grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative

grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance (Canadian

have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

must be exhausted outdoors or the
equivalent. Do not exhaust into a

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).
