• Caution! The rear side can
become very hot!
• The dryer is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not use extension cords or multiple
plugs.
• Always switch the programme/time
selector switch to “0” after use to avoid
the dryer being turned on inadvertently.
• Before cleaning or maintenance, switch
the dryer off and remove the power supply
plug from the mains.
• Use a neutral cleaning agent and a damp
cloth to clean the outside of the dryer.
• Do not use abrasive agents or steel wool.
• Wipe off fluff from the door and door seal
with a damp cloth.
• If the mesh of the door filter have formed
a white lining, clean the filter with water
and a soft brush.
• As the door filter does not retain every
piece of debris, you will need to
occasionally clean the entire filter range
(including under the door filter) with a
brush, a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner.
• Do not jam laundry items when closing
the door! It could damage the fabric!
• Starched laundry leaves a lining of starch
in the drum and does therefore not
belong in the dryer.
• If you exceed the filling volume indicated
in the programme chart, the laundry will
be creased.
• When using “conditioning sheets” a lining
can form at the door filter and block it.
We recommend not using tumble drying
sheets.
• To be eligible for warranty claims, the
filter material of the door filter and the
base filter must be cleaned after each
individual drying cycle. Rinse the foam
off the base filter under running water
after each cycle.
• Please make sure both filters and the foam
of the base filter are dry when you put them
back in place and before you start the next
drying cycle.
• Access to mains power points (e.g.
power sockets, wall switches, fuses) and
the water tap must be assured.
• Repairs, changes or alterations on or in the
appliance, and in particular to electrically
conducting components, must always be
performed by the manufacturer, or by the
manufacturer’s service personnel or by a
person with an equivalent level of
expertise. Unprofessional repair work can
lead to serious accidents, damage to the
appliance and equipment, and to
operational malfunctions. In the event of an
operational fault on the appliance, or of
repair work being required, please read the
instructions in the REPAIR SERVICE
chapter. If needed, please contact our
customer service department.
• Always use genuine spare parts.
• Every time you close the door on the
appliance, and before starting a
programme, always check to ensure that
there are no foreign bodies or pets inside
the laundry drum.
• Dryer additives (e.g. scented cloths) can
cause severe irritation to eyes, mouth and
throat, and can even lead to choking /
asphyxiation. Always store dryer additives
safely out of the reach of children.
• As soon as a malfunction is detected,
disconnect the appliance from its mains
power source.
• Never switch on the appliance without a
door filter, or with a damaged one. Fluff
could then build up and destroy the
appliance.
• Do not dry fabrics containing residues of
hair spray, hair gel, nail polish remover or
similar substances. Risk of gas buildup.
• Drying textiles with metal trimmings or
using “dryer balls” can wear out the
surface of the dryer drum.
