■
Do not stand the appliance on rugs or
carpets. Otherwise, it may not be able
to properly ventilate, which can result
in overheating and damage to it.
■
For rugs, carpet, parquet or wooden
fl oorboards, place a stable wooden
plate measuring at least 60 × 60 cm
underneath the appliance.
■
Keep the room well ventilated during
the drying process. Do not allow the
room temperature to exceed 35 °C
during the drying process.
■
Do not place the appliance on top of
other appliances and do not use it
as a base for other appliances (e. g.
for washing machines). Do not sit or
stand on the appliance.
■
Never turn off the appliance before
the end of a drying cycle, unless you
are able to quickly remove all laundry
items and spread them out to dissi-
pate the heat.
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to water damage.
■
Do not leave the appliance unsuper-
vised for long periods of time while
the valve is open. When draining
as a result of leakiness, substantial
amounts of water may leak out.
■
Do not connect the appliance to the
hot water supply.
■
Only connect the appliance to a wa-
ter supply with an inlet water pressure
between 0.1 Mpa and 1.0 Mpa (1.0 to
10.0 bar). For higher water pressure,
a pressure regulator needs to be in-
stalled. Enquire about the water pres-
sure with the local waterworks.
■
Close the water inlet tap after every
use.
■
Close the water inlet tap before clean-
ing the water inlet fi lter.
■
Only use the hose set delivered with
the appliance to connect to the water
supply. Do not use old hose sets.
■
Do not extend the water outlet hose
or replace it with another hose.
■
Make sure that the water outlet hose
is not bent or twisted.
■
Be aware that substantial amounts
of water may leak out during emer-
gency draining.
■
Ensure that the water drain is a max-
imum of 100 cm above the ground.
■
Ensure that the water outlet hose is
clipped into the retaining clips on the
back of the appliance so that the cur-
vature always remains above the wa-
terline.
■
Do not submerge the end of the hose
in the pumped out water.
■
If the appliance is located in a room
susceptible to frost, the water in the
appliance can freeze in below-zero
temperatures. For this reason, drain
away the leftover water if there is a
risk of frost to avoid damage to the
appliance.
■
Never try to open the loading door
with force whilst a cycle is in progress
or once a cycle has ended.
Improper cleaning of the appliance can
cause damage.
■
Never use harsh, granular, soda, acid,
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
They can damage the surfaces or
make the rubber sleeve brittle and
fragile. All-purpose cleaners with a
neutral pH are recommended.
