2Safety and warnings
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Please read the following information. Otherwise, there may be the
risk of personal injury or material damage. Moreover, any warranty
and reliability commitment will become void.
General safety
Never place your machine on a carpet covered floor. The lack of airflow from below your
machine may cause electrical parts to overheat.
Your machine is designed to stop operating in the event of power resuming after a power failure.
You must press START/PAUSE/CANCEL button to resume the programme.
Press the START/PAUSE/CANCEL button for 3 seconds to cancel the programme
(See ‘Ending the programme through cancelling’ page 11).
Your machine should be operated at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including young children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision on instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
First use
When operating your machine for the first time, partly load it with wet items (eg old towels) and
let it run approximately for 15 minutes.
You may smell an unpleasant odour and excessive fibre/lint may accumulate during first
drying cycle.
For safety and performance purposes, clean the filter after each drying cycle.
Intended use
This product has been designed for home use.
The appliance may only be used for drying textiles that are marked accordingly.
Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place.
Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
Safety instructions
Unplug the machine when it is not in use.
Never wash down the appliance with water. There is the risk of electric shock!
Never touch the plug with wet hands. Never pull from the cable to unplug the machine.
Do not operate the machine if the power cord or plug is damaged.
Never attempt to repair the machine yourself.

To minimise the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, dry cleaning solvents, spot removers, turpentine, waxes or wax removers, should be
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as
in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated
by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with
extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items to
ensure they will not be damaged. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or
stacked while hot.
Important!
Never stop the tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat can dissipate.
The dryer should not be used for items cleaned using industrial chemicals.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber
like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects
of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
Plastic articles such as shower caps and waterproof textiles should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, fibre glass, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
If there are children in your house...
Electrical appliances may be dangerous for children. Keep children away from the machine when
it is operating. Do not let them tamper with the machine.
Close the loading door when you leave the area where the machine is located.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

8Selecting a programme and operating your machine
Main programmes
Depending on the type of textile, the following main programmes are available:
Cottons
You can dry your durable clothes with this programme as it dries at a higher temperature.
It is recommended to use for your cotton items (such as bed sheets, quilt cover,
underclothing, etc).
Synthetics
You can dry your less durable clothes with this programme, as it uses a lower temperature
compared to the cottons programme. It is recommended for your synthetic clothes (such as
shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended garments, etc).
Do not dry curtains and lace in your machine.
Wrinkle Guard
A two-hour anti creasing programme to prevent laundry from creasing will be activated if you do
not take the laundry out after the programme has come to an end. This programme rotates the
laundry in 60-second intervals to prevent creasing.
Delicates
A lower temperature for your very delicate laundry (silk blouses, fine underwear, etc) that is
suitable for tumble drying or laundry which is recommended to be hand-washed.
Freshen up
This 10 minute airing cycle blows cool air through your clothes. It is used to freshen clothes
and deodorise unpleasant odours on items that have been kept in closed environments for
long periods.
Timed programmes
Select one of the 10 min, 20 min, 40 min and 60 min timed programmes to achieve the desired
final drying level at low temperatures. The machine dries for the selected time regardless of
the level of moisture in your clothes. It is important to check the clothes throughout the longer
timed programmes to avoid overdrying.
