before the drying cycle has
finished, this prevents the
laundry from cooling down
sufficiently and may cause the
laundry to ignite, or may result
in material damage or damage
to the appliance.
■During the last part of the
drying cycle, the laundry in
the drum is not heated
(cooling cycle). This is to
ensure that it remains at a
temperature at which it will
not be damaged.
■Do not switch off the
appliance before the drying
cycle has finished unless you
remove all items of laundry
from the drum immediately
and spread them out (to
dissipate the heat).
:Warning
Risk of poisoning!
Poisonous fumes may be given
off by cleaning agents that
contain solvents, e.g. cleaning
solvent.
Do not use cleaning agents that
contain solvents.
:Warning
Risk of injury!

on the appliance door when
it is open, the appliance may
tip over, which may result in
injury.
Do not support your weight
on the appliance door when
it is open.

scalding if you come into
contact with hot detergent
solution (e.g. when draining hot
detergent solution into a
washbasin).
