1.4 Safe Installation
WARNING Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect installation is dangerous. Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the specifications on the rating plate. Connect the appliance to a power supply with alternating current only via a properly installed socket with earthing. The protective conductor system of the domestic electrical installation must be properly installed. The installation must have a sufficiently large cross section. When using a residual current circuit breaker, only use a type with the mark. Never equip the appliance with an external switching device, e.g. a timer or remote control. Never connect the appliance to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the energy supplier. When the appliance is installed, the mains plug of the power cord must be freely accessible. If free access is not possible, an isolating switch must be integrated into the permanent electrical installation according to the installation regulations. When installing the appliance, check that the power cable is not trapped or damaged. If the insulation of the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous. Never let the power cord come into contact with hot appliance parts or heat sources. Never let the power cord come into contact with sharp points or edges. Never kink, crush or modify the power cord.
WARNING Risk of fire!
It is dangerous to use an extended power cord and non-approved adapters. Do not use extension cables or multiple socket strips. Only use adapters and power cords approved by the manufacturer. If the power cord is too short and a longer one is not available, please contact an electrician to have the domestic installation adapted.
WARNING Risk of injury!
The heavy weight of the appliance may result in injury when lifted. Do not lift the appliance on your own. If this appliance is not correctly installed in a washer-dryer stack, the installed appliance may fall. Only stack the dryer on a washing machine using the connection kit from the dryer manufacturer. No other installation method is permitted. Refer to "Accessories", Page 20. Do not install the appliance in a washer-dryer stack if the dryer manufacturer does not offer a suitable connection kit. Do not install appliances from different manufacturers and with varying depths and widths in a washer-dryer stack. Do not install a washer-dryer stack on a platform; the appliances may tip over.
WARNING Risk of suffocation!
Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children. Do not let children play with packaging material.
CAUTION Risk of injury!
The appliance may vibrate or move when in use. Place the appliance on a clean, even, solid surface. Align the appliance using the appliance feet and a spirit level. If hoses and power cords have been laid incorrectly, this causes a tripping hazard. Lay hoses and power cords in such a way that there is no risk of tripping. If the appliance is moved by holding onto protruding components, such as the appliance door, the parts may break off. Do not move the appliance by holding onto protruding parts.
CAUTION Risk of cutting!
Touching sharp edges on the appliance may lead to cuts. Do not touch the sharp edges on the appliance. Wear protective gloves when installing and transporting the appliance.
1.5 Safe Use

Do not use steam- or high-pressure cleaners, hoses or sprays to clean the appliance.
WARNING Risk of harm to health!
Children can lock themselves in the appliance, thereby putting their lives at risk. Do not install the appliance behind a door as this may obstruct the appliance door or prevent it from opening. With redundant appliances, unplug the power cord. Then cut through the cord and damage the lock on the appliance door beyond repair so that the appliance door will no longer close.
WARNING Risk of suffocation!
Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with small parts.
WARNING Risk of explosion!
If there is coal dust or flour in the air around the appliance, this may cause an explosion. Keep the area around the appliance clean during operation.
WARNING Risk of poisoning!
Condensation water from this appliance is not suitable for drinking and may be contaminated with fluff. Do not drink or reuse the condensation water from the appliance. Detergents and care products may result in poisoning if consumed. If accidentally swallowed, seek medical advice. Keep detergents and care products out of the reach of children.
WARNING Risk of explosion!
If there is any residual material left in the fluff filter, this may ignite during the drying process. Clean the fluff filter regularly. Highly flammable objects such as lighters or matches may ignite during the drying process. Remove all highly flammable objects from any pockets in your laundry before the drying process. Unwashed laundry that has come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, wax remover, paint, grease or stain remover may ignite when drying is in progress. Do not place laundry in this appliance to be dried if the laundry has not been washed first. Rinse the laundry thoroughly with warm water and detergent before drying it in the machine. Do not use the appliance if industrial chemicals have been used to clean the laundry beforehand.
WARNING Risk of fire!
If drying is interrupted early, the laundry is not cooled sufficiently and may ignite. Do not interrupt the drying programme early. If drying is interrupted early, remove the laundry immediately and spread it out.
CAUTION Risk of injury!
The covering plate may break if you stand on or climb onto the appliance. Do not stand on or climb onto the appliance. The appliance may tip over if you sit on or lean against the open door.

WARNING Risk of injury!
The use of non-original spare parts and non-original accessories is dangerous. Only use the manufacturer's original spare parts and original accessories.
WARNING Risk of poisoning!
Poisonous fumes may be given off if you use cleaning agents that contain solvents. Do not use cleaning agents that contain solvents.
2 Preventing Material Damage
ATTENTION
The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if you use the wrong quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product or cleaning agent. Follow the dosage recommendations from the manufacturer. Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the function of the appliance. Observe the maximum load capacity for each programme and do not exceed it. Refer to "Programmes", Page 18. The function of the appliance may be impaired if the appliance overheats. Keep the ventilation opening on the appliance clear during operation. Make sure that the area is adequately ventilated. Light objects such as hair and fluff may be sucked in from the ventilation opening on the appliance during operation and impair the function of the appliance. Keep the area around the appliance clean during operation. Keep light objects away from the appliance. If you operate the appliance without a fluff guard (e.g. fluff filter, fluff collector, filter mat, etc., depending on appliance specifications), or if the fluff guard is incomplete or defective, this may result in damage to the appliance. Do not operate the appliance without a fluff guard, or with a fluff guard that is incomplete or defective.
Foam and foam rubber may deform or melt during the drying process. Do not dry laundry that contains foam or foam rubber. Unsuitable cleaning products may damage the surfaces of the appliance. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents. Do not use cleaning products with a high alcohol content. Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges. Clean the appliance with nothing but water and a soft, damp cloth. Remove all detergent residue, spray residue or other residues immediately if they come into contact with the appliance.
