WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION
Do not dry laundry that has ever been in contact 

with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint (e.g. nail 

varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent, 

etc.).

1.

Check lint filter.

The filter should be cleaned after or before every 

drying process. Cleaning the filter reduces the drying 

time and saves energy.

2.

Load the laundry into the drum and close the door.

Tip: 

If the door has not been closed properly, the dryer 

will not start.

Tips

After loading, close the door carefully so as not to trap 

any items between the door and the rubber seal. The 

door should be closed until a click is heard. 

Foreign objects left in the drum may damage laundry. 

Before inserting any laundry, check to make sure no 

foreign objects are in the drum. 

Recommended Load Size

Recommended maximum load size can be found in the 

program selection table in this manual.
