Preventing material damage

Follow these instructions to avoid ma-
terial damage and damage to the ap-
pliance.

ATTENTION!

The functionality of the appliance
may be impaired if you use the
wrong quantity of fabric softener, de-
tergent, care product or cleaning
agent.

Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer.

Exceeding the maximum load capa-
city impairs the function of the appli-
ance.

Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do
not exceed it. 
→ 

"Programmes", Page 26

The function of the appliance may be
impaired if the appliance overheats.

During operation, keep the air inlet
on the appliance clear.

Make sure that the area is ad-
equately ventilated.

Light objects such as hair and fluff
may be sucked into the air inlet on
the appliance during operation and
impair the function of the appliance.

Keep the area around the appli-
ance clean during operation.

Keep light objects away from the
appliance.

If you operate the appliance without a
fluff guard (e.g. fluff filter, fluff col-
lector, filter mat, etc., depending on
appliance specifications), or if the
fluff guard is incomplete or defective,
this may result in damage to the ap-
pliance.

Do not operate the appliance
without a fluff guard, or with a fluff
guard that is incomplete or defect-
ive.

Foam and foam rubber may deform
or melt during the drying process.

Do not dry laundry that contains
foam or foam rubber.

Unsuitable cleaning products may
damage the surfaces of the appli-
ance.

Do not use harsh or abrasive de-
tergents.

Do not use cleaning products with
a high alcohol content.

Do not use hard scouring pads or
cleaning sponges.

Clean the appliance with nothing
but water and a soft, damp cloth.

Remove all detergent residue,
spray residue or other residues im-
mediately if they come into contact
with the appliance.

Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.

Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.

Operate the appliance in a well-vent-
ilated room and keep the air inlet on
the appliance clear.

a

If air exchange is impeded, this ex-
tends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
