
To ensure problem-free operation of the tumble dryer:
- Clean the surface of the fluff filter after each drying cycle.
- In addition, the fluff filter and the air passages must be cleaned when prompted by the
display.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following items must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil or
other deposits (such as kitchen linens or cosmetics cloths with cooking oils, grease, lo-
tions, etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might
ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the tumble dryer at the
end of the programme.
- Items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with inflammable cleaning
agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain
remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
- Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or
similar substances.
Wash heavily soiled items thoroughly by increasing the amount of detergent and selecting
a high washing temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost. At temperatures
around freezing point, the tumble dryer may not be able to operate properly. The permitted
room temperature is between 2 °C and 40 °C.

Remove all items from the pockets of the laundry to be dried (e.g. lighters, matches,
keys).

In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling down phase to ensure
that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also avoids the
danger of the laundry self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down
phase is complete. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before re-
moving the laundry.

Fire hazard due to controllable socket. This tumble dryer must not be connected to a
controllable socket (e.g. a timer). There is a risk of the laundry self-igniting if the tumble
dryer's cooling phase is interrupted.

The programme ends when the cooling phase starts. Many programmes are followed by
the cooling phase to ensure that the items of laundry are kept at a temperature that will not
cause them damage (for instance to prevent the risk of the laundry self-igniting). Always re-
move all items of laundry from the tumble dryer immediately after the cooling phase.

Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on
the manufacturer's packaging.

Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not be stored or used near
the machine. Danger of explosion.

Do not expose the dryer to air which is contaminated with vapour of chlorine, fluorine or
other solvents. Danger of fire.
