IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

￿Allow the dryer to complete each stage of the program selected, including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items being removed are not too hot to handle.

￿Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these Operating instructions. Repairs to appliances should only be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

￿Clean the lint filter before or after each load.

￿Keep the area around the air intake (toe-kick) and adjacent surrounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.

￿The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified personnel.

￿Danger of suffocation or toxication Adequate ventilation is essential, especially when another appliance which also uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. Allow sufficient room ventilation by unlockable ventilation openings in the wall.

Check with your building inspector for a riskless use to avoid a low pressure of 4 Pa or more.

￿The dryer must only run if the moist exhaust air is conducted outside by an installed exhaust duct vent. Provide sufficient venting in the room where the dryer is installed, e.g. by opening a window.

￿This dryer must not be used without an exhaust hose, lint filter or a damaged lint filter.
