Advice and tips before you tumble-dry Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying. Materials that must not be tumble-dried Have the clothes been spun? This symbol means that the material is not suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials may melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat, and others can lose their shape or shrink. Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save both energy and drying time.

Installation Positioning the tumble dryer The tumble dryer can be free-standing or in a stack. Remember that the tumble dryer produces heat and should therefore not be located in a room that is too small. If the room is very small, drying will take longer due to the limited quantity of air. How to assemble the stack: 1. Undo the anti-tilt device. Caution! The machine must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to those of the tumble dryer. 2.
Installation 5. Fit the plastic cups so that the “tags” marked with arrows are against the front edge or side edge of the cover and press them firmly onto the cover. Then break off the remaining tags. Adjusting the feet Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble dryer is steady and balanced on the floor or on the washing machine. Then tighten the lock nuts. Locking nut 6. Push out the knock-out hole on the back of the dryer (you must not remove it, just open it) using a hammer and screwdriver.

If this appliance is supplied from a cord extensions set or electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension ser or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
