the product.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed
when washing.
• Filtered condensed water can be used for ProSteam programmes.
• Your dryer will function most economically if you:
– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;
– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;
– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;
– clean micro filter and fine filter after every drying or ProSteam programme;
– spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning
speed - lower energy consumption.

Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic com-
ponents are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging
materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.
WARNING!
When disposing of old appliances, remove the mains cable and dispose of together with
the plug. Remove the door hook and ensure it is no longer lockable to prevent young
children being trapped inside.

Installation

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your
washing machine.
• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.
• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front
ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed
on a firm, level surface.
• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with
the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile
carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere
with the operation of the appliance.
