INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION SELECTING THE ROOM 10 cm 5 cm 10 cm Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear side should always be kept free. Do not install the appliance in a room where there is danger of frost. The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated, with temperature between 10°C and 25°C.

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. During the drying process, a control light will warm you of a full condensate tank which has to be emptied. Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be avoided by running the condensate discharge tube found at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to stabilize. Use the power cord to connect the dryer to the power mains through a power outlet.
MOVING AND TRANSPORT After transport, the dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to stabilize. We recommend that installation and connection should be done by a qualified person. SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT After each drying certain amount of condensed water is retained in the appliance.
EMPTYING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH STEAM GENERATOR) Before transporting a dryer that has been previously used, the steam generator tank must also be emptied. Otherwise, water from the tank may spill into the dryer interior. Move the dryer approximately 40 cm away from the wall and tilt it backwards.
STEAM GENERATOR SYSTEM (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL) Care and treatment of your laundry with steam. Use steam to straighten the creases and refresh the laundry.
