INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT TO BE READ AND OBSERVED
EN
Before using the dryer carefully
read, Health and Safety and
Use and Care guides.
Keep these instructions close
at hand for future reference.
YOUR SAFETY AND SAFETY
OF OTHERS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
This manual and the dryer
itself provide important safety
warnings, to be read and observed at all times.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or
hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow
the safety alert symbol or the
word DANGER or WARNING.
These words mean:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will
cause serious injury.
WARNING
All safety warnings give specic details of the potential risk
presented and indicate how to
reduce risk of injury, damage
and electric shock resulting
from improper use of the dryer.
Carefully observe the following
instructions.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to risks.
The Manufacturer declines any
liability for injury to persons or
animals or damage to property
if these advices and precautions are not respected.
Very young (0-3 years) and
young children (3-8 years) shall
be kept away unless continuously supervised.
Children from 8 years old
and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge can
use this dryer only if they are
supervised or have been given
instructions on safe appliance
use and if they understand the
hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the dryer. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children without supervision.
removers should be washed
in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before
being dried in the tumble
dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed
articles and clothes or pillows
tted with foam rubber pads
should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
Remove all objects from
pockets such as lighters and
matches.
Do not use the tumble dryer if
chemicals have been used for
cleaning.
Oil-soaked items ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such
as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the
heat cannot escape, the item
can become hot enough to
catch re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-soaked items can
prevent heat from escaping
and so create a re hazard.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could
cause serious injury.
Items that have been soiled
with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax
Never stop a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so
that the heat is dissipated.
5
The last phase of the drying cycle is done without heat (cool
down phase), to assure that the
laundry stays at a temperature
level which is not leading to a
damaging of the laundry.
If you want to stack the dryer
on a washing machine, rst
contact our After-Sales Service to verify if this is possible.
Stacking of a dryer is only
admitted if the dryer is safely
xed on the washing machine
by using an appropriate stacking kit.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Always dry a full load, depending on the type of laundry and
the programme/drying time.
For more detailed information,
see the programme chart.
By preference use the maximum spin speed allowed by
your washing machine, since
draining the water mechanical-
ly requires less energy. You will
save time and energy when
running your drying cycle.
Always select the correct
programme/drying time for
the load in order to obtain the
desired drying results.
Select the ‘Gentle’ option only
in case of drying small loads.
DECLARATION
OF CONFORMITY
When drying cotton, for example, dry Iron Dry and Cupboard
Dry loads together. Start with
the Iron Dry programme/drying time setting, remove the
laundry to be ironed at the
end of that cycle and dry the
remainder of the load on the
Cupboard Dry setting.
This dryer has been designed,
constructed and distributed
in compliance with the safety
requirements of European
Directives:
• 2006/95/EC Low Voltage
Directive
