SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
348248
Please don´t use the appliance unless you
have studied and understood the instruction
manual.
Your dryer is intended solely for household
use.
If the dryer is used for professional, for-profit
purpose or purpose exceeding normal use
in a household, or if the dryer is used by a
person who is not a consumer, the warranty
period shall be equal to the shortest warranty
period required by relevant legislation.
Before connecting the dryer to the power
mains, please read carefully the instructions
for use which describe the dryer and its
correct and safe use. The instructions apply
for several appliance types/models; thus,
settings or equipment may be described
herein which is not available in your dryer.
Failure to observe instructions or incorrect
use of the dryer, can lead to damage of
laundry, dryer or the user.
Store the instruction manual nearby the
dryer.
Do not allow the children to play with the
appliance.
Prevent your children and pets to enter the
dryer drum.
Air in the dryer environment should not
contain dust particles.
The air where the dryer is installed, should
be well ventilated to prevent feedback of
gases released from the gas appliances with
open fire (e.g. fireplace).
The dryer back wall can be hot danger of
burns.
Clean the filters after each drying cycle. If
you have removed the filters, replace them
before the next drying cycle.
Always switch off the dryer after use (the
program selector switch should be in the
"OFF" position) and unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet (to prevent the hazard of
lightning or voltage overload).
The dryer employs the heat pump system to
heat the air.
The system consists of a compressor and
heat exchangers.
After running the dryer, compressor
operation, or the sound of flowing liquid,
may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign
of malfunction and it will not affect useful life
of the appliance. In time, dryer operation and
this noise will become more quiet.
Leave any repairs and similar tasks on the
dryer to an expert.
Unprofessional repair may result in an
accident or major malfunction. Call the
authorized service department (see list of
service departments attached).
The warranty does not cover (consumables
(light bulbs), minor deviations in colour,
increased noise which is a consequence of
the appliance age and does not affect the
functionality of the appliance, and aesthetic
defects on components that do not affect
the functionality and safety of the appliance.

TO REDUCE FIRE HAZARD, PLEASE READ THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not dry in the dryer any laundry, that has not been
washed earlier.
Use the dryer only to dry laundry that was washed with
water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed of cleaned
with inflammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.
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
should not be dried in the dryer.
Laundry conditioners or similar products have to be used in
compliance with manufacturer's instructions.
The appliance is manufactured in
compliance with all effective safety
standards.
Nevertheless, we recommend it is not used
by persons with impaired physical or mental
abilities and motor skills, or persons with
deficient experience or knowledge, without
due supervision. The same recommendation
applies to the use of appliance by minors.
Never stop the drying cycle before it is
completed; if you do interrupt the cycle
for any reason, be careful when removing
the laundry from the drum as it is very hot.
Quickly remove the laundry from the drum
and spread it to allow it to cool down as
quickly as possible.

INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION
SELECTING THE ROOM
10 cm
10 cm
5 cm
348248
Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear side should always be kept free.
Do not install the appliance in a room where there is danger of frost.
The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated, with
temperature between 10°C and 25°C. When the dryer is operated at a lower ambient
temperature, condensate can accumulate in the appliance interior. Frozen water in the
condensate tank or pump may damage the dryer.
The surrounding illumination in the installation room should be adequate to read the front
panel properly.
When installing the dryer in a room, note the required clearance as indicated in the image.
In case of failure to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.

11
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
4X
348248
Positioning the appliance on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feets or
side by side.
Dryer can be stand freely on the floor or on a washing machine of the same dimensions
– minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is
placed should be clean and level.
Use the vacuum feet attached; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding.
(Vacuum feet are attached or can be purchased (depending on model))
Washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight
of the dryer (see washing machine's rating plate or technical information).

12
348248
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door or door
with a hinge opposite the dryer. Install the dryer in such way
that the door can always be freely opened.
Never block the cool air opening (see dryer description).
Drying machine on top should be placed by at least two
persons.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may
impede air circulation.
The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent
furniture.

13
INSTALLATION
348248
Level the dryer in
longitudinal and
traverse direction
by rotating the
adjustable feet
which allow levelling
by +/- 1 cm. Use
key nr. 22 and spirit
level.
Floor on which the machine is placed must have a concrete
base. They must be clean and dry; otherwise, the machine may
slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.
The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
Vibrations, moving of the appliance across the room, or loud
operation due to improperly adjusted feet are not covered by
the warranty.
Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during
appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper
installation.

14
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
max 80 cm
348248
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit
and accumulated in the condensate tank.
During the drying process, a control light will warm you of a full
condensate tank which has to be emptied.
Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be
avoided by running the condensate discharge tube found at the
back of the appliance directly into a drain.
If the condensate discharge tube is run into a drain, make sure
the tube is firmly secured. This will prevent any water spillage
which could result in unexpected damage.
In this case, the steam generator tank will not be filled
automatically. It will always require manual filling (see section
Filling and replenishing the steam generator tank).
1Pull the tube to remove it with
flat screw-driver,
from the holder on
the appliance back
wall (on the left
hand side under the
cover).
2Install tube into the drain, at
a height of 80 cm
from the ground.

15
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
2h
348248
The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours
before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to
stabilize.
Use the power cord to connect the dryer to the power mains
through a power outlet. The dryer may not be connected to the
power mains through an extension cable (danger of overheating
and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is given on the
rating plate located under the door frame.
To prevent from damage by excess voltage on the mains due
to lightning strike we recommend to use a class I over-voltage
protector between the machine and the mains.
After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible.
The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in
compliance with the relevant regulations).
A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person
authorized by the manufacturer.

16
SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT
MOVING AND TRANSPORT
348248
After each drying cycle, a small amount of condensed water
will remain in the pump section. Switch on the appliance and
choose one of the programs, then let the appliance operate for
approximately half a minute. This will pump out the remaining
water and prevent damage to the dryer during transport.
If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the
instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least two
hours before it is reconnected to the power mains. Failure
to do so may result in a heat pump failure which shall not be
covered by the warranty.
Be careful not to damage the cooling system.
If the dryer cannot be transported in the upright position, tilt it to the left side.
After transport, the dryer should be left to stand still for at
least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to
allow the system to stabilize. We recommend that installation
and connection should be done by a qualified person.
The belt can be replaced by a servising engineer only, who
incorporates an original spare part with the marking OPTIBELT
EPH 1906, code 104265, OPTIBELT 8 EPH 1941, code 160165
(depending on model).
Before connecting the appliance, read the instructions for
use. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect
connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the
warranty.

17
EMPTYING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK
(ONLY FOR MODEL WITH STEAM GENERATOR)
348248
Before transporting a dryer that has been previously used, the
steam generator tank must also be emptied. Otherwise, water
from the tank may spill into the dryer interior. Move the dryer
approximately 40 cm away from the wall and tilt it backwards.
1The steam
generator tank
emptying plug is
located on the front
side (lower right
hand side).
2Place an empty vessel under the
plug (approximately
2 l) and pull out the
plug
3When the water is discharged,
replace the plug
(if the plug is not
replaced, water will
spill from the dryer
during the next
drying cycle).

18
STEAM GENERATOR SYSTEM
(DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)
IONIZER SYSTEM
(CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)
348248
After the end of the drying program, immediately remove the
laundry from the dryer to prevent it from creasing again.
Care and treatment of your laundry with steam.
Use steam to straighten the creases and refresh the laundry. The
laundry will become soft and smooth, making ironing much easier
Ionizer adds negative ions into the dryer drum, which has a
positive effect on the laundry.
The fibre will be flexible and your clothes will be tender and easy
to iron. The process takes place during the drying programs.

19
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
12
348248
Clean the dryer
drum before using
the dryer for the first
time. Use a damp
cloth and a mild
cleaning agent.
Open the disconnected dryer by pressing the door on the left side.

20
348248
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST
TIME
(MODEL WITH STEAM GENERATOR)
If you select one of the steam programs as the first program to be run with your dryer,
first add distilled water to the steam generator tank; the dryer needs the distilled water to
generate steam.
If the steam generator tank is empty, none of the steam programs will be available.
"LO" (steam generator tank empty) will appear on the display. Later, the system is
automatically filled with condensed water accumulated during the drying process.
Only use distilled water. Do not use regular tap water or any
additives. Limescale may damage the heater. Malfunction or
failure due to accumulation of limescale is not covered by the
warranty.
Add distilled water when the appliance is switched on and one
of the steam programs is selected (but before starting any
drying program). Otherwise, the level sensor will not operate
and water may overflow to the dryer interior.
