hazards associated with electrical
appliances. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the

dangerous to children - Keep them
out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of
children’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not
climb inside the drum.
Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and
soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore
needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most
economically if you:
– Always keep the ventilation slots on the
base of the dryer unobstructed;
– Use the loading volumes specified in
the programme overview;
– Ensure you have good ventilation in the
installation room;
– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine
strainer after each drying cycle;
– Spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on
spinning speed set in washing
machine. Higher spinning speed lower energy consumption.

friendly and can be recycled. The plastic
components are identified by markings, e.g.
>PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the
packaging materials in the appropriate

Important! The heat pump of your tumble
dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit
filled with a refrigerant which is free from
