General Information

• Starched washing leaves traces of starch on the
drum and therefore should not be placed in the
tumble dryer.
• If you exceed the maximum load stipulated in the
program table your washing is more likely to get
creased! For very delicate fabrics you should only
fill in 1.5kg washing at the most.

Disposal

Packaging

Dispose of the packaging material!
Dispose of the packaging material of your tumble
dryer correctly. All the packaging materials used are
harmless to the environment and can be recycled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard interna-
tional abbreviations:
– >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping
material
– >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding mate-
rial (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic
clips
Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled
paper and should be deposited in the waste paper
collection for recycling.
• Do not place the dryer on high-pile carpet floors!
This would hinder air circulation at the ventilation
slots!
• The electric power plug connector of the appli-
ance must remain accessible even after installa-
tion.
• Check that the tumble dryer is not standing on the
mains cable.
• The technical conditions of the electric power sup-
ply company for making fixed connections of elec-
trical appliances to the mains require that such
connections may only be made by an authorised
electrician.
• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is
caused by being worn, 20 per cent by washing
and only 10 per cent by being dried in a tumble
dryer. As the fabric is worn down, fluff gathers in
the fluff filter. When using a tumble dryer, only
approx. 0.03g fluff per kilogramme washing is pro-
duced.
Disposal of the old appliance!
When you eventually stop using your tumble dryer
please bring it to the nearest recycling centre or to
your dealer who will take it back for a small fee.
Warning! When disposing of the tumble
1
dryer, pull out the plug, cut off the flex, dis-
pose of the plug and remaining flex and
destroy the door lock. This hinders children
from locking themselves in and endangering
their lives.
The materials can be recycled in accordance with
their markings. Standard tools (crosshead screw-
driver, hammer) are sufficient to dismantle the old
appliance.
