Before using your machine for the first time Laundry labels Certain materials are not suitable for tumble-drying. Always check and follow the instructions on each item’s laundry label. You can find more information in the Advice and tips before you tumble-dry chapter. NOTE! When starting the tumble dryer for the first time or after a long period without use, you may notice a slight thumping noise. This noise is completely normal and will disappear after a few loads.
Safety instructions Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place! • Electrical installation, if required, should be carried out by a qualified electrician. • The machine should only be used for tumble-drying as described in these instructions. • Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified professional. • Damaged mains cables must only be replaced by a qualified electrician.
Safety instructions To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed: • Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a 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.
Child safety General WARNING! Do not allow children to play with the tumble dryer. • If the door is opened when a program is running the garments may be very hot, with a risk of burn injuries. • The tumble dryer does not start automatically when the door is closed (if a child pulls the door shut from the inside, for example).

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying. Have the clothes been spun? Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster.
