Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically if you: – always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed; – use the loading volumes specified in the pro- gramme overview; – ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room; – clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle; – spin the laundry well before drying. Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning speed - lower energy consumption. Installation Important! The appliance must be moved in vertical position for transport. Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the ma- chine is positioned close to your washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appli- ance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.

• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. Important!

• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach tem- peratures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.

• When operating the tumble dryer, the room tempera- ture must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appli- ance.

• Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

• The appliance must not be installed behind the lock- able door, a sliding door a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance in such a way that a full opening of the dryer is restricted. Removing transport safety packaging Caution! Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed.

41. Open loading door 2. Pull off adhesive strips

from inside machine on top of drum.

3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene padding from the

machine. Electrical connection Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses required should be taken from the type plate. The type plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see “Product de- scription” chapter). Warning! The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precautions. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Center. Warning! The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.
