Electrical connection

Connect the appliance to a properly in-
stalled earthed outlet, protected by a fuse
of adequate capacity.
Important:
• The connection must conform to the
applicable regulations in your country
and of your local Electricity Board.
• The power cable plug must be accessi-
ble after installation.
• For a firmly fixed connection a master
switch with at least 3 mm contact
clearance must be used.
• Voltage and fuse rating of the appli-
ance is stated on the rating label (on
the rear panel and behind the door).
Note down the appliance's model and
identification number from the rat-
ing label, in case you need help from
customer service.
• The stated voltage must match with
your mains voltage.
• Connection by extension cables or trail-
ing sockets is not permitted.
• When connecting to the mains, the
programme selector must be set to
Stop.
A damaged power cable must be re-
placed by an authorised qualified elec-
trician. Until the appliance has been
repaired it must not be operated! Risk
of electric shock!

The first time

• To remove any possible residue from
production wipe out the drum with a
moist cloth before the first drying cycle
• During the first drying cycle there may
be an annoyance caused by bad smell.
• Check to see if any water emerges
from the appliance during the drying
cycle. If necessary, push the drain hose
on more tightly.
• The current of the appliance can be
set according to the electrical
infrastructure and fuse rating of your
area. To change the current from 16 A
to 10 A: Set the programme selector to
>One piece<. Press the buzzer cancel
button for 3 seconds. 16 will appear on
the display. Press - button, 10 will appear
on display, the appliance is set to 10 A.
To change the current from 10 A to 16 A:
Follow the same route, this time press + to
change it to 16 A.

Before Drying

What can be dried

• The laundry should be spin-dried as
much as possible – to the extent per-
missible for the respective fabric.
Always observe the care symbols
shown on the garment labels!
Care symbols for drying
Suitable for drying at high
temperature:
Hot wash / coloured cottons,
cotton, linen
Suitable for drying at re-
duced temperature:
Easy-care synthetics (polyes-
ter, polyamide); mixed fabrics
(with cotton)
Drying in dryer not possible:
Sensitive fabrics, curtains etc.
• Tumble dry only textiles labelled ac-
cordingly – and only with the appro-
priate drying programme.
• Only woollens suitable for machine
wash may be put in the dryer; the cor-
responding special programme will
not dry but nicely soften it.
• If possible load textiles of the same
kind; thin tea towels will dry much
quicker than thick bath towels.
• Remove metal parts (buckles, etc.) or
put textiles in a linen bag or similar.
• Empty pockets, remove all foreign ob-
jects (coins, pens, etc.). Close zippers,
hooks and eyes.

What must not be dried

Do not load dripping wet laundry in
the dryer. The dryer may be damaged,
and the energy consumption will be
excessively high.
– Sensitive fabrics (silk, curtains, etc.)
may crease.
