Installation and connection
• Check the dryer for Transportation damage. Never connect-up a dam-
aged appliance! Contact your supplier if the appliance is damaged.
• If the tumble dryer has to be carried, first remove the plinth!
• Do not set-up the dryer in frost-endangered rooms!
• Set-up the dryer horizontal!
• If the dryer is placed adjacent to a gas, coal or electric cooking stove,
interpose a thermally insulating non-combustible plate between the
dryer and the stove (dimensions: 85x57,5cm).
• Do not place the dryer on high-pile carpet floors!
This would hinder air circulation at the ventilation slots!
• The electric power plug connector of the appliance must remain acces-
sible even after installation.
• Check that the tumble dryer is not standing on the mains cable.
• The technical conditions of the electric power supply company for
making fixed connections of electrical appliances to the mains require
that such connections may only be made by an authorised electrician.
3 General Information
• Starched washing leaves traces of starch on the drum and therefore
should not be placed in the tumble dryer.
• If you exceed the maximum load stipulated in the program table your
washing is more likely to get creased! For very delicate fabrics you
should only fill in 1.5kg washing at the most.
• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is caused by being
worn, 20 per cent by washing and only 10 per cent by being dried in a
tumble dryer. As the fabric is worn down, fluff gathers in the fluff fil-
ter. When using a tumble dryer, only approx. 0.03g fluff per kilo-
gramme washing is produced.
