Safety measures in the event of leaking refrigerant

The heat-pump coolant circuit contains a non-toxic, odourless refrigerant (R134a). If re-
leased into the atmosphere it is rapidly volatised. Because it is heavier than air, it can dis-
place oxygen and pose a danger of asphyxiation in small unventilated rooms.

If any damage is found on the copper pipes on the heat-pump, stop using the machine
and vacate the room immediately.
– Warn other people present of the danger.
– Please see the safety data sheet for further information on how to handle this refriger-
ant.
– Call Service.
Preventing problems

Empty all pockets to prevent the risk of flammable items such as lighters, matches,
candles and cosmetics getting into the tumble dryer.

Always make sure that the tumble dryer drum is stationary before reaching in to remove
laundry. Do not touch a drum that is still rotating. Reaching into a moving drum poses a
significant danger of injury.

Many drying programmes include a cooling phase for the laundry. These drying pro-
grammes are only finished once the cooling phase is complete. This ensures that the laun-
dry items do not remain at a high temperature and do not become damaged.
Only unload the tumble dryer once the drying programme has come to a complete finish.
Otherwise, a fire risk is posed by hot laundry self-igniting when it is stored or packaged.

Never use the tumble dryer without the fluff filters in place. Otherwise there is a risk of
fire.
A damaged fluff filter must be replaced immediately. Otherwise, the air paths and heating
may become clogged with fluff. If this is the case, it is no longer possible to guarantee that
the tumble dryer will operate without issues.
