EN Health and Safety guide SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT TO BE READ AND OBSERVED Before using the dryer carefully read, Health and Safety and Use and Care guides. Keep these instructions close at hand for future reference. YOUR SAFETY AND SAFETY OF OTHERS IS VERY IMPORTANT. This manual and the dryer itself provide important safety warnings, to be read and observed at all times. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
out so that the heat is dissipated. The last phase of the drying cycle is done without heat (cool down phase), to assure that the laundry stays at a temperature level which is not leading to a damaging of the laundry. If you want to stack the dryer on a washing machine, first contact our After-Sales Service to verify if this is possible. Stacking of a dryer is only admitted if the dryer is safely fixed on the washing machine by using an appropriate stacking kit.
EN If, due to lack of space, the dryer must be installed directly next to a gas or coal stove, a heat insulating plate (85 x 57 cm) must be installed in between and the side of the plate facing the stove must be covered with aluminium foil. The dryer is not designed for built-in installation. The dryer can be installed under a worktop, provided that adequate ventilation of the dryer is assured.
Do not overdry the laundry. Take care that no lint or dust is accumulated around the dryer. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The dryer must be disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation. Never use steam cleaning equipment. SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT For dryer models with heatpump technology: This dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gas (R134a).
EN ENERGY SAVING TIPS Always dry a full load, depending on the type of laundry and the programme/ drying time. For more detailed information, see the programme chart. By preference use the maximum spin speed allowed by your washing machine, since draining the water mechanically requires less energy. You will save time and energy when running your drying cycle. Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results.
