Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following must not be dried in this
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
tumble dryer:
following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:
– fabrics which contain a large
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example,
products made from latex foam
rubber, shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubberised articles and items
of clothing and pillows with foam
rubber filling.
– items which have not been washed.
– items, such as workwear, which have
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
– items which contain padding or
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these
were damaged the filling could get
out with the risk of igniting in the
dryer.
– items which have been treated with
inflamable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
In many programmes, the heating
~
phase is followed by a cooling down
phase to ensure that the items are not
too hot to handle when you remove
them (this also avoids the danger of the
laundry self-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down
– items which have been splashed with phase is complete.

remover or similar substances.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
~
dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately,
it could give off a great amount of heat.
Fabric conditioner and similar

products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.

Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
,The air inlet and outlet vents on
the front and back of the machine
must not be covered as this would
prevent sufficient ventilation for
cooling the condenser unit.
Room ventilation
The air which is taken in when the
dryer is in operation is blown out of
the vents on the front of the machine
and warms up the air in the room.
It is very important, particulary if the
room is small, to ensure adequate
ventilation. Opening a window, for
example, will allow more air to enter
the room. Otherwise running times
and energy consumption could be
increased.
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
Before moving the machine again
(e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
around the pump. This water can run
out if the machine is tipped up when it
is being moved. It is a good idea to run
the Cool air programme for
approximately 1 minute before moving
the machine. Any remaining condensed
water will then be fed into the

^ There will be a small amount of
residual water in the drain hose.
Have a container ready to collect this.
General notes
When drying is in progress, condensed
water is pumped into the condensed
water container through the drain hose at
the back of the dryer. The condensed
water can also be drained off directly if
the tumble dryer is installed near a sink,
drain outlet etc. so that the condensed
water container does not have to be
emptied.
Drain hose length . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.50 m
Maximum delivery head . . . . . . . 1.50 m
Maximum drain hose length . . . . 4.00 m
^ Pull the hose off its connection (see
arrow).
^ Allow any residual water to run into
the container.
,If the on-site water drainage
system is not fitted with a non-return
valve or an appropriate air gap, one
must be fitted to prevent the risk of
back-flow. (See "Installation conditions
requiring a non-return valve").
^ Unwind the hose and pull it carefully
out of the holders.
The following optional accessories are
available:
– an extension hose
– a non-return valve kit for connection
to an external condensed water outlet
(includes an extension hose).
Maximum delivery head with
non-return valve fitted: 1.00 m
Arranging the drain hose
^ Position the hose to the right or left
hand side as necessary.
,Do not pull on the drain hose and
do not stretch it or allow it to become
kinked as it could get damaged.
Leave the hose in the middle holder to
prevent it from becoming kinked
inadvertently.

Installation and connection
External drainage via a sink or gully
Example: Connection to a sink drain
outlet
^ See "Front view" illustration.
The drain hose with non-return valve
fitted can be connected directly to a
suitable sink drain outlet.
,If you want to drain the water off
into a sink you will need to secure
the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a
tap to make sure it cannot slip
during use. Otherwise there is a risk
of overflowing water which could
cause damage.
^ Use the bow-shaped guide to prevent
the drain hose from becoming
kinked.
Installation conditions requiring a
non-return valve
,If the on-site water drainage
system is not fitted with a non-return
valve or an appropriate air gap, one
must be fitted to prevent the risk of
back-flow. (A non-return valve kit is
available as an optional accessory).
Otherwise water could leak out of
the dryer and cause damage.
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the top:
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
A non-return valve is required:
– If the tumble dryer is connected to a
sink drain outlet (see the following
section).
– If the tumble dryer is connected to a
drainage system already in use by
another appliance, e.g. a dishwasher
or washing machine.

Installation and connection
^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet
using nut 2.
If this nut has a flat disc in it you
should take the disc out first.
^ Attach the end of the hose 4 to
adapter 1.
^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip
3 up close to the nut.
,Non-return valve 5 has to be
fitted with the arrow pointing in the
direction of flow (i.e. towards the
sink). Otherwise water will not drain
out of the machine.

^ Fit non-return valve 5 to the drain
hose on the dryer 6 (make sure it is
fitted correctly (see arrow on
