SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
540580
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.

540580
A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a
person authorized by the manufacturer.
Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust
particles.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuels.
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.

6
540580
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.
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.

7
540580
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.

8
540580

SELECTING THE ROOM
10 cm
10 cm
5 cm
540580
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.

15
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
4X
540580
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).

16
540580
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.

17
INSTALLATION
540580
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.

18
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
max 80 cm
540580
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.

19
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
2h
540580
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.

20
SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT
MOVING AND TRANSPORT
540580
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.
