Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and
soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore
needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most
economically if you:
– Always keep the ventilation slots on the
base of the dryer unobstructed;
– Use the loading volumes specified in
the programme overview;
– Ensure you have good ventilation in the
installation room;
– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine
strainer after each drying cycle;
– Spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on
spinning speed set in washing
machine. Higher spinning speed lower energy consumption.

cycle.
If the water reservoir is full, an active
programme will break off automatically and
the warning lamp Full tank lights. In order to
continue the programme, the water
reservoir must first be emptied.
The water reservoir has a volume of
approx. 4 litres.
The condensed water can be used as
distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing.
However it must first be filtered (e.g.
with a coffee filter) to remove any
residue and small pieces of fluff.
Warning! The condensed water is
not suitable for drinking or for
preparing foodstuffs.
1.
Take out drawer containing water
reservoir completely 1 and pull up the
water reservoir's drainage pipe as far as

Cleaning heat exchanger
filters
If the warning lamp Condenser lights, the heat
exchanger fluff filters in the base of the
appliance must be cleaned, i.e. after each 3
drying cycles. Both filters are located in the
appliance base.
Water can collect in the filter housing
therefore it is normal for the heat
exchanger fluff filters to become wet.
2.
Important!
• Never operate the dryer without the fluff
filters.
• Clogged filters cause higher energy
consumption (drying cycle elongation) and
dryer damage.
• A dirty heat pump can only be cleaned up

Installation
Transporting the
appliance
Important! Only tip the appliance on its
left side to transport (see illustration), if it
cannot be transported in an upright position.
22
Important!
• The appliance should not be installed in an
environment such as a unheated garage or
outbuilding. The combination of high
humidity and low ambient temperatures
could affect the performance or the
appliance and therefore invalidate your
guarantee.
• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer
can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.
The appliance must therefore not be
installed on floors which are not resistant
to high temperatures.
• When operating the tumble dryer, the
room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it
may affect the performance of the
appliance.
• Should the appliance be moved, it must
be transported vertically.
• The appliance must not be installed
behind the lockable door, a sliding door a
door with a hinge on the opposite side to
that of the appliance in such a way that a
full opening of the dryer is restricted.
Appliance positioning
• It is recommended that, for your
convenience, the machine is positioned
close to your washing machine.
• The tumble dryer must be installed in a
clean place, where dirt does not build up.
• Air must be able to circulate freely all
round the appliance. Do not obstruct the
front ventilation grille or the air intake
grilles at the back of the machine.
• To keep vibration and noise to a
minimum when the dryer is in use, it
should be placed on a firm, level surface.
• Once in its permanent operating position,
check that the dryer is absolutely level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not,
raise or lower the feet until it is.
• The feet must never be removed. Do not
restrict the floor clearance through
deeppile carpets, strips of wood or
similar. This might cause heat built-up
which would interfere with the operation
of the appliance.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any
reason, proceed as described below. The
wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
• Green and Yellow - Earth
• Blue - Neutral
• Brown - Live
Warning! If the appliance was not
transported in an upright position,
leave it to stand for 12 hours before
connecting it to the electricity supply

wires in the mains lead of your appliance
may not correspond with the markings
identifying the terminals in your plug.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth)
wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter "E" or the earth
symbol
or coloured green and

Permanent connection
In the case of permanent connection it is
necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the appliance and the
electricity supply (mains), with a minimum
gap of 3mm between the switch contacts
and of a type suitable for the required load
in compliance with the current electrical
regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and
green earth cable at any point.
Warning! A cut off plug
inserted into a 13 amp socket is
a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is
disposed of safely.
Door reversal
Warning! The plug must still be
accessible after the appliance
has been installed.
To make it easier to load or unload the
laundry, the door can be reversed.
