WARNING

zzDo not hold or pull on the mains lead when removing the mains plug from the mains socket.

zzUnplug the mains lead before cleaning.

Correct use

zzItems such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, airtight fabrics, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the appliance. Such materials may be destroyed and thereby damage the appliance.

zzNever stop the appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

zzThe final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Selecting A LOCATION

10 cm

5 cm

10 cm

510549

You need a space at least 60 cm wide, with at least 10 cm of clearance on both sides and above, and 5 cm of clearance behind the appliance. See the diagram above for an example. Failure to heed the minimum clearance requirements may cause the dryer to overheat.

Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear should always be kept free.

Do not install the appliance in a room where frost may form.

The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated, with temperature between 10 °C and 25 °C. When the dryer is operated at a lower ambient temperature, condensate can accumulate in the appliance interior. Frozen water in the water container or pump may damage the dryer.

The ambient light level where the dryer is installed should be adequate to read the front panel properly.

Positioning the appliance

4X

The dryer can either be free standing on the floor or, using the vacuum feet, on a washing machine of the same dimensions.

– minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is placed should be clean and level.

Use the vacuum feet supplied; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding.

The washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight of the dryer (refer to the washing machine's operating instructions for further information).

Children shall not play with the appliance.

Do not climb onto the appliance.
