Before using your machine for the first time
Do not tumble-dry
Certain materials are sensitive to tumbledrying. Always check and follow an item’s
laundry label. You can read more on page 9,
“Before tumble-drying”.
Note!
When starting the tumble dryer for the first
time or after a long period without use, you
may notice a slight thumping sound. This is
completely normal and will stop after a few
loads.

Safety instructions
General
• Read and keep the Use & Care Guide!
• Electrical installation, if required, should
be carried out by qualified professionals.
• The machine should only be used for
tumble-drying as described in these
instructions.
• Repairs and maintenance relating to
safety or performance must be carried out
by a qualified professional.
• Damaged mains cables must only be
replaced by a qualified professional.
• Sufficient ventilation is required to prevent smoke from open fires or fumes
from equipment burning other fuels being
sucked into the room.
Installation
See the “Installation” chapter.
Safety
The machine must not be used for drying
items that have been dry-cleaned at home
or fabrics that may contain residues of flammable liquids.
The tumble dryer is protected by an overheating cut-out. This shuts off the machine
if the temperature gets too high.
A float shuts off the machine in the event
of a blockage in the condensed water hose
or if there is a risk of the condensed water
container overflowing.
Stopping a programme
You can stop a drying programme by:
• opening the door; the drum stops automatically,
• or by pressing the main power switch.
• When you want to resume tumble-drying,
simply close the door and press the Start/
Stop button.
• You can also stop a programme by pressing the Start/Stop button for three seconds.
Transport/Winter storage
If you need to move your machine or store it
over the winter in unheated premises, then
make sure you drain the condensed water
container beforehand.
Packing material
Sort waste in accordance with local guidelines.
Disposal
When the machine has reached the end of
its service life and is to be disposed of, it
should immediately be made unusable.
Contact your local authority for information
about where your old machine should be
disposed of and recycled in the proper way.
The machine is manufactured and labelled
to facilitate recycling.
Caution
During operation, the back of the tumble
dryer will get very hot. Leave the machine to
cool completely before touching the back.

Child safety
General
Do not allow children to play with the
tumble dryer.
The tumble dryer has a magnetic catch,
allowing the door to be opened from the
inside. The door has a door-switch that automatically stops the tumble dryer when the
door is opened. The tumble dryer does not
start automatically when the door closes
(e.g. if a child closes the door from inside).

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry
Has it been spun?
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at
1000 rpm or faster. Better spinning saves
both energy and drying time.
Laundry labels
Materials that can be tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is suitable for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry
cloth and synthetic fibres. Garments will be
softer and lighter when tumbled than when
hung out to dry.
Note!
Wear to fabrics in the tumble dryer is insignificant. The fluff that gets caught in the
fluff filter is dust and fibre remnants formed
when the items are used.
Materials that must not be
tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble-drying.
Certain materials may melt or become a fire
hazard if exposed to heat, and others lose
their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble-dry...
• materials labelled “Do not dry near heat”,
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home,
• foam plastic,
• fibreglass material,
• wool must not be tumble-dried due to the
risk of felting.
Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying.
