fied person in order to avoid hazard.

1 Safety precautions
1.3 Appliance-specific safety precautions
•Children under 3 years of age must be kept
away unless constantly supervised.
•The appliance has a maximum dry load capa-
city of 5kg.
•The appliance is only to be used with the re-
commended vaporizing medium. The use of
other substances may give rise to a toxic or
fire risk.
•The appliance has hot surfaces to evaporate
active components. These surfaces should not
be touched during use.
•The appliance may not be used if industrial
chemicals were used for cleaning.
•Clean the fluff filters regularly.
•Do not allow fluff to build up around the appli-
ance.
8

1 Safety precautions
•Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or
soaked with flammable chemicals, detergents
or solvents (benzene, alcohol, stain remover,
oil, turpentine, acetone, paint, wax, etc.). Fire
or explosion hazard! Wash materials contain-
ing such substances first by hand with water
or allow the solvent to evaporate completely.
•Items such as foam rubber (latex foam),
shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows with
foam rubber pads are not suitable for the ap-
pliance.
•Use softener as per the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
•Remove objects such as lighters and matches
and the like.
•WARNING: Never stop the appliance before
the end of the drying cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread out so that the
heat is dissipated.
9

1 Safety precautions
•If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor
ensure that any ventilation openings on the
base of the appliance are not obstructed.
•If the appliance is installed in a housing, the
ventilation openings are to be kept free of ob-
struction.
•Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue
which is used for exhausting fumes from appli-
ances burning gas or other fuels.
•Do not install the appliance behind a door that
locks, a sliding door or a door with a hinge
that lies opposite the hinge of the appliance.
•This appliance is equipped with an ultra-violet
lamp. Do not look directly into the light source.
10

1 Safety precautions
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
•Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources
such as in a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot es-
cape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-af-
fected items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable
that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking
oil or have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer they
should first be washed in hot water with extra
detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard.

4.1 Appliance description
The REFRESH-BUTLER uses steam and heat to refresh your clothes and re-
duce odours and creases. Additionally, the extra programme hygiene leaves
your washing germ free. The extra programme drying allows clothes that are
wet from the rain to be dried particularly gently.
The appliance operates with a closed air circuit. The air is heated up and hu-
midified by means of the heater and the boiler. The washing is refreshed by
hot steam and, depending on the setting, sanitized and creases removed. The
fresh water required for this is fed from a water tank. Odours are eliminated ef-
ficiently and lastingly through the use of a new technology called photocata-
lysis.
The appliance is also equipped with a heat pump. The washing is dried with
the help of the heat pump by extracting moisture from the air and then heating
up the air again. Recovering heat in this way sharply reduces energy con-
sumption. The resulting condensate is fed into the corresponding water tank.
