does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to
circulate freely.
• If the tumble dryer is placed on top of a washing
machine, it is compulsory to use the stacking kit
(optional accessory).
• This tumble dryer is designed to be vented
through to the open air. It should have its own
ventilation system which should not be joined with
any other ventilation system connected to any
other appliance.
Use

chart).

placed in the dryer.
• Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.
•Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that
have been in contact with inflammable solvents
(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and
the like). As these substance are volatile, they
could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items

following items:
• Cushions, quilts and the like (these items
accumulate heat).

not being used. This will allow the seal to be
preserved.

Energy saving tips
To save energy we recommend that you follow
these hints:
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to
be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried
together with laundry to be ironed. To do this,
select the programme “iron-dry”, remove the iron-
dry items at the end of the programme and then
finish-dry the rest of the laundry.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
• Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.
