
40001536DANISH.qxd 18/08/2004 11:55 Page 24
Sorter tøjet, der skal
lægges i, som følger:
● Efter vaskemærker
De findes i kraven eller på en indvendig
søm:
Egnet til tørring i tumbler.
Tørring i tumbler ved høj temperatur.
Kun tørring i tumbler ved lav
temperatur.
Må ikke tørres i tørretumbler.
Hvis der ikke findes noget vaskemærke,
må det betragtes som uegnet til
tørretumbling.
● Efter antal og tykkelse
Når som helst det tøj, der skal lægges i,
overstiger tørretumblerens kapacitet, skal
tøjet adskilles i overensstemmelse med
tykkelse (f.eks. håndklæder fra tyndt
undertøj).
● Efter stoftype
Bomuld/linned: Håndklæder, bomuldsjersey,
sengelinned og duge.
Syntetiske stof: Skjortebluser, skjorter,
overalls, osv., fremstillet af polyester eller
polyamid samt efter bomulds/syntetiske
blandinger.
● Efter tørringsniveau
Sorter tøjet i: Strygetørt, Skabstørt, osv. For
sarte genstande tryk på -knappen for at
vælge lav tørretemperatur.
25
40001536DANISH.qxd 18/08/2004 13:02 Page 25
Må ikke tørres i
tørretumbler:
Uld, silke, sarte stoffer, nylonstrømper, sart
broderi, stof med metaldekoration,
beklædningsgenstande med PVC eller
læderkanter, gummisko, pladskrævende
genstande, som f.eks. soveposer, osv.
Energibesparelse
Læg kun vasketøj i tørretumbleren som er blevet
grundigt vredet eller centrifugeret. Jo mere tørt
vasketøj er, jo kortere vil tørretiden være og
derved spare elektricitet.
ALTID
● Prøv altid at tørre vasketøj så meget
vasketøj som maskinen tillader, dette sparer
både tid og elektricitet.
● Det skal altid kontrolleres, at filtret er rent
før hver tørrecyklus.
ALDRIG
● Den maksimale vægt må aldrig overskrides,
dette vil spilde tid og elektricitet.
● Læg aldrig drivvåde genstande i tørretumbleren, dette kan beskadige apparatet.
