Page 4: Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE! WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using the appliance. 2.
Page 5 9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. 10. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials. 11. Clean lint screen before or after each load. 12.
Page 6 These instructions for use of a dryer are supplied with different types or models of dryers. Therefore, they may include descriptions of settings or equipment that are not available in your dryer. Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate use of the dryer may result in damage to the laundry or the appliance, or injury to the user.
Page 7 After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains. At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine. WARNING: The dryer may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.
Page 8 WARNING: Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely opened. Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening). WARNING: Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.
Page 9 Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives, stain removers, turpentine, wax, and wax removers should be washed in a washing machine with hot water and detergent before it is dried in the dryer. Clothing that includes latex, rubber parts, shower and bathing caps, and laundry or covers with rubber foam may not be dried in the dryer.
Page 10 WARNING: Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents that could damage the dryer (please observe the recommendations and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning agents). After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord from the power outlet. Never add chemicals or fragrances into the condensate tank (see chapter »DESCRIPTION OF THE DRYER and EMPTYING THE CONDENSATE TANK«).
Page 11 CHILD SAFETY Do not allow children to play with the dryer. Prevent your children and pets from entering the dryer drum. Before closing the dryer door and running the programme, make sure there is nothing except laundry in the drum (e.g. if a child climbed into the dryer drum and closed the door from the inside).
Page 12 WARNING: DANGER OF HOT SURFACE At higher drying temperatures, the door glass will heat up. Be careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play near the door glass. The back of the dryer may get very hot during operation. Wait for the dryer to cool down completely before touching its back side.
Page 13 SAFETY WARNING: Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned with flammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline, trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.

WARNING: Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer. WARNING: To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions. WARNING: Save these instructions.
Page 19: Selecting The Room
SELECTING THE ROOM 4" (10 cm) 2" (5 cm) 4" (10 cm) The dryer may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum dryer operation, we recommend observing the clearance from the walls as indicated in the figure. In case of failure to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.
Page 20 DRYER PLACEMENT If you also have a dryer of corresponding (same) dimensions, it can be placed on top of the washing machine; in this case, vacuum feet must be used. Alternatively, the dryer can be placed next to the washing machine (figures 1 and 3). If your washing machine is smaller (minimum depth 21½"...
Page 21 Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely opened. Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation. 90°...
Page 22: Adjusting The Dryer Feet
ADJUSTING THE DRYER FEET Level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet which allow levelling by +/- ½" (+/- 1 cm). Use a spirit level and spanner No. 22. Floor on which the dryer is placed must have a concrete base. It should be clean and dry; otherwise, the dryer may slide.
Page 23: Draining The Condensate
DRAINING THE CONDENSATE The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. During the drying process, an indicator light (symbol (8) is lit on the display unit) warns when the condensate tank is full and needs to be emptied. To avoid emptying the condensate tank, run the condensate discharge hose located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.
Page 24: Connecting To The Power Mains
CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains; this allows the dryer to stabilize. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
Page 25: Electrical Installation
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION The receptacle on the rear of the machine is designed to accommodate washers ONLY (rated 208–240 V.) To use this receptacle, you must use the ready-fitted plug supplied with the washing machine or an equivalent. Washers rated 208–240 V have two internal fuses of 15 A each.
Page 26 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Read the Electrical requirements and grounding instructions before connecting the tumble dryer. Electric models of the dryer are manufactured for a 3-wire connection system. The dryer frame is grounded by a link to the neutral conductor on the dryer terminal block. If local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral, the grounding link from the terminal block must be removed and a separate ground wire must be used.
Page 27: Moving And Transport After Installation
MOVING AND TRANSPORT AFTER INSTALLATION After every drying cycle, a small amount of condensed water will remain in the dryer. Switch on the dryer and choose one of the programmes, then let the appliance operate for approximately half a minute. This will pump out the remaining water and prevent damage to the dryer during transport. If the dryer cannot be transported in the upright position, tilt it to the left side.
Page 28: Before Using The Appliance For The First Time
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME Make sure the dryer is disconnected from the power mains; then, open the door by pulling the left side of the door towards you (figures 1 and 2). Before using the dryer for the first time, clean the dryer drum using a soft damp cotton cloth and water (figure 3).
