- Never use flammable sprays or substances in the immediate proximity of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a solid (concrete) base that is level and stable.

• Adjust the adjustable feet of the appliance to ensure the appliance is standing level and balanced.

• After installation, let the dryer rest still for 24 hours before using it. Failure to do so may result in a heat pump failure which shall not be covered by the warranty.

• If the dryer has to be laid down on one of its sides during transport or servicing, place it on its left side downwards as seen from the appliance front.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, wait at least 2 hours to allow it to reach room temperature.
• Dispose the packaging materials according to local regulations. Keep the material out of reach of children. Danger of suffocation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• Connect the appliance to an earthed power socket protected by a fuse that complies with the values on the rating plate.
  • Particularly make sure that the appliance is not placed on the power cord.

To avoid danger, a damaged power cord may only be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons.

If the appliance is damaged, it must not be operated until it is repaired by the manufacturer, service agent or similarly qualified persons.

- The appliance may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.

Do not connect the appliance to the power mains using an external switch device such as a programme timer, or connect it to a power mains that is regularly switched on and off by the power supply provider.

• Do not connect the appliance to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
• The mains plug must be accessible after installation.

Never use an extension cord or multiple plugs for making a connection.

Do not pull the plug out of the power socket if there is flammable gas around.

Never pull out the plug with wet hands.

Always unplug the appliance when it is not being used.

• Connection to the power supply has to be executed by an adequately trained technician or expert.

EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD

• WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Please do not dry clothes with any flammable substances such as kerosene or alcohol. Otherwise, there may be an explosion.
• The appliance contains an environmentally friendly but flammable R290 refrigerant. Keep away from open flame and other sources of ignition.
• The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
• 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 escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or having been contaminated by hair care products are placed in a tumble dryer, these items should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Openings must not be obstructed.
• The dryer filter has to be cleaned frequently.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

• Do not drink the condensate water.
• Do not use the dryer without the condensate tank.

Clean the filters

This dryer has a primary door lint filter.

Make sure you clean the door filter after each cycle.

NOTE!

- To ensure the double-layer filter can be closed smoothly, the arrows at both ends need to be aligned, and the middle slot and the rib need to be aligned.

Cleaning the dryer filter

1. Open the door.
2. Take out the filter.
3. Open the filter and remove the fluff. You can clean it with water. Throw the removed fluff away in the rubbish bin. Do not wash it down the sink to prevent micro plastics from getting in the waste water.
4. Dry the filter thoroughly before installing it again, or let it air dry for a few hours before installing it again.

NOTE!

• The lint accumulated on the dryer filter will block the air circulation, which will result in a longer drying time and increased energy consumption. Therefore, the dryer filter must be cleaned after each use.
  • Take notice of the correct orientation before inserting the dryer filter.
• Do not operate the dryer without the dryer filter!
• Clean the dryer filter after each use to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Please clean the condenser unit approximately once every 3 months if it is frequently used. Do not damage the condenser unit!

1. Leave the dryer to cool down.
2. Residual water may leak out, place an absorbent cloth under the maintenance cover.
3. Unlock the maintenance cover.
4. Completely open the maintenance cover.
5. Remove lint and fluff from the condenser unit using a vacuum cleaner with a dusting brush attached. Do not apply any pressure. Otherwise, the condenser unit could be damaged. The dryer will not dry if the cooling fins are damaged or bent.
6. Clean the seals.
7. Close the maintenance cover until it locks into position.

Foreign objects removal

If foreign objects fall inside the compartment below the filter, remove the filter, open the heat exchanger area compartment and remove the foreign object. Make sure not to touch the heat exchanger with bare hands to avoid injuries.
