EN 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. Install a ventilation grid (minimum 45 cm x 8 cm), in the rear part of the worktop under which the dryer is installed. ELECTRICAL WARNINGS Make sure the voltage specified on the rating plate corresponds to that of your home. For installation to comply with current safety regulations, an omnipolar switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm is required.
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). The circuit containing this gas is hermetically sealed. The electrical switchgear has a tested leakage rate of less than 0,1% per year.
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.
