Before Using the Appliance for the First Time

Packaging: Remove all packaging materials and sort them according to local recommendations.

Cleaning: Before the first use, disconnect the dryer from the mains and clean the drum with a soft, damp cotton cloth and water. For 3-phase connections, switch off the main socket switch.

INFORMATION! A program cannot be started if the door is open.

Choosing the Language: Upon initial connection and power-on, you can select your preferred language.

INFORMATION! A slight humming noise may occur during the first few uses or after a long period of inactivity, which is normal and will disappear.

Installation and Connection

INFORMATION! After installation, allow the appliance to stand for 24 hours before its first use. If the dryer was laid down during transport or servicing, place it on its left side (viewing from the front) and allow it to stand upright for 24 hours.

Dryer Placement: The dryer can be placed freestanding or stacked on a washing machine. Installation on a washing machine requires at least two people.

Ensure adequate ventilation, as the dryer emits heat, which can prolong drying times in small rooms. Avoid placing the dryer in temperatures below 0°C to prevent damage. For optimal performance, install in a room with adequate ventilation and temperatures between 15°C and 25°C.

WARNING! Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door or a sliding door that restricts the full opening of the dryer door.
