ensure that the items are left at a temper­ature that ensures that items will not be
damaged.

• The tumble dryer is not to be used if in­dustrial chemicals have been used for
cleaning.

• Ensure you have good ventilation in the
installation room to avoid the back flow of
gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires.

>PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the

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.

Installation

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your conven­ience, the machine is positioned close to
your washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a
clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all
round the appliance. Do not obstruct the
front ventilation grille or the air intake
grilles at the back of the machine.

• To keep vibration and noise to a mini­mum when the dryer is in use, it should
be placed on a firm, level surface.

• Once in its permanent operating position,
check that the dryer is absolutely level

with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not,
raise or lower the feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not
restrict the floor clearance through deep­pile carpets, strips of wood or similar.
This might cause heat built-up which
would interfere with the operation of the
appliance.
