Before using your machine for the first time Do not tumble-dry Certain materials are sensitive to tumbledrying. Always check and follow an item’s laundry label. You can read more on page 9, “Before tumble-drying”. Note! When starting the tumble dryer for the first time or after a long period without use, you may notice a slight thumping sound. This is completely normal and will stop after a few loads. See the Quick guide on the last page.
Safety instructions General • Read and keep the Use & Care Guide! • Electrical installation, if required, should be carried out by qualified professionals. • The machine should only be used for tumble-drying as described in these instructions. • Repairs and maintenance relating to safety or performance must be carried out by a qualified professional. • Damaged mains cables must only be replaced by a qualified professional.
Child safety General Do not allow children to play with the tumble dryer. The tumble dryer has a magnetic catch, allowing the door to be opened from the inside. The door has a door-switch that automatically stops the tumble dryer when the door is opened. The tumble dryer does not start automatically when the door closes (e.g. if a child closes the door from inside).

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying. Has it been spun? Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster. Better spinning saves both energy and drying time. Laundry labels Materials that can be tumble-dried This symbol means that the material is suitable for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth and synthetic fibres.
Tumble-drying Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible tumbledrying results. 1 Sort your fabrics You will achieve the most uniform drying results if the items are the same material. Do up zips and buttons, fasten belts, sort the items and adjust load and temperature. 2 3 4 Turn on the main power switch Open the door, load the items and then close the door Select programme The choice of programme depends on what you intend to do with the items after tumbling.

A lighted red field by the button indicates that the option has been activated. If you change your mind, press the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds.

Care and cleaning Cleaning the fluff filter The fluff filter must be cleaned after each load. If you have very hard water, this can cause limescale deposits in the fluff filter. Check for any limescale deposits when cleaning the fluff filter and, if necessary, wash down the filter by hand. 1. Grasp the filter handle and pull it towards you. 2. Pull the filter out of its holder. Cleaning the outside of the machine Clean the outside of the machine and the programme panel with a mild cleaner.
Troubleshooting The machine will not start Check • that the outer door is properly closed • that the main power switch is pressed • that you have set the programme correctly • that the Delayed Start option has not been selected. If so, the time remaining until start will be shown in full hours in the display (e.g. 5, 4, 3h). To cancel the programme, see page 10 • that any plug is connected • that your home’s fuses (circuit breakers) are intact, swap two circuit breakers.

Service Before contacting the service division, you should find out whether the fault is anything you can take care of yourself. See the chapters “Troubleshooting” and “Care and cleaning”. If you do need to contact the service division after all, make sure you know the model designation, type designation and serial number. The model designation can be found in the stamped hole on the first page of the Use & Care. Type designation and serial number can be found on the type plate.
Installation Positioning the tumble dryer The tumble dryer can be positioned as freestanding or in a stack. Remember that the tumble dryer produces heat and should therefore not be located in a room that is too small. If the room is very small, drying will take longer due to the limited quantity of air. Caution! The machine must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to those of the tumble dryer. How to fit the stacker: 1.
Break off tag A on the cup fitted on the right side and tag B on the cup fitted on the left side. Then remove the paper from the selfadhesive surface under the plastic cups. A B 4. Fit the plastic cups so that the “tags” marked with arrows are against the front edge of the cover and side edge and press firmly onto the cover. Then break off the remaining tags. 5. Push the tumble dryer in under the metal angles, keeping the front edge raised 1 - 2 cm. 6.
Connection to evacuation duct The vent hose must use the shortest and straightest route possible from the tumble dryer to the evacuation duct. Trim or cut the vent hose if it is too long. If necessary, the vent hose can be extended to a maximum of 8 metres (inner diameter 102 mm). If a longer hose is needed, a larger inner diameter is required in order to maintain the tumble dryer’s fan capacity. Any bends must be as gradual as possible. If 90º bends are necessary, there must be no more than four.
Accessories If the vent hose runs to an outlet in the wall, you can prevent the inflow of cold air by fitting a ventilation grill. This grill can be installed either outside or inside. If there is only one evacuation duct from the room, a “draught check” must be fitted. Draught check These accessories can be purchased from your retailer.
Electrical installation The machine must only be connected to an earthed wall socket. Connection on delivery The machine is supplied as single-phase, 230V, heat output 2500W (see type plate) and has a 16A fuse. Any earth fault fuses must be type A. Alternative connection It is possible to switch over from 16A (heat output 2500) to 10A (heat output 1950W). Switching must be carried out as follows: 1. Shut off the power. 2. Press and hold the Start/Stop button, and switch on the power. 3.
Door hanging The tumble dryer comes with the door hung on the left. However, it is possible to change the door to right hung. 5.
