Your new tumble dryer This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather. Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance. Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.
Positioning Stacking kit It is recommended that, for your convenience, 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. A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of your washing machine. 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.

• Switch the appliance off by turning the programme selector dial to “0”. The mains-ON light goes out. Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 20 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer. • Clean the filter and empty the water reservoir (see page 13).
• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the special brief spin programme of your washing machine). Useful hints • Try to load to the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. For information, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items. Sheet 700 - 1000 g Tablecloth • You can also put starched items into your dryer.
You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. Also clean the outside, removing all fluff. Clean the rubber seal round the porthole door and the seal of the condenser in the inner door with a damp cloth. External cleaning Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could damage the condenser and make it permeable. Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
