Operation Manual

3
To avoid injuries, damages on the dryer and its surrounding area or even a fire,
you must observe the instructions below.
Packaging, damages, handling
• Keep the packaging foil away from children; danger of suffocation.
• Do not operate the dryer if it has been damaged during transport or later.
Inform the After-Sales Service.
• If the dryer was exposed to the cold before delivery, keep it at room
temperature for a few hours before installation. Cold temperatures can affect
the proper functioning of electronic parts.
• Never lift your dryer by holding it on extruding parts (e.g. door) or on the
worktop; parts might loosen or break and persons might get injured.
• For lifting the dryer, at least 2 persons are necessary, to avoid accidents.
• The dryer must be carried in an upright position.
Location and surrounding area
•The dryer is appropriate for indoor use only.
• Do not install the dryer in rooms with poor ventilation. If you want to install it in a
small storage room, toilet, bathroom or similar, assure a good ventilation (open
door, ventilation grid or slot larger than 500 cm²).
• Do not install the dryer where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures below
5°C or over 35°C, to avoid malfunction, damages to dryer parts or fire.
• The dryer must be placed with the back towards a wall, to avoid injuries by
touching the rear panel, which can become hot during the drying process.
• Do not store flammable fluids near the dryer, to prevent fires.
• Do not install the dryer behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a
hinge on the opposite side to the tumble dryer's door, in a way that a full opening
of the dryer door is restricted.
• Do not install the dryer on a deep pile carpet, to avoid that the ventilation
openings are clogged.
• Do not store flammable fluids near the dryer, to prevent fires.
• If you must install the dryer next to a gas or coal stove, you must fix a heat
insulating plate (85 x 57 cm) between dryer and stove; the plate's side pointing
towards the oven must be covered with aluminium foil, to protect the dryer
against high temperatures.
• Built-in installation of the tumble dryer is not permitted.
