Installation
:Warning
Risk of electric shock/fire/ material damage/damage to the appliance!
If the appliance is not installed properly, this may lead to a dangerous situation. Ensure the following:
■The mains voltage on your power socket must match the rated voltage specified on the appliance (identification plate). The connected loads and the required fuse protection are specified on the identification plate.
■The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.

■The installation must have an adequate cross section.
■The mains plug must be freely accessible at all times. If this is not possible, in order to comply with the relevant safety regulations, a switch (all pole disconnection) must be built into the permanent installation in accordance with electrical installation regulations.
■If using a residual current circuit breaker, only use one that bears the following mark: z. The presence of this mark is the only way to be sure that it fulfils all the applicable regulations.
:Warning
Risk of electric shock/fire/ material damage/damage to the appliance!
If the appliance's mains cable is altered or damaged, this may result in electric shock, short circuiting or fire due to overheating.
The mains cable must not be kinked, crushed or altered, and must not come into contact with any heat sources.
6

Operation
:Warning
Risk of explosions/fire!
Laundry that has come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, wax remover, paint, grease or stain remover may ignite when dried in the machine, or even cause the appliance to explode. Therefore please note:
■Rinse the laundry thoroughly with warm water and detergent before drying it in the machine.
■Do not place laundry in this appliance to be dried if the laundry has not been washed first.
■Do not use the appliance if industrial chemicals have been used to clean the laundry.
:Warning
Risk of explosions/fire!
■If there is any residual material left in the fluff filter, this may ignite when drying is in progress, or even cause the appliance to catch fire or explode.
Clean the fluff filter regularly.
■Certain objects may ignite when drying is in progress, or even cause the appliance to catch fire or explode. Remove any lighters or matches from pockets on items of clothing.
■If there is coal dust or flour in the air around the appliance, this may cause an explosion. Make sure that the area around the appliance is kept clean when it is in operation.
:Warning
Risk of fire/material damage/ damage to the appliance!
The appliance contains R290, a refrigerant that is environmentally friendly but flammable.
Keep open fire and ignition sources away from the appliance.
8
:Warning
Risk of fire/material damage/ damage to the appliance!
If a program is terminated before the drying cycle has finished, this prevents the laundry from cooling down sufficiently and may cause the laundry to ignite, or may result in material damage or damage to the appliance.
■During the last part of the drying cycle, the laundry in the drum is not heated (cooling cycle). This is to ensure that it remains at a temperature at which it will not be damaged.
■Do not switch off the appliance before the drying cycle has finished unless you remove all items of laundry from the drum immediately and spread them out (to dissipate the heat).
:Warning
Risk of poisoning/material damage!
Condensation water is not suitable for drinking and may be contaminated with lint. Contaminated condensation water may be hazardous to health and may cause material damage.
Do not drink or reuse.

en Safety instructions
Caution!
Material damage/damage to the appliance
■If the amount of laundry in the appliance exceeds its maximum load capacity, it may not be able to operate properly, or this may result in material damage or damage to the appliance.
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of dry laundry. Make sure you comply with the maximum load capacities specified for each of the programs. ~ Page 23
■If you operate the appliance without a fluff catcher (e.g. fluff filter, fluff depot, depending on appliance specifications), or if the fluff catcher is incomplete or defective, this may result in damage to the appliance. Do not operate the appliance without a fluff catcher, or with a fluff catcher that is incomplete or defective.

:Warning
Risk of injury/material damage/damage to the appliance!
The use of spare parts and accessories supplied by other brands is dangerous and may result in injury, material damage or damage to the appliance. For safety reasons, use genuine spare parts and accessories only.
Caution!
Material damage/damage to the appliance
Cleaning agents and agents for pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers, prewash sprays, etc.) may cause damage if they come into contact with the surfaces of the appliance. Therefore please note:

en Energy-saving tips
7Energy-saving tips
■Spin the laundry before drying. The drier the laundry, the shorter the programme will be, in turn reducing energy consumption.
■Load the appliance with the maximum loads permitted for the programmes.
Note: If the maximum load is exceeded, this extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
■Operate the appliance in a ventilated room and make sure that the air inlet on the appliance is unobstructed so that air exchange can take place unhindered.
■Regularly remove the fluff from the appliance. If there is fluff in the appliance, this extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
■If you do not perform any actions on the appliance for an extended period before the programme starts or once the programme has ended, the appliance will automatically switch to energy-saving mode. The display and indicator lights go out after a few minutes and Start/Pause Ü flashes. To end energy-saving mode, all you need to do is perform an action on the appliance, such as opening and closing the door.
■If you do not perform any actions on the appliance for an extended period when it is in energy-saving mode, the appliance automatically switches itself off.
