Nevertheless, as manufacturer we have to draw your attention to the following safety instructions. Safety of children • General safety • • • • • • • • • • • 4 Repairs of the dryer may be carried out only by trained personnel. Incompetently carried out repairs can entail considerable hazards for the user.
Installation and connection • • • • • Check the dryer for Transportation damage. Never connect-up a damaged appliance! Contact your supplier if the appliance is damaged. If the tumble dryer has to be carried, first remove the plinth! Do not set-up the dryer in frost-endangered rooms! Set-up the dryer horizontal! If the dryer is placed adjacent to a gas, coal or electric cooking stove, interpose a thermally insulating non-combustible plate between the dryer and the stove (dimensions: 85x57,5cm).
2 Environmental protection tips • • • Your laundry will become light and soft in the tumble dryer even without a fabric softening agent. Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well spun. Remove as much water as possible from the washing before drying! This is based on the principle: the better you spin the washing before drying the more economical the dryer is.
