4Important safety information

Child safety
• This machine is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without super-
vision.
• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical appliances. Chil-
dren should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING!
• Danger of suffocation! The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be
dangerous to children - Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb inside the drum.
ENVIRONMENT
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be
treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate 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 inappropriate waste
handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where
you purchased the product.
Environmental information
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic com-
ponents are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging
materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.
The heat pump of your tumble dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit filled with a re-
frigerant which is free from fluoro-chloro-hydrocarbons. The refrigerant circuit in the heat
pump must not be damaged.
WARNING!
When a unit is no longer being used:
• Pull the plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.
• Dispose of the door catch. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside and
endangering their lives.
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 programme overview;
– Ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;
Environment 5

– 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
Transporting the appliance
Only tip the appliance on its left side to transport
(see illustration), if it cannot be transported in an
upright position.
WARNING!
If the appliance was not transported in an upright
position, leave it to stand for 12 hours before connecting it to the electricity supply and
using it for the first time, so that the oil can flow back to the compressor. Otherwise the
compressor could be damaged.
Appliance positioning
• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the appliance 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 appliance.
• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the tumble dryer is in use, it should be
placed on a firm, level surface.
• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the tumble 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 deep pile
carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere
with the operation of the appliance.
• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appli-
ance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high tempera-
tures.
• When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C
and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.
• Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door a door with a
hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance in such a way that a full opening of

USING THE APPLIANCE
Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type:
– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS programme group.
• Sort by symbol on the cloth label: The care labels mean:
Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer
Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer at normal temperature
Applicable to dry in the tumble dryer at reduced temperature
Not applicable to dry in the tumble dryer
Do not put in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as
being applicable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as applicable to
tumble dry.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile col-
ours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL programme. Before the drying
cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen tex-
tiles together of almost the same or the same material, colour and weight. Please dry
heavy laundry items made of wool separately.
Preparing laundry preparation
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties
or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the
cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.
Do not overload the appliance. Observe max. loading volume of 7kg.
