The tumble dryer is only intended for
~
drying fabrics washed in a water solution. Check fabric care labels to verify materials can be machine dried.
Before maintenance, or cleaning
~
and care disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply pulling the plug or tripping the circuit breaker.
~
children can access the machine. There is a potential danger that children can be trapped in the drum. This may cause major injuries or the death of the child.
Do not reach into the dryer if the
~
drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance
~
where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with the controls.
~
Do not repair or replace any part of
~
the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following articles must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
items which have not been washed.
items, such as workwear, which have
not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil or other substances (such as cosmetics, lotions, etc.). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that they could ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the program.
– items that have been previously
cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, wax, wax remover, chemicals for buffing (e.g. mops and floor cloths) or other flammable or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
– items which have been spattered
with hair spray, nail polish remover or similar substances.
When washing heavily soiled items
~
ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following articles or items must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
fabrics which contain a large amount
of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberized articles, and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling, or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
which contain padding or fillings
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
In many programs, the heating
~
phase is followed by a cooling down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-igniting). The program is not finished until the cooling down phase is complete. Always wait until the end of the program before removing the laundry.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
~
dryer off before the end of the drying program. If this was done and the laundry was then removed immediately it could give off a great amount of heat.
Do not use fabric softeners or
~
products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Before drying
– Wash heavily soiled items very
thoroughly, ensuring that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.
New dark-colored garments should
be washed and dried separately from light-colored garments the first few times they are washed, to avoid the risk of colors running and discolouring other garments or even the plastic components in the tumble dryer. Dark-colored fibers can also settle on light-colored garments and vice versa.
Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.
– Check the seams of padded or
down-filled items to prevent the risk of fillings coming out. These could catch fire in the tumble dryer.
– Tie together textile belts and apron
ties to stop them getting tangled.
– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent
small items from being trapped inside them. Fasten hooks and eyes etc.
Stitch in or remove loose underwiring from bras.
Leave jackets open and undo any long zips so that textiles dry evenly.
For an even drying result, it is important to... . . . spin, . . . shake out, . . . and sort items according to fabric type, size, care label and the drying level required.

Notes and tips on laundry care
2. Load the tumble dryer
Using the tumble dryer
,
incorrectly could cause a fire. Read the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" before using the tumble dryer.
Make sure that objects, e.g.
,
detergent dispensing balls, have been removed from the laundry. They could melt and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.
– Do not overload the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.
– To save energy, always observe the
maximum load for each program (see the separate booklet "Commissioning, program chart and Settings").
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease more the greater the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabrics, such as shirts or blouses. If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabrics.
3. Select a program
. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if the laundry needs further processing after drying. See separate booklet "Commissioning, Program chart and Settlings".
For delicate fabrics with the r care
label, select Low temperature as well.
Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing program.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing program.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. Only dry these fabrics in a Woollens program.
Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.
On many programs, different drying levels can be selected depending on individual requirements... . . . e.g. Normal+ for laundry that you want to fold and put away immedi ately after drying.

The following factors all affect the estimated time remaining: residual moisture content after spinning; type of fabric; size of load; room temperature; fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics assess conditions in the dryer and adjust the estimated time remaining for a more accurate reading. Because of this, the time displayed can alter during the course of a program.
