Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the

following must not be dried in this
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following textiles must not be dried in
tumble dryer:
this tumble dryer:
– fabrics which contain a large
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example,
products made from latex foam
rubber, shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubberised articles and items
of clothing and pillows with foam
rubber filling.
– items which have not been washed.
– items, such as workwear, which have
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
– items which contain padding or
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these
were damaged the filling could get
out with the risk of igniting in the
dryer.
– items which have been treated with
inflamable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
In many programmes, the heating
~
phase is followed by a cooling down
phase to ensure that the items are not
too hot to handle when you remove
them (this also avoids the danger of the
laundry self-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down

remover or similar substances.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
~
dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately,
it could give off a great amount of heat.

products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's

that it is only an estimate!
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be
used to tailor drying programmes to suit
your individual requirements. In
programming mode, the display will
show the function selected.
The following factors all affect the
estimated time remaining: residual
moisture content after spinning; type of
fabric; size of load; room temperature;
fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the dryer and adjust the
estimated time remaining for a more
accurate reading. Because of this, the
time displayed can alter during the
course of a programme.

danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments or even
plastic components in the appliance.
Dark coloured fibres can also settle
on light coloured garments and vice
versa.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be partially dried using the Woollens

(available to order) to match your dryer
is required.
The appliance must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
,Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
around the pump. This water can run
out if the tumble dryer is tipped up
when it is being moved. It is a good
idea to run the Cool air programme for
approximately 1 minute before moving
the tumble dryer. Any remaining

condensed water will then be fed into
the condensed water container or out

^ There will be a small amount of
residual water in the drain hose.
Have a container ready to collect this.
General notes
When drying is in progress, condensed
water is pumped into the condensed
water container through the drain hose at
the back of the dryer. The condensed
water can also be drained off directly if
the tumble dryer is installed near a sink,
drain outlet etc. so that the condensed
water container does not have to be
emptied.

^ Unwind the hose and pull it carefully
out of the holders.
The following optional accessories are
available:
– an extension hose
– a non-return valve kit for connection
to an external condensed water outlet
(includes an extension hose).
Maximum delivery head with
non-return valve fitted: 1.00 m
Arranging the drain hose
^ Position the hose to the right or left
hand side as necessary.
,Do not pull on the drain hose and
do not stretch it or allow it to become
kinked as it could get damaged.
Leave the hose in the middle holder to
prevent it from becoming kinked
inadvertently.

Installation
External drainage via a sink or gully
Example: Connection to a sink drain
outlet
^ See "Front view" illustration.
The drain hose with non-return valve
fitted can be connected directly to a
suitable sink drain outlet.
,If you want to drain the water off
into a sink you will need to secure
the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a
tap to make sure it cannot slip
during use. Otherwise there is a risk
of overflowing water which could
cause damage.
^ Use the bow-shaped guide to prevent
the drain hose from becoming
kinked.
Installation conditions requiring a
non-return valve
,Certain installation conditions
require the fitting of a non-return
valve (available as an optional
accessory). A non-return valve will
prevent the risk of back-flow out of
the dryer which could cause
damage.
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the top:
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
A non-return valve is required:
– If the tumble dryer is connected to a
sink drain outlet (see the following
section).
– If the tumble dryer is connected to a
drainage system already in use by
another appliance, e.g. a dishwasher
or washing machine.

Installation
^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet
using nut 2.
If this nut has a flat disc in it you
should take the disc out first.
^ Attach the end of the hose 4 to
adapter 1.
^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip
3 up close to the nut.
,Non-return valve 5 has to be
fitted with the arrow pointing in the
direction of flow (i.e. towards the
sink). Otherwise water will not drain
out of the appliance.
