Use

• Do not overload the appliance (see programme
chart).

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.

• As some bulky items such as duvets and
eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in
a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the
item is within the limit advised.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that
have been in contact with inflammable solvents
(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and
the like). As these substance are volatile, they
could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items
washed with water.

●

Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil

placed in the tumble dryer.

●

If you have washed your laundry with stain

following items:

Cushions, quilts and the like (these items
accumulate heat).
Items containing rubber foam or materials similar to

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing

guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal

electricity consumption and short drying times.

Your New Tumble Dryer

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.

• Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised

disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use
recycled paper!

• Old appliance

The symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the
applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the environment and human
health, which could otherwise be caused by in appropriate
waste handling of this product. For more detailed
information about recycling of this product, please contact
your local city office, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Energy saving tips

T o save energy we recommend that you follow these hints:

• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine

as small loads are uneconomical.

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin

speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and

saves energy.

• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying

times and high electricity consumption.

• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature

should not exceed +35°C during drying.

In the interest
of the environment

• Materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable.

• Check with your local Council or Environmental

Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
