INSTALLATION

Appliance positioning
• It is recommended that, for your conven-
ience, 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.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of
children's reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not
climb inside the drum.
components are identified by markings, e.g.
>PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the
packaging materials in the appropriate con-
tainer at the community waste disposal fa-
cilities.
Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and
soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore
needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most economical-
ly 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 the micro-fine filter and fine
strainer after each drying cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on spin-
ning speed set in washing machine.
Higher spinning speed - lower energy
consumption.
• To keep vibration and noise to a mini-
mum 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.
