FOR A GOOD ENVIRONMENT
PACKAGING MATERIAL
The packaging that protects the drying cabinet
against damage in transit has been chosen with
concern for the environment in mind and is
therefore recyclable.
Recycled packaging means reduced consump-
tion of raw materials and lower levels of waste.
MANAGEMENT OF END-OF-LIFE
DRYING CABINET
When the drying cabinet has reached the end
of its life, it must be taken to a recycling centre
for disposal. Many parts can be re-used, but the
cabinet also contains other material that must
be handled correctly.You should therefore never
dispose of a drying cabinet or parts of a cabinet
with the domestic refuse as this can lead to health
risks and harm the environment.
Take the end-of-life drying cabinet to a recycling
station instead. Check with your dealer if neces-
sary.
All the plastic parts of the drying cabinet are
marked with internationally standardised sym-
bols. The parts can therefore be recycled in an
environmentally friendly way by waste separation.

_____________________________________________
The drying cabinet must be installed and kept indoors.
_____________________________________________
____________________________________________
The drying cabinet must not be installed where high-
pressure water jets are used for cleaning.
____________________________________________
The drying cabinet can conveniently be installed
above a front-loading washing machine.
____________________________________________

___________________________________
pFit the spigot supplied to the hose. Ax
the spigot and hose to the dryer top.
Connect the other end of the hose to the
draft stabilizer which should then be rmly
attached to the exhaust air valve.
When the drying cabinet is working, 45 m³ of moist air are evacuated per hour. This air is taken
from the room where the dryer is sited. Hence make sure air can enter the room to replace the
moist air leaving.
1. By means of a draft stabilizer
The drying cabinet should be connected to a standard register.
The drying cabinet can be connected to an exhaust duct in two ways: either with a draught inter-
rupter or rigidly connected to an exhaust air ventilation system.
If the drying cabinet is to be connected to an existing ventilation system, a draught interrupter must
always be used, so that the general ventilation in the room is not aected.
Only use a rigid connection when a separate exhaust air duct has been provided for the drying cabinet.
The air ow in the exhaust duct should be adjusted to 45 m³/hour.
The drying cabinet has been tested and set at the factory for connection with a draught interrupter.

USING THE DRYING CABINET
STARTING
1Place the articles to be dried in the drying
cabinet and shut the door. See the section
’Positioning the washing’.
2Set an appropriate temperature and drying
time. See the section ’Settings’.
In the cabinet there are three sections with hang-
ers. Every section has a number of rods on which
to hang the washing.
The optimised hanging system has extendable hangers.
p Hang the articles in the drying cabinet according
to how much room they require - not according
to their weight.
pFor optimum eciency - do not lay articles
at on the upper hanging section.
pPlace long clothes nearest to the walls of the
cabinet and shorter ones towards the centre.
By hanging the washing in this way the most
ecient drying results are attained.
p
Do not overload the drying cabinet.The washing
will become creased and dry unevenly. Instead,
leave a certain distance between items of wash-
ing, if this is possible.
pTo avoid the transferring of colours make sure
materials do not contact each other.
p
Avoid drying thick clothes at the same time as
lighter articles as they hold more moisture and
have completely dierent drying times.
pRemember not to hang knitted articles.These
can be stretched when they are heavy with
water.
POSITIONING THE WASHING
USER TIPS
Setting the controls
p Set the temperature and the time selector knobs
for the most delicate articles to be dried.
pThe temperature is changed by means of
the temperature selector knob which can be
turned in both directions.
Drying
pAlways follow the washing instructions on
clothes if such instructions are available.
pI
f a softening agent or antistatic substance is
used, the manufacturer’s instructions concerning
the utilisation of the product should be followed.
p Take out washing that is already dry. This reduces
drying time for the washing that is left.
_____________________________________
NOTE: The sealing strip in the door may not
function satisfactorily when cabinet is
cold, however as soon as cabinet warms
up, it will once again function.

AIR FLOW
The gure shows

Temperature Drying time
SETTINGS
The cabinet is provided with two selector knobs
for setting the positions for different power
capacities.
The left selector knob regulates heating capacity
by means of a continuous scale of temperature
positions.
The right selector knob regulates drying time by
means of a continuous scale up to four hours.
If a quick drying result is needed, turn the tem-
perature selector knob to its maximum and set
the timer to two hours. For a more normal drying
time, the temperature selector knob is set to a
point immediately after the beginning of the
semi-circle and the timer between three and
four hours.This means considerably lower energy
consumption.

__________________________________
NOTE: High-pressure cleaning should not be
used!
____________________________________
pThe walls of the cabinet should be cleaned
with a mild soap solution on a damp cloth.
pDust frequently gathers around the air intake
under and on top of the cabinet. This can
cause disturbances in the way the cabinet
functions which can, in turn, lead to a shut-
down.
To avoid this problem, the dust should be
removed by suction from the air intake and
the top of the cabinet at least once a year or
more often depending on the environment
the cabinet is placed in.
CARE
CLEANING REPLACEMENT PARTS
If the power cord is damaged, it must be im-
mediately replaced, and this must be done only
by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s service
agent or similarly qualied persons in order to
avoid danger.
SERVICE
Before contacting Service, you should nd out
the name, article and serial number of the cabinet.
