• Only fill the water tank with distilled
water. Do not use tap water or addi-
tives! You can also use the con-
densed water from this machine, as

not place objects on the machine.
These may fall off during operation.
• The lampcover for the interior light
must be screwed down tightly.
Child safety

• Children can often not see the dan-
gers associated with electric ma-
chines. Never leave unsupervised
children near the appliance.
• Ensure that children and small ani-
mals cannot climb into the appli-
ance’s drum. Risk of death! Keep the
appliance door shut whenever it is
not being used.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine may only be
carried out by technicians.
• Never start up the machine if the
mains cable is damaged or if the op-
erating screen, operating plate or
base area are damaged so that the
inside of the machine is open and
accessible.
• A damaged mains cable must be re-
placed by a qualified electrician or
Customer Service.
• Switch off the machine before all
cleaning, care or maintenance work.
Also disconnect the mains plug from
the socket or – with permanent con-
nections – switch off the circuit
breaker in the fuse box and/or fully
unscrew the screwed-in fuse.
• Disconnect the machine from the
power supply during long pauses in
operations.
• When removing from the socket,
never pull the mains plug by the ca-
ble, instead take a hold of the plug.
• Manifold plugs, couplings and exten-
sion cables must not be used. Risk
of fire from overheating!
• The height-adjustable feet must not
be removed.
• Do not spray down the machine with
jets of water. Risk of electric shock!
• Do not lean on the open door. The
machine may tip over.
• Once the drying cycle or Iron Aid
programme has been interrupted,
the laundry and drum may be hot.
Risk of burns! Take care when re-
moving the laundry.
• Take care when interrupting the Iron
Aid programme: Do not open the
machine door during the steam
phase. Hot steam may result in
burns. The display has a steam sym-
bol to indicate the steam phase.
• If you end the drying cycle or Iron Aid
programme before it has come to
the end, it is important to quickly re-
move and unfold all the laundry so it
can cool quickly.
• The last stage in the drying cycle is a
cooling phase to protect the laundry
from damage caused by high tem-
peratures.
• Caution – Hot surface:
Do not touch the back of the appli-
ance while it is operating.
