Installation requirements

IMPORTANT: This dryer must be
installed such that the air inlets and
outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).

There should be a gap of at least 12mm
(0.5 inches) between the sides rear and base
of the machine and the surrounding walls,
cabinets and floor.

To ensure adequate ventilation the space
between the bottom of the machine and the
floor must not be obstructed.

NEVER install the dryer up against
curtains.

Prevent items from falling or collecting
behind and beneath the dryer as these may
obstruct the air inlets and outlets.

Preparing the load

Before using the dryer for the first time
wipe the inside of the drum and door with a
damp cloth.

Make sure that the laundry you are going to
dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer,
as shown by the care symbols on each item.

Clothes preparation

Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside
out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to
make sure that they don’t get tangled.

Warning:

Do not overload the drum, large items
when wet can exceed the maximum
admissible clothes load (for example:
sleeping bags, duvets).

Maximum drying weight

Cottons Max. 6 kg

Synthetics Max. 3 kg

Sort the load as follows:

A) By care symbols

On the collar or inside seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

B) By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the
dryer capacity, separate clothes
according to thickness (e.g. towels from
thin underwear).
