General
Please read the instruction manual and save it for future
reference.
•Please do not use the tumble dryer if you have not read
and understood these instructions or use first.
•Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate
use of the tumble dryer may result in damage to the laundry
or appliance, or injury to the user.
•Appliance is intended to be used in an area open to the
public.
•Before connecting the dryer to the power mains, please read
carefully the instructions for use that describe the dryer and
its correct and safe use. The instructions apply to several
appliance types or models; thus, settings or equipment may
be described herein which is not available in your dryer.
•Leave any repairs and similar tasks on the dryer to an expert.
Unprofessional repair may result in an accident or major
malfunction.
•After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours
before it is connected to the power mains.
4

•At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer
on top of a washing machine.
•The dryer shall not be connected to the power mains using
an extension cord.
•Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet
intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
WARNING!
If the power cord is damaged, it has to be replaced by
the manufacturer, an authorized service technician, or a
similarly qualified person, in order to avoid any hazards.
•WARNING!
The appliance shall not be supplied through an external
switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a
circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
•After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord
from the power outlet.
If you have a tumble dryer with a 3-phase connection, do
not pull the plug out of the power outlet.
•The appliance shall be disconnected from the power source
during servicing and replacement of parts. Removal of the
plug has to be such, that an operator can check, from any
of the points to which he has access that the plug remains
removed.
•In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or
servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the
cost of any damage.
5

•Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust particles.
The air where the dryer is installed should be thoroughly
ventilated to prevent reverse flow of gases released from the
gas appliances with open fire (e.g. fireplaces).
•Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels used
for appliances or devices that use natural gas or other fuels
for their operation (only applies to the evacuation dryer).
•Clean the door net filter after each drying cycle.
•Do not dry unwashed laundry in the dryer.
•Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives,
stain removers, turpentine, wax, and wax removers should
be washed in a washing machine with hot water and
detergent before it is dried in the dryer.
•Clothing that includes latex, rubber parts, shower and bathing
caps, and laundry or covers with rubber foam shall not be
dried in the dryer.
•Use laundry conditioners or similar products in compliance
with manufacturer's instructions.
•Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners,
or all-purpose cleaners.
•Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or
door with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer door
hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always
be freely opened.
•Never block the air vents.
6

•Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this
may impede air circulation.
•The air in the room where the dryer is installed may not
contain dust particles.
•Make sure the fibres do not accumulate around the dryer.
•DANGER OF FIRE!
Remove all objects such as lighters and matches from
the pockets.
•After installation, wait for 24 hours before using the appliance.
If the dryer has to be laid down on one of the sides during
transport or servicing, place it with its left side, viewing from
the appliance front, downwards (only applies to dryers with
a heat pump).
•The appliance shall not be in contact with a wall or adjacent
furniture.
•If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already
used for another appliance, a non-return valve must be
installed. Reverse flow into the dryer could damage the
appliance, and the non-return valve prevents such reverse
flow (only applies to the evacuation dryer).
•A float will switch off the appliance if the condensed water
pipe is clogged or if there is a risk of overflowing of the
condensed water accumulated in the condensed water tank
(only applies to the evacuation dryer).
7

•If you wish to move the dryer or store it in a non-heated room
during winter, it is essential that you first empty the
condensed water tank (only applies to the condenser dryers
and dryers with a heat pump).
•Maximum drying capacity in kg is indicated on the rating
plate.
Safety
•DANGER OF FIRE!
Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with
water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned
with flammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.
•If you have cleaned your clothes with industrial cleaners or
chemical substances, do not dry them in the dryer.
•If the air exhaust hose is connected to an opening in the wall,
influx of cool air may be prevented by installing a ventilation
grille. (Only applies to evacuation dryer.) .
•The air exhaust hose shall not be connected to an active
chimney used to evacuate smoke or waste gases; into a
shaft intended for ventilating rooms with combustion
equipment; or into a chimney used by third parties. If smoke
or waste gases return to the room where the dryer is installed,
there is a danger of poisoning (only applies to evacuation
dryer).
•The dryer is protected with an automatic switch-off system
in case of overheating. The system switches off the heater
if the temperature is too high (only applies to evacuation and
condenser dryer).
8

•If the net filter is clogged, the automatic heater switch-off
device can be triggered. See chapter "CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE" (only applies to evacuation and condenser
dryer).
•HOT SURFACE!
WARNING! The back of the dryer may get very hot
during operation. Wait for the dryer to cool down
completely before touching its back side. (Observe
the instructions in the chapter "INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION")
•HOT SURFACE!
Never stop a drying cycle or do not open the door before
the end of the program. If you do so for any reason, be
careful when taking the laundry from the drum as it can
still be very hot and there is a risk of burning.
Quickly remove the laundry from the drum and spread it
to allow it to cool down as quickly as possible.
Child safety
•Do not allow the children to play with the dryer.
•Prevent your children and pets from entering the dryer drum.
•Before closing the dryer door and running the program, make
sure there is nothing except laundry in the drum (e.g. if a

Free-standing appliance
The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing
machine.
If the friction between the dryer feet and the floor
is not sufficient, the dryer may move during oper-
ation. To prevent sliding, use a non-slide mat or
install the supplied vacuum feet onto both front
feet.
Place the dryer so that it is stable. Use a spirit
level to level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse
direction by rotating the adjustable feet using a
