Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric
softeners are not therefore needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most economically if you:
– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the
dryer unobstructed;
– use the loading volumes specified in the pro-
gramme overview;
– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation
room;
– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each
drying cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on spinning speed
set in washing machine. Higher spinning speed -
lower energy consumption.
Installation
Important! The appliance must be moved in vertical
position for transport.
Appliance positioning
• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.
• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,
where dirt does not build up.
• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the
air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.
• Once in its permanent operating position, check that
the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the
floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of
wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which
would interfere with the operation of the appliance.
