Correct use


Always close the drum door after each drying cycle. This will prevent:
- Children climbing into the tumble dryer or hiding things in it.
- Pets or other small animals climbing into the tumble dryer.

Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located free from dust and fluff. If the air that is
taken into the machine contains dirt particles, this can cause blockages. A fault may then
occur and there is a risk of fire.

The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.

To ensure problem-free operation of the tumble dryer:
- Remove the fluff from the fluff filter surfaces after every drying cycle.
- Dry the fluff filter after wet cleaning. Wet or damp fluff filters/filters could cause opera-
tional faults while drying.
- In addition, the fluff filter and the air passages must be cleaned when prompted by the
display.

Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).

The programme ends when the cooling phase starts. Many programmes are followed by
the cooling phase to ensure that the items of laundry are kept at a temperature that will not
cause them damage (for instance to prevent the risk of the laundry self-igniting). Always re-
move all items of laundry from the tumble dryer immediately after the end of the pro-
gramme/cooling phase.

Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on
the manufacturer's packaging.

For tumble dryers with stainless steel surfaces:
The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid cleaning and disinfect-
ing agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a cor-
rosive effect on stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive.
Do not store containers of these agents near the tumble dryer.
