grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance (Canadian
market only). If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance
must be exhausted outdoors or the
equivalent. Do not exhaust into a
chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed
space in a building.

Advice and tips before you tumble dry
Here are some tips that may help you before
you begin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000
rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy
and reduce drying time.
Materials that can be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is
suitable for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth,
and synthetic fibers. Garments will be softer and
lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant
wear on fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint filter
consists of dust and fiber residues formed when
the items are used.
Materials that should not be tumble
dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials
may melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to
heat and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble dry
• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• fiberglass material.
• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk
of piling.
Static electricity
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the
laundry after tumble drying, you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait five minutes after the drying program
ends before opening the door and removing
the laundry from the dryer.
NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the
door. In both cases the program is stopped and
starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the program,
immediately remove all laundry and spread it
out to allow the heat to dissipate.

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury
to persons, read the "Important Safety
Instructions" section before operating this
appliance.
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible tumble drying results.
1Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying
results if the items are made of the same
type of material. Close zippers and fasten
buttons or belts; sort the items and adjust load
and temperature.
Do not overload the drum!
Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying
results and wrinkling.
2Press the main power switch
until the display lights.
NOTE!
Power on
Press the on/offbutton for min. 1 sec and max.
5 sec.
Power off
Press the on/offbutton for min. 5 sec.
If the ON/OFF command is not correctly
accepted by the machine, wait min. 8 sec before
any further press.
3Open the door, load the items,
and then close the door
Make sure that objects e.g. detergent
dispensing balls, have been removed from the
laundry. They could melt and cause damage to
the dryer or the laundry.
To save energy, always observe the maximum
load for each programme (see Program chart).

4Select the program
Operating instructions
Guidelines as to what specific
programs can be used for:
Auto Heavy
Program with the maximum temperature. This
program is for items that are particularly difficult
to dry, such as jeans with very thick seams.
NOTE!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to
shrinkage. Use the Auto Normal, Auto Delicate,
or Auto Iron Dry programs for these items.
Stretch clothes back into shape immediately
after drying.
Auto Normal and Auto Delicate
These programs end automatically when the
load is dry. The Auto Normal program leaves
the laundry slightly more dry than Auto Delicate.
Auto Iron Dry
This program shuts offthe heat once the load is
just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Timed Dry
The most suitable program time depends
on what you intend to do with the items after
tumble drying them. Use trial and error to find
out what works best. When you use Timed Dry
to tumble dry a load of mixed fabrics, some of
the garments may remain damp. Tumble dry
any damp garments for a further 30 minutes
or so using the Timed Dry program. Select the
desired time by pressing the Delayed Start
button. A program time between 30 minutes and
3 hours can be selected and each button press
changes the time by 15 minutes.
NOTE!
When using the Timed Dry program with a
program time that is too long, the garments
can become "over-dry". This can cause items
to shrink or wrinkle and feel rough to the touch.
Synthetic materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
Air Fluff
Use the Air Fluffprogram when you just want to
refresh, air out, or soften up items.
Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed
Start button. A program time between 15
minutes and 3 hours can be selected and each
button press changes the time by 15 minutes.
Select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights next to the selected program. Use the
option buttons to select any options.

NOTE!
Clean the filters after each drying.
Do not replace the filters if they are damp or
wet. Damp or wet filters could cause operational
faults.
NOTE!
The dryer should never be operated without
the filters in place, or with damaged filters as
excessive amount of accumulated fibres from
the fabric could cause malfunction or failure of
the dryer.
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
solvents, as these can damage the machine. Do
not hose down or spray the machine with water.
NOTE!

machine. Keep the area around the tumble
dryer clean and cool; dust, heat, and moisture
prolong drying times.
