After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the
power mains; this allows the dryer to stabilize.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Connect the dryer to a grounded power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely
accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant
regulations).
Information on your dryer is indicated on the rating plate (see chapter »DESCRIPTION OF THE
DRYER/Technical information«).
We recommend using over-voltage protection to protect the appliance in case of a
lightning strike.
The dryer may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or a hair
dryer.
Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained
experts.
A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person authorized by the manufacturer.
