Caution!
Risk of material damage to the
dryer or fabrics
■Only use the dryer for drying
and freshening up fabrics at
home and for fabrics that
have been washed with
water and are suitable for
tumble-drying.
Any other use is not
considered intended use and
is prohibited.
■Foamed material or foam
rubber may become
deformed or melt during
drying. Do not dry any
laundry that contains foamed
material or rubber.
■Do not lean or sit on the

protection
Environmentalprotection Packaging/old appliance
)
Dispose of packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
This appliance is designated according
to European directive 2012/19/EC
which governs waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE).
The directive provides a framework
for the collection and recycling of old
appliances, which is valid across
the EU.
Coolant
The dryer's heat exchanger contains
fluorinated greenhouse gas in a
hermetically sealed unit.
Dispose of the dryer properly.
Energy-saving tips
■Spin the laundry before drying. The
drier the laundry, the shorter the
drying time will be, thus consuming
less energy.
■Load the dryer with the maximum
load.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programs, as this
prolongs the drying time and
increases energy consumption.
■Ventilate the room and keep the air
inlet on the dryer free to ensure air
exchange.
■Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle. If the fluff filter is dirty, the
drying time is prolonged and energy
consumption is increased.
■Energy saving mode: If the dryer is
not operated for a prolonged period,
it automatically switches off before
the program starts and when the
program has ended to save energy.
The display panel and indicator
lamps go off after a few minutes and
the Start button flashes. To activate
the lighting, press any button, open
or close the dryer door or turn the
program selector.
