Your machine is designed to stop operating in the event of power resuming after a power failure. You must press “Start/Pause/Cancel” button to resume the program. Press the

“Start/Pause/Cancel” button for 3 seconds to cancel the program (See, Canceling a

Program)

Your machine can be operated at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.

First Use

Do not neglect to have the grounding installation made by a qualified electrician. Our company shall not be liable for any damages that may arise when the machine is used on a line without grounding.

Please call the Authorized Service to commission your machine.

When operating your machine for the first time, partly load it with wet pieces of clothes and let it run approximately for 15 minutes.

You may smell an unpleasant odor and excessive fibre/lint may accumulate during first drying cycle.

For safety and performance purposes, clean the filters after each drying cycle.

Intended use

The appliance may only be used for drying of textiles that are marked accordingly.

Safety instructions

Unplug the machine when it is not in use.

Never wash down the appliance with water! There is the risk of electric shock!

Never touch the plug with wet hands. Never pull from the cable to unplug the machine. Do not operate the machine if the power cord or plug is damaged.

Never attempt to repair the machine yourself.

For malfunctions that cannot be solved by information in the operating manual: Turn off and unplug the appliance and call an authorized service agent.

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

Items that have been spotted

or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of

the items. They should not be removed from the

tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot. Warning : Never stop tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat dissipated.

• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/ gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
